If your hygrometer gave the same recording before and after water was added to your humidor, I say your hygromoter is not working properly. I bought a digital Credo hygrometer which was giving like 90% humidity levels after I added water to my humidor. First, I wet down the cedar with water, then placed a bowl of distilled water in the humidor along with my heartfelt beads and digital hygrometer. I would actually do things a little differently now that I have gone through the process once. To find out if your hygrometer is working, order the Boveda pack and check the reading. Usually the hygrometer is held to the wood by an adhesive, so it should not be a problem taking it off and putting it back on. My apologies to you if that is not the case with your humidor.
