I have had my humidification device in the humidor along with the shot glass full of distilled water since tuesday at 6pm central standard time and I just took a look inside and there is about a quarter of an inch of water gone from the shot glass. Now with my doubtful hygrometers, how do I tell if its seasoned or not? The digital has a reading of 75% and the analog has a reading of 72% after doing the math.
Judging by the content of this thread, I'm going to assume you're new to cigars and humidors. Now that that's outta the way a here's some thoughts:

1) Analog hydrometer suck IMO
2) If the humidor is apparently sucking water, it's either air leaky, or it's not seasoned.
3) Don't worry about it
4) Get some humidity beads
5) Regularly smoke cigars outta this humi. If they burn black, and taste like ash, they're too dry. If it feels like you're sucking a golf ball through a garden hose, and the wrapper split all the time, it's too wet.
6) Don't worry about it
7) Get a coolerdor made up and hoard shitloads of smokes. If this humidor is running dry, use it as a dry boxer, just for decoration, or keep your macanudos in it.

PS "they are sending me a new POS hygrometer" made me laugh
