Vinotemp Humidity problem !! Neep help

This really is not that big a deal. You are over obsessing. Dry out the beads at the bottom a bit(maybe 50/50). Check the Hi/Lo Rh over a 24hour period. If the swing is 6-8% you will be fine. I prefer my smokes at 65% but that is a personal choice. Put a hygrometer inside a closed box and you will get a better idea of the actual Rh of you sticks. The Rh of the air inside the Vino will experience swings of up to 10% depending on the cycling of the unit.

He is correct.

I use 2 lbs of the same beads you are using and have not had a problem as it will stabilize out. Mine runs just under 70% and the cigars burn just fine. A lot of people like theirs at the 65% as their personal preference.

This is the odd part I dried out the beads both sets last night so I going to give it time to stabilze and see where they are at when I get home later. This morning they where at 76% RH on the bottom which is higher then it was before I dried the beads.

I prefer my cigars closer to 60% than 70%. I shoot for 62-65%. If you can get into the mid 60s, your cigars will be fine, they will not dry out, and will burn and draw better than they will at 70% or more. Just my

Yes the cigars that are in my vinotemp are going to be aged and put away for awhile. That is why I am trying to have the humidity at 70%RH. These are not my everyday cigars.
