Distilled water or Xikar

[Bulldog1862]

Rob I am asking a legit question. Some of the So called experts here state they only use Distilled water some call for the 70% solution. My question is what should a Hygrometer read when you use distilled water in your humidor whether you use beads foam or what ever the humidification unit came or you bought for it.

I'm not sure who you are referring to when you mention "so called experts here". I've been around here a while and I don't believe anyone here is an expert.

The hygrometer should read whatever the regulating media is "set" for. The distilled water has nothing to do with it. If you are using 65% beads, your RH should stabilize at 65%. Using just a foam puck will not stabilize the RH at any particular RH. A 70% PG solution should stabilize RH at 70%
