Seasoning question -- different from the usual...

[AdamJoshua]

Just curious did you wipe or vacuum out the humi before setting it up to season, could it be some kind of light dust or something in the box that when the lid gets closed "dropped" that some kind of debris falls and you only see it in the water not the bottom of the box?

Oh and you might want to look into beads over the boli paks, much more versatile as far as setting the RH you want, they last basically forever, no need to replace them every couple of months and several other reasons, you can find the link to them on CigarNut's sig line.

Good question -- I didn't. And come to think of it, I did (once) do the "drop the lid" test as someone mentioned to see if I got the "whoosh" of a good seal versus the "wooden clang" from a crappy one. (Luckily, I got the whoosh. And now that I've typed that, it doesn't look/sound quite right.)

I thought about the beads, and will most likely order them -- unfortunately I have to wait a few days to spring for them, so the Humidipaks I've got are just for interim usage until then.
