Do you have beads in it? Personally I use a mixture of distilled water and propylene glycol....do a mixture of 50/50 and fill the humification device, keeps humidity levels perfect for me and the PG only needs to be recharged every 6 months...PG can be bought from pharmacy.

I live in dry ass So Cal and have never re-seasoned.

I've never re-seasoned.

I am having the same problem right now.

Never gotta re-season if you keep the humidification device charged. If it's struggling to maintain RH, your seal is probably the problem; you could compensate by adding more humidification (like beads or such), or creating a better seal

I've never re-seasoned, and haven't had reason to.

If done properly the first time, and a good seal is maintained, you should never have to re-season. Just keep the humidifyer charged and you're good.

Yep. It doesn't really make sense to reseason a humidor unless it gets dried out. If you're having a hard time with your rH, there are several possible problems:
1. Seal
2. Not enough humidification/beads for the winter
3. Hygrometer is not reading properly

All of these possibilities are relatively easy to deal with. You just gotta figure out which one it is.

+1. Only time I've reseasoned is my first humi, and only because I effed it up the first time.

I haven't as of yet.

I have never reseasoned. I use beads in mine. Just recharge them about once a month or so.

I have never reseasoned.

Thus far I've had not had to recharge my humi. I gave it a good charge time in the seasoning process.

I've been using the Drymistat Humiditube and I modified my Humidifier by taking out the floral sponge and adding the Drymistat beads into it after they were full charged. This was only to save space since the tubes sit with the Cigars. So I have one sitting with the cigars which I rotate around from time to time and two (the beads) in the Humidifier. Thus far my levels are on point without any issue.

When I need to reintroduce dist water to the tubes I use a dropper and put equal amounts into the Humidifier that was modified so I know I can get the best amount needed. (they have a gauge as to when to fill them and how much water to add.)

I'd imagine these are the same "beads" just in a compact tube. Whatever the case, I've been happy and more importantly my Humidor is happy!
