Relax Stryprod, things are probably fine. Throw another couple boxes of gars in the humi, quit opening the humi every 20 minutes , and I bet everything settles down in a couple of weeks to a month.

Also, don't even begin to figure out some cock-a-mamie "dry bead to clear bead" mixture. Anybody with a stable humidor figures out to either add a little water to ALL the beads periodically, or dry ALL the beads periodically.

The beads are basically rocks, they can't think or talk to one another. They either absorb moisture or expell moisture at their set point. There is the possibility someone mentioned that you have 70% beads, but I would wait a good little while before pointing the finger at the seller.

A little common sense is needed to see the big picture . Trying to stabilize the moisture content of a couple pounds of wood and 5 or so pounds of cigars with beads, teaspoons of water, and an iffy hygrometer gadget is going to take some time and trial and error .

Good luck!
