Starting to have issues with the Vino's RH lately....

I replaced the battery and I noticed that the display on the hygro is WAY brigher now. So maybe the low battery was lagging on the RH reading. So we will see.

Also to add this, I just smoked a stick that I have multiple of and it seems hard to draw from. Before it wasnt, but now I seem to be having an issue with it. So that does lead me to say the RH was off... Are these going to recover?

How long have you noticed the fluctuations? I have smoked 5 from the same box that all smoked a little different.

As bobarian said the sticks are most likely fine. If you are that worried about it I would try throwing them in a zip lock bag with the hygro to see what the sticks are reading as he also suggested. With it fluctuating so much i bet the rh of the sticks is right where you want them in the 63-67 range.

What is the rh like in the room of where the vino is? Mine is in the basement and the humidity got up to around 80% down there. the rh in my vino started to rise so i threw in a dehumidifier and that solved the problem.

Anthony, if your vinotemp is sitting on carpet, make sure she's totally level and stiffly supported. In time, the body will warp a little and the door seal wont touch. Sometimes you can adjust the hinge side to fix it, other times you just move it to a hard surface and it'll fix itself.
You can also use a couple pieces of duct tape to check it. You just put a couple pieces of tape on the front in a fashion that they'll go around the side. Close the door holding pressure on the door, and bring the tape around tight. Then leave it alone a couple days and watch for the RH to settle.

Ahh, I see you didn't have your drain plugged. There's your leak. Plug it up right, you need to anyways. Otherwise you'll forget.
