can't get humidor to hold a constant humidity

[EWan154]

Hi,
Sorry to be a pain in the ass about this. I bought a cheap humidor. I have seasoned the humidor by taking a sponge and soaking the interior, I have also done the salt test as well.

The problem is I can't seem to get the humidor to keep can't hold a constant humidity.

The seal on the humidor seem fine,will try and post a picture of the humidor.

I bought a cheap humidor.

There's your problem, along with the hygrometer that came supplied with the humidor. Either buy a quality humidor from somewhere like cubancrafters.com, or buy at least a 50 qt cooler. Then buy the beads from Heartfelt industries.

No more problems after that.

Small humi's tend to be tough to keep steady as well. Practically the entire air contents are exchanged every time you open it. I have had few problems since buying a cooler and keeping it filled with boxes. I also get a much better reading after buying a digital thermomoter/hygometer from Wal-Mart for about five bucks. It looks exactly the same as the one's cigar shops sell, only it's white plastic and cost less than 1/4 of the price.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies

Do you think It would make any difference if I bought a new Hygrometer?


i was thinking about buying this humidor-do you think it would be any better?

Heartfelt humidity beads and a digital hygrometer are the way to go with nearly any setup...

Is it possible to buy Heartfelt humidity beads in the uk? I'm not very sure about ordering them from the US-by the time they get over here they will probably be broken
