1) When you open your humidor, do you feel resistance from a vacuum seal,or does it open without any resistance? If no resistance, your seal is most likely bad and allowing humidity to escape.
This is pretty much where I am. I live in a desert climate and the humidity in the air is practically nil to begin with. I bought a humidor which I thought was a good one. Apparently not. I seasoned the humidor twice, and the humidity has never been above 55 percent in this humidor - and I only reached that with a bowl of distilled water inside the humidor. Once I removed the bowl and went to as jar of crystals, the humidity dropped to 45 percent. Putting a jigger of distilled water inside beside the jar only raised the humidity 2-3 points.

How do I re-seal this thing - or do I just need to junk it? The lid opens without resistance, so that is probably where my moisture is going.
