I just make sure the 65% beads are moist.

Subtlety is kinda lost on you, isn't it? That kinda was the point of my long story.

Good Beads & Accurate Hygro then smoke more and worry less. Been there and it will drive you crazy and really not that big of a deal. Also, the more you play peek-a-boo with the hygro the worse the problem will be.

I am no expert for sure but been fooling around with the disease for a long time and seems that as long as you stay 60% - 70% no harm will be done. Ideally 65%-70% range is great, I try to keep it around 67% to allow for fluctuations. There will always be fluctuations of a couple of points no matter what system you use, especially if you are opening and peeking.

Again, expert idea - Smoke more and worry less!
