This is correct!

I ran this post because I was hoping that people would reply with personal experiences and how they managed it. Just telling me that they never checked it and the RH is fine doesn't tell me if there was a leak to begin with. I don't mind spending the extra money on a larger humidor but if people are having the same manageable experiences with better cost efficiency, I'm all for it.

Agreed. That is what I was trying to point out in my last post, which was not clear enough.

The people that are telling you that they never check, never check because everything is working. They are not (yet) telling you want they had to go through "back in the day" to get themselves set up to the point that everything is working great. It may be that some people got their first humidor and it just worked perfectly from the start, but I think that is the exception and not the norm.

I find that my 150 count humidor is much easier to manage and maintain than my original 30 count. My 300 count is eaiser to manage and maintain than my 150 count. All are of the same general quality, but the bigger the humidor the slower problems are to appear, the problems seem to be smaller in magnitude, and any problems seem to be easier to resolve.
