Question about my coolidor.

[Paddy]

Ok, Coolerdors are 100% air tight. When I recharge my Bead tubes my coolerdor will run over 70% ( do to too much distilled wtaer in beads) Just leave the lid open for a hour or two and then close it. Check the RH the next day if it's still two high repeat step 1. Unlike desktops, I will only have to charge my beads maybe twice a year in my coolerdors. This is not a very big problem. You should be able to get it under control quickly.

I just crack the lid on my cooler overnight after i recharge my pucks then just keep checking it, if it gets to high i crack the lid again till the excess humidity drops.

Then, do as the others have stated, crack the lid for a bit. If you charged 100% of the beads and your cigars are already at the proper RH, or higher, then there is nothing to absorb the excess humidity.

Ok that sucks... I'm gonna test the gauge one more time.

I guess a fan wouldn't make a difference? I'm guessing the only thing that will make a difference is more cigars (Awesome) or more cedar to absorb the humidity?

Yep and Yep. If you have some of those cedar spacer blocks that come in some cigar boxes, you can put them in your oven at low temp for a bit and sort of "Kiln dry" them. Let them cool, then place them in your cooler fairly close to your beads and they'll suck up some moisture for you rather rapidly. You can put empty boxes or pieces of cedar in without drying them, the absorption of moisture will just be slower.
