I'm having trouble getting Shilala beads calibrated

I have the fridge turned all the way down!... seems to be stable at about 62 degs far

Are you sure the hygrometer is calibrated correctly?
2% isn't much imho so 68-70 is good.

Yup!... used a boveda pack or whatever... calibrated to the 'T'

Have you tried taking out 1 of the bags?
Changing the amount of beads in the Edgstar will affect the overall RH desired.

Take out a bag!? But they should be calibrated at 65% RH and are supposed to TAKE OUT moisture from there air if the RH in the air is higher than the beads! I don't see how taking out the beads would help!??? I could see someone suggesting to get more beads, but as I said before, I already have a lot... should have plenty!! I also have all cedar Chasden drawers and a pretty full humi of cigars...

Are you sure there is nothing wet in your Edgstar?
I've found 1 box that was saturated due to placing it too close to the fan which kept my vino at a higher RH than desired.

Pretty sure... I did check for any condensation, etc., since I was very worried about this going in to 'turning on' the fridge. Nothing is 'wet'

Overall I would say run the Edgstar at a lower temp and your RH will drop.

Already as low as it will go! 62% Ambient temp, in my basement where the Edgestar is located, is only about 67% anyway...



I'm screwed.
