So, I have a wineador with 69% boveda packs in it and am having trouble getting the rh down to 69. Dang thing is at about 74%.
Any suggestions?
I have 5 packs in this 16 bottle unit.
thank you Wade.

Thermo electric wineadors  throw out humidity when they run that's why they can be tricky to operate.  Been hot lately so I assume its been running more than usual.  I would take out the humidity packs and see what happens.  You could also get kitty litter and put a bunch of it in there dry and see if it absorbs any excess moisture.

I'd go with beads, cat litter absorbs but does not give off humidity when needed, that's why they make it for cats to piss in.

What I meant is the unscented kitty litter crystals.  Made of silica sand just like the Humidity beads.  Sorry for any confusion.

I keep a sock in my pants full of the unscented Kitty litter. It stops the chafing, and also impresses the ladies. ;D

Brother, I dont mean to be a stick in the mud here but this is 200% untrue and 180 degrees out. When any cooler runs, thermo electric or not, they create condensation which removes moisture from the air and causes the RH to plummet.

@ OP is this thing empty? If so you are wasting your time trying to regulate the RH of plastic and 2 CUFT of air.
