I'm having trouble getting Shilala beads calibrated

This advice is good. It does take time to reach equilibrium.

If you are anxious to get the RH of your beads down for piece-of-mind then do so.

One round in the refrigerator is clearly not enough. I would look at getting the RH of the beads down to around 60-62% to compensate for the otherwise high RH in your humidor. Go through the process that I outline before (fridge-to-bag-to-humi and repeat until you get to your desired RH).

It does take time and patience to do this, I never meant to imply that this would be easy.

However, once your humidor has reached equilibrium at your desired RH, you will be very happy.

There are a lot of people out there with Shilala's beads in their Vino's and Edgestars that are very happy with how their cigars are being kept.
