Dont think there would be a problem, it is only about a month old and it salted tested right on 75%.

If your sure your humi has a good seal and the hygrometer is reading correct then it may be that your humi needs seasoned better. Or if it's just been filled with cigars (in the last month) they may be in need of hydrating? Either way, in time it should stabilize so just wait a few more weeks and see what happens.

I use a combo of gel and beads. When I do rehydrate it is very seldom and I just charge the gel.

I was thinking that maybe i didnt season it long enough. Hopefully that is what it is. It isnt really even a problem i dont mind re-hydrating the beads, i just think i have to do it more often than i should. When they are hydrated the humi is at a rock solid 65% rh

I would chalk it up to seasoning. I have more beads then are called for, but I only hydrate my beads every four to six weeks, even during the winter months.
