Attention Avanti Thermo Electric Cooler Owners!

This is typical of any thermoelectric wine cooler. How full is the cooler? Put a hygrometer inside a box and take a high/low reading, this will give you a better idea of the actual rh of your sticks. As the unit cycles rh will drop, then come back up. If you are using beads there should be no problem with long term storage.

Being full should help. You will still get swings in RH but it shouldn't be too drastic (as is your case). Is there any way you can check the seal of the unit? Sometimes the corners won't align right and you'll have a bit of space. You can fix that by re-aligning the door with the pivot brackets.

you can check it at night by throwing a light/battery lantern or flashlight inside then closing the door. Turn off all the lights and check all around the rubber seal for light coming through.
