Extra Large 65% Rh Heartfelt Humidity Tube

Bob is wise, Bill.

Besides that, I would ask if your hygrometer is calibrated, and it your humidor is properly sealed.

Properly sealed....I think so, how would I check that?

Hygrometer calibrated....nope, paid $45 and it said that wasn't necessary. It was the same RH as the cheap crap one they gave me...EXACTLY the same so to me that said it's 99% correct.

To check the seal on your humidor, assuming its a desktop, lift the lid 3-4 inches and drop. You should hear the air "whoosh" out, the lid should not slam shut. It if slams shut, they you probably have a leak. You may be able to find the leak by checking with a flashlight inside and looking for light escaping. You can also put a dollar bill in various places around the edge. If it slips out too easily in one place that is where you are leaking. Apply some painters tape in small strips around the edge where you find the leak.

I'll try that dollar bill trick. But it doesn't slam shut at all, it closes very nicely.

If it doesnt slam,then you are ok. Probably just needs time to stabilize, give it a couple of weeks.

It is necessary, Bill.
