Major Humidor Problems

[Dub's]

Hey Guys;

I am sure you have been asked a million questions about humidor problems but I can not get mine to maintain. I cant seem to get it above 50-54%RH. I have a Siglo Vibrant Series 75 sticks humidor with about 77 sticks in it. I calibrated the hygrometer with a One Step Calibration Humidipak 75.5% RH. After 30 hrs it read 73% RH. I have The Puck-100/70%. I added the distilled water to The Puck and after a week they are still basically clear. I moved rooms and the same thing. So if my hygrometer calibrated correctly and The Puck beads are not turning white why is the humidor only maintaining a RH of around 50%? Any help would be appreciated.

Im new here also but just wondered, how long did you "season" your humidor ? I let my humi sit about a week with just the cheapo humidifer that came with mine (i also heated up a bowl of warm distilled water & let it sit everyday)

I would also do a search within this site (i read it when i was setting up my humi) on, like bigpoppa said "setting up your humidor" !!
