Now as for checking out your humidor, you can check the seal with the dollar bill test. You can google it but basically close the lid on a dollar bill and it should have resistance to pulling it out. Check all four sides.
Now I am a bit puzzled on your humidity element. Boveda has a lot of products but if your using a pack, you might want to consider something like this:

Which is the small humidifier.
One of the benefits to the beads is if they go dry quickly, it's another check that your humidor is dry and quickly is going to be subjective but you shouldn't have to recharge it but once every two weeks.
Finally, and this is imporrtant, the less air you have to provide humidity for, the easier it is to stay consistent so hit up cigar bid and curse my name forever more. |
I disagree with this -- a little -- all humidification devices require some air flow to be effective. If your the RH in your humidor is good and you don't mess with it (add or remove cigars, or open it up much) then less air flow is OK. However, if your RH is not where you want it, or you add and remove cigars frequently, then some air flow will help your humidor stabilize more quickly.
Also, the larger the humidor, the more air flow you need.
