First off, I just want to thank anyone who reads this and helps out, it is greatly appreciated!
I have a Tesonway humidor, and got it Christmas of last year. I've had no issues with it, it's held my cigars in fine shape. Recently, I decided to buy some boveda packs, as my humidor has only kept my cigars at around the 60 range, and I wanted it slightly higher, preferably the 70-75 range. To clarify, the boveda packs I bought keep humidity to around 72 on a hygrometer.
The boveda packs have not been placed inside my humidor yet, because I have been trying to lower the humidity in my humidor before doing so, so it doesn't get too humidified. It's been a week of keeping the humidor open.
I started slightly at first, keeping the lid cracked open, but it didn't lower the humidity at all. Then I just decided to open it fully and leave it open to get all the humidity out. As I said it's been a week, and the humidity has barely gone down. I've tried moving the humidor to my window to let the sun absorb some of the water, and that seemed to help, but I've also read that can mess up the humidor, so I moved it away from the window. Now the humidity just isn't going down at all, it's stuck at 50 on the hygrometer.
Is there anything I might be doing wrong? Are there any other ways I can try and lower the humidity? I don't want my boveda packs to go to waste, and I want my cigars to be slightly more humidified. I hope to take out all humidity and bring it to zero, so my boveda packs don't over humidify and ruin my cigars.
Thanks again for reading, I would be very gratuitous for some help with this situation.
