Bizarre Coolerdor Issue

[BigCubano]

Hey BOTLs,

I've been using my coolerdor for years now (since learning how to set one up when I first registered on here) and I've never had a problem keeping the humidity perfect without much effort. That was in LA. Now I'm in Las Vegas and I can't seem to get this down. I couldn't get my humidity to my normal 65-70 with the small jar of gel crystals I always used. So I got Heartfelt beads (1lb) and took the gel crystals out. That got my humidity up to about 45. I put the gel crystals back in with the Heartfelts and got the humidity up to 61 to 63 (I have two hygrometers that are 2% apart in readings).

This would leave me to believe that the cigars in there are smokable but a bit dry. I pick some up and they are MUSHY....super mushy, like they're waaaay too humid. I just don't get it. The guy at the local B&M was just as confused as I was when I asked him about it. You wise FOGs on here have any insight into my issue? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.
