  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I am surprised that new boxes of cigars could pull your RH that low. If the boxes were that dried out, I'd be worried that the cigars in those boxes had been completely dried out too. I try to keep my cc and nc at around 65% and around 63 F. IIRC the recommendation that comes with CC is to keep the temp between 16C-18C and 65%-70% RH, though 70% seems kind of high.
Take a look at this YouTube from Boveda. They discuss humidity control with the guy who runs their lab.

Fingers crossed, I think I got it sorted out. Been rocking 67% for 3 days now. I did a better job at sealing the drain plug and no longer have a flat cable (usb power) running between the unit and the seal. Right now all I’ve got in it is a dish of water and 1.5lbs of KL.
