I haven't used this particular desktop humi in months--I ordered and put in Viper's 65% beads probably 6 days ago. The analog reads ~60%, but last year I used one of the Boveda 75.5% calibrations and marked off the 75% mark. According to the recalibrated analog, my humi is running around 45%.

So here's the money question--should I add a shot glass of distilled water, to try to bounce the RH up? Or was the calibration on the Boveda no longer accurate because I used the calibration during the summertime, and not the winter? And shouldn't my desktop humi, after about a week, be recharged and ready to go?
Thanks.
