Vinotemp Humidity problem !! Neep help

[Mirrorlure7m]

Well I received a Calibration Kit from Heartfelt for my hygrometers. And they are dead on. They are perfect. My room tempature is at 77 degrees and around 40% RH if this helps any As of now I have the Vinotemp set to 66 degrees which is the highest temp setting it can be set to . And my Humidty is at 74% on the bottom and 69 degrees ..And 65 % humidity and 72 degrees at the top of the unit. I have dried the 1 pound bag of 70% RH beads out on the bottom of the unit and then dried out the 1 pound of 70% RH beads I have on the top of the unit and just added a little bit of distilled water to the beads at the top. So now what should I do ? Becuase it is 10 % RH difference from the bottom to the top.

Relax and have a smoke. Things are fine.

Give up

Not trying to be a smart ass, but you have a wine cooler not a $2500 piece of high tech refrigeration equipment. If you are going to obsess until every part of the unit reads exactly the same every time you look into it you are setting yourself up for sleepless nights and failure.

I have 2 units, 2 brands and no matter what I have done they fluctuate slightly. Many others here are in the same boat and I believe the goal is to get it as stable as possible with the least effort and call it success. The key most of us are looking for is stability inside boxes and trays. If the RH and temp inside a box or tray in the unit only moves around a point or 2 in a 24 hour period, that is what I am looking for. Try a 48 hour test inside a box of cigars inside the unit and see what the change is inside the box.

Don't over think this bro, your going to burst a blood vessel.
