Hi!
First time to post here so hopefully I get some good insights into my problem...
I have a pound of Heartfelt beads (65%Rh) that I started using in my cooler-dor, and have it going with about 50% or less of the beads clear. My digital hygrometer which I calibrated today (reads 1~2% higher than it should using the Boveda kit) has been reading consistently 72% humidity for over a week now. I have cigar boxes in the coolerdor as humidity buffers (I started these from bone dry with the beads) and it's been at 72% rock steady.
This means that I am at pretty much 70% humidity with the calibration (take 2% from the reading).
My question is, should beads do this? I thought these things are pretty foolproof if I have excess beads than the volume they are rated for. I use a pound for a 48qt cooler.
Thanks for any pointers...
