I can't seem to get my new humidor to stay at 70% humidity as soon as i add in my cigars the humidity level drops to 60%, how do i fix this?

@codjunkie3 There are so many variables to take into account, how good is the seal, how many times have you opened it, how hot/cold/dry is your area, etc.

@drunkenhazernut negative, never ever wipe the inside of a humidor down. You will increase your chances of the wood warping about 1000%. Better to let the wood naturally get acclimated to higher humidity levels.

Make sure it is mold, and not bloom first of all.

Thank you so much for making this vid. Distilled water will work for it? or should i eventually get a bottle of activator solution ?

@cheaphumidors and how is there going to be a higher humidity level if you're adding it to the wood?

@Lvduggo69 make sure you DO NOT use the gel again. Gels for humidors is really crappy and would give you a higher chance of getting molded cigars. make sure you wipe the inside of the humidor with distilled water-damped cloth every 2 weeks and it should be fine. Anyway, throw those molded cigars away. They're dead. Let's have a moment of respect for those.
