Vikder,
If a humidor is left undisturbed & the fan doesn't come on, the RH will eventually stratify with the highest RH at the bottom--at least in cabinet humidors.

In desk tops I have always taken a bit more liberty in positioning the CO depending on height of the humidor & numbers of trays.

I generally build a mount to position the CO directly under the top tray with a circular opening in the tray to ensure good intake & a clear space between trays for output. If the top tray is undersized at bit, it seems to work fairly uniformly.

Not sure it makes any difference-above or below. If the trays have good airspace around them, things should end up within a point or so.

If they are too snug a fit, you may need to leave some open space or add a bit of supplimental humidification on the dry side.

Cheers,

Bob Staebell
