You can see it from across the room. White almost dust looking crystals with even distribution = plume.

I have never ran into this. Although I can see it happening. I went into a liquor store once with a stand up humi. I thought I would grab a cigar for the evening. I stuck my hand it and they were literally wet like sponges. I told the clerk and he seemed to think thats how they were suppose to be. I just left disgusted.
