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.
You may want to try using some weather strips to line the lid of the humidor to give it a tighter seal.. other than that if you have a cooledor or a vinotemp you're using to store your cigars you could always toss it in there.
