My cigar goodies came in from CI a few days ago. I moistened the inside of the humidor like I saw in the CI video, and kept the lid closed for 24 hours. The built in hygrometer was at 70%, so I tossed in the humidification stick and closed the lid.

6 hours later, the hygrometer was reading at about 50%, so I threw in an old humistick. Another six hours (and two humidifiers later) it's now reading about 55%.

Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong? Any ideas on how to get it to 70%? I thought about trying to charge the hygrometer, but it's build into the humidor and I can't figure out how to remove it.
