About a month ago I purchased a 1oz tube of the 70% beads from Heartfelt for my 75 count humi. I contacted Heartfelt directly and gave them the dimensions of my humi, they suggested the 1 oz tube. I placed it in the box according to what they told and they levels get to 70% and stay there for about 5 days then drop back down to the 65% range.

I checked the box for leaks - none
I calibrated both of my electronic hygrometers - they are spot on
I open the box once a day to get out one cigar.
It has been in the same spot in my house for 5 years and I never had this problem before

I am at a total loss as to why I am still having problems.

Any ideas or suggestions?

70 is too high. 65 is better.

They could have mixed up the beads. But I prefer 65% to 70% anyway. Consider yourself lucky.

Everyone agrees 65% is whare you want to be

And on top of that, if you're opening it almost everyday, that's not going to help keep in extra moisture. But again, 65% is fine
