Same thing happened to me. I have a Bally II, and I think the cheap plastic hygrometer embedded in the wood is the source for much leakage, especially in the winter. My RH dropped to 57%, so I took out the shilala beads, put them in a ziploc w/ my digital hygro & a folded papertowel soaked with distilled water. Let it all sit overnight, took out the papertowel, let the beads sit and now they're back at 67% which is perfect for me.

I have a love/hate relationship with my humidor. I mostly hate it 7 months out of the year. gl with yours!
