My suggestion would be to fill it back up, then leave it be a little bit more.
70 degrees is awesome for storing your cigars. If you want it a bit lower, You want to fire up that machine and keep it at it's highest setting, bringing it down a little bit a week.
It's gonna go crazy each time you bring it down, but it'll stabilize.
Now, here's a thing.
These thermoelectric coolers are only meant to bring down the inside temp 10-15 degrees below ambient.
If it's 85 in the house and it's set at 65, it'll run itself constantly and dump water all over your floor.
10-12 degrees below ambient is more realistic, in my experience.
So keep that in mind and make adjustments to your set-point as necessary come summer.
