Ok so here is my problem. My humi had an analog hygrometer and the readings were WAY off. I would look at it in passing and it was always in the 65-75% but I never opened it because I wasn't going to smoke. About 4 days ago I looked at it before going to bed and it read 72% woke up about 5 hours later and it read 59% when I opened it up it was as dry as can be. Ran to the B&M cigar lounge by me and they wiped it down told me keep my cigars out for about 24 hours then restock it. Also bought a digital while I was there.
Today it has been steadily dropping from 80% now down to 60%. Is this because the Cigars are pulling humidity from the air? Will it eventually even back out?
I have the jell beads with PG/Distilled water as my humidification. I know it's not the best but it's a small desk top glass top(I know those are harder then solid wood)!
Any advise would really help here!
