Recently won a Humi-Care HX10 Crystal Gel Rectangle Humidifier here on C-Bid. Filled it to the line with distilled water as the instructions stated. However, it continues to read at around 88% when stored in the humidor for a couple of days. The humidor is sealed well and is also lined with Spanish Cedar. The distilled water was absorbed by the gel, so there does not appear to be any excess distilled water.
The hygrometer reads closer to 68 - 72% when kept in my other humidors using Boveda packs.Recently won a Humi-Care HX10 Crystal Gel Rectangle Humidifier here on C-Bid.

The hygrometer reads closer to 68 - 72% when kept in my other humidors using Boveda packs. So, I'm inclined to think that the hygrometer is not the problem!
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks
