i asked if i should plug it in now and this was Scott's response:

My suggestion would be to fill it back up, then leave it be a little bit more.
70 degrees is awesome for storing your cigars. If you want it a bit lower, You want to fire up that machine and keep it at it's highest setting, bringing it down a little bit a week.
It's gonna go crazy each time you bring it down, but it'll stabilize.

Now, here's a thing.
These thermoelectric coolers are only meant to bring down the inside temp 10-15 degrees below ambient.
If it's 85 in the house and it's set at 65, it'll run itself constantly and dump water all over your floor.
10-12 degrees below ambient is more realistic, in my experience.
So keep that in mind and make adjustments to your set-point as necessary come summer.
so i guess i will fill it up and see what happens. will give and update later this evening and see where the numbers are at.

Ya know, Jason, if you can sit stuff out where it'll chill before you put it in, it'll save a bunch of messing around.
I think you posted that it's like 59* out?

If you chill the sticks, it'll cause condensate to form on them when you put them in the winador.
Bad idea on my part.

if i had to guess Mac i would say the level was off, and caused a gap on the seal. it has been pretty steady so i think i got the problem fixed. i had to level the stand to the floor, then the wineador to the stand and right now everything is level with each other.

Heck yeah, Jason. Make sure to update, especially if things go south.
Odds are that you were right on the money about the unit being racked. They look sturdy, but they're far from it. If they're nice and level, no problem. Sitting on carpet is tough on them unless there's a sheet of plywood underneath them.

ok after a couple of days with the 65% HCM Beads and a wineador full of cigars, it looks like things have settled.

Ambient conditions are: 43% RH, 72*

Inside the wineador is: 62% RH, 72*

looks pretty good to me so far. Thanks again Scott

Bumping this with a update

It is still rock solid and holding steady at 62-64 RH and temp is a little high since the ambient temp since it is summer but it never gets above 68 degrees in side the wine cooler.

One word of advice.... Every so often change out the Vaseline and when you do it....change out the Vaseline completely. Do not try to add more to the seal, it only makes a BIG mess.
