Electrinic Humidifier Question

Seal the door and perhaps the windows and post an intro

Leave things well enough alone. 62% to 65% is almost too high anyway.

Are you sure your hygrometers are calibrated?

Absolutely.

I don't see how your hygrometers can be calibrated properly if they are getting significantly different readings when placed next to each other. Did you calibrate with a salt test?

Your humidor is quite large. Assuming that it was quite dry when bought, it will probably suck up a lot of the humidity available before it stabilizes. As Craig mentioned, check for leaks around the doors and windows and keep your beads hydrated.

How are your cigars smoking? I really don't see a problem here. Most hygrometers aren't precise enough to get that anal about a few points. Mine is rarely above 63% and my cigars smoke just fine.

The cigars are smoking fine, but I guess I was more concerned whether the electronic humidifier was not functioning properly, or if I wasn't using it correctly. As it turns out, the humidifier needs to be replaced. I agree tho, no need to be concerned about a few %, low-mid 60s is fine by me.

You mean the fan unit? Why does it need replaced if you have a different hydrometer that you trust? I have an Oasis, and even if it was reading low / high, I could adjust the rH level to calibrate it myself. Do the fans not work at all?
