I don't think re-seasoning will hurt anything. At least that way you'd have peace of mind that it is done correctly. It could be that the humi doesn't have a good seal. Not sure how to test a humidor like the one you have (coolerdor's can do a flashlight test to see if any light is leaking).

I say maybe start seasoning it now and go order some beads. Hopefully it will be seasoned by the time they arrive and then you can put them in to see if you can get a steady RH.

Good luck!
The RH of the room where the humidor is kept is 50%. The temp in the room stays between 74-78 degrees.
The time period of the RH UP-swing takes a day or two.The RH DOWN-swing takes about 2-3 weeks. I think I will re-season and order (or get at my local shop) the beads. I have a cooler I can keep my smokes in for the meantime.

Something occurred to me when taking out the hygrometer to check the room RH. The hygrometer is right in between and practicality touching the two lid humidifiers. (all velcro'd) I wonder if I put the hygrometer in the middle tray (three layer humi) or for that matter the top tray if I would get a different, or for lack of better words, more correct reading? I guess the real question is "Does it matter where the hygrometer is located in the humi?"

Thanks Again.
