Is it normal to drop that much.

I guess if two weeks isnt long enough, someone should change the sticky on seasoning humis.

Yes it can be normal. You are taking out the moisture source which is saturating the air.

The RH will drop. The thing to measure is how far it drops and for how long. If it drops 5-10% and holds steady after that then things are pretty good. If it continues to drop then you probably have a leak.

I put in beads after I take the water out and it just dries the beads up within 2 days.

It seems like its not seasoned but It's been 14 days and It just seems like It hasn't made any progress.

For what it's worth, I've noticed that with the extremely dry winter we're having this year I've had to double the bead capacity and rehydrate them much more often than usual.
