I'm having a hell of a time keeping the humidty in my humi above 60%. I have a 50ct humi w/a standard disk type of humidifier. I also added a water pillow thinking that would help but it hasn't. Next, I dampened a sponge w/distilled water and put in a ziplock (open) and that has doesn't squat.

I checked the seal of the humi by placing a small flashlight inside and looking for light escaping. The seal is tight.

When I first bought the humi, I wiped the insides w/distilled water and used charging solution on the disk humidifier. This is starting to become a chore as I'm checking the humididty daily. One last thing - I have a digital hygrometer and have compared it to my calibrated analog one so I know it's accurate. Apreciate any help!

I'm guessing the wood is still absorbing a lot of water ...

The best thing, IMO, is to put your cigars in a temporary humi ... 50 is an easily managed quantity in zip-locks with one of those slightly dampened sponges in a sandwich bag or some other temp humidification devise ...

Put an open bowl full of regular water in your humidor, then close the lid and leave it closed for at least a week, preferably 2 or even more ... then, if it were me, I'd 86 the OEM humidification thing and make my own ... I'd suggest a small container with climmax media in it than you'd ONLY add distilled water to ... you could also put wet florist foam in a little water-tight container that is larger than the OEM unit, initially charged with 50/50, then add distilled water periodically as needed ...
