Seems you're doing all the right things, keep on going, it's not a quick process, but like all good things it just takes time.

thank you for reading the instructions! i can't tell you how many humidors i see that are ruined by people wiping down the inside with a damp cloth. DO NOT do this! the cedar absorbs the moisture too quickly which can cause it to split.

I usually recommend leaving a shot glass (clean obviously) half full with distilled water or propylene glycol solution, in the humidor for about 4days, depending on the size of the humidor, along with any beads/gels/sponges you will be using for humidification.

once it has stabilized you can check your hygrometer and adjust as appropriate.

At the end of the day it isnt rocket science, it's a wooden box - if it's too moist, open it up until it drops to the correct level, if it's too dry add more solution and keep it closed. not much else too it. when you add new stock it will adjust the level of moisture within, no need to check it everyday, but keep an eye on it every now and then and adjust as necessary.

happy smoking!
