I recently began seasoning a humidor. In the past, I would gently wipe down the inside with a slightly moist, new sponge with distilled water. I would then place a shot glass with distilled water in the bottom. I would check it every 5 days (i used to check it every 5 hours with my first humidor). I have learned that getting neurotic about it was likely working against me and delaying the process. Typically, after 5 days, I would notice some of the distilled water absorbed.
With the recent seasoning, I have noticed that very little water has been absorbed. It's been over a week. Is this odd for a new humidor? To not see any or extremely little water missing from the shot glass has me wondering what is taking place? I don't want to wipe this one down as I've become more of an opponent of this tactic. Should I place a damp sponge on top of a plate or something in there as well? Is it possible that the humidor could be seasoned already?
I placed a hygrometer in there to get an idea of what the RH was but its still low. I'm not looking to rush it but would anyone recommend something else to season it? I plan on using Heartfelt beads with this humidor but they have not arrived yet.
I find it odd that the shot glass is still full. I'm not nervous just did things a little differently and seeing if I should do more. I'm not in a rush either but if this puppy is ready, I want to stock it.
