Humidity Levels

[captainron19]

I am having a lot of trouble maintaining humidity levels in my humidor. I only had a couple of cigars in there but just recently re-stocked it andam worried I may lose these cigars. I have a digital gauge inside that is showing 72 Degrees F and a humidity level of 60%

Inside the Humidor I have a "Big Easy" gel humidifier that is full. As a matter of fact I filled it yesterday and also added an old humidifier cartridge from an old humidor. Both were filled with distilled water but the humidity is not going above 60%. I am sure it should be more.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

If you're adding sticks, you should be fine. The more cigars you have in there, the more consistant your RH is going to be.

I also suggest going to Heartfelt Beads. They keep everything consistent.

set it up again......moisten all the inside wood (spanish cedar)...did you do it at all??....and recalibrate the hygrometer.....62-65 should be fine....

To maintain godd humidity, you want more sticks in there. The more the merrier!!

At 72º if you are adding moisture and no change occurs from 60 R/H, I'd believe the humidity reading is bad or your humidor has a poor seal. Try a different hydrometer.
