Wtf?!

[Brimy]

So I've had my Treasure Dome for the past 2 yrs. It's been dowing pretty good. But about a month ago I started losing rH, the Boveda paks dried up & the Heartfelt beads white.

So I said to myself "maybe I need to reseason it".



I'm living out of Tupperware.

Since Feb 9th I've had DW in the above setup but the rH is not holding. Hygrometer is reading 58%.
I am checking the calibration on the hygrometer after changing the battery. I have no idea what could have happened.

Maybe try the Boveda seasoning packs?

Likely this will not be something you've not already done.
But, have you checked the corners at the bottom of the Humidor?

I found that a bead of Aquarium grade silicon around the edges of the bottom on the outside of course help in a big way.

You still have the boveda and the beads in there with the DW? They look pretty dry and I would assume be taking in the humidity from the water before anything else. Recharging boveda that way in a sealed ziploc takes a while doing it in a humidor with the slightest leak would taken even longer if it happens at all.

I would recharge media seperatly and re-season the humidor with just DW.

Brian, how often were your Boveda and beads needing recharged?

Worth a try! Thx.

Didn't even think of it since it was holding good and I've only moved it maybe twice. But definitely going to check now.

Can't Hurt! Thx

The weird thing is that I just put the boveda in there about a week ago and the 65% paks (~4 of them) charged fine. They are nice & plump, squishy. But everything else is dry, the 1/2 lb of 70% beads and a few 69% paks. I'll get them out of there and see.

Brian, how often were your Boveda and beads needing recharged?

Once every 60 days.

Your 65's are probably pulling the moisture out of the higher RH stuff.

Got Ya!
I'm gonna pull everything out and try again. Plus look for any other possible leaks.

Worth a shot at least. I had a small 72 boveda that came in order. I tossed in a zip lock with couple 65's that I needed to recharge, they sucked that 72 dry.
