Humidor help - jam - 09-18-2017

i have a big unit 2 glass doors with a cigar oasis on 
Bottom and I cannot get the temp down the humidity is perfect 
I have 4 fans in there and can't get it down below 75 degree 
Do you guys know any tricks my hydrometer say 72 but digital part of magna says 75 

Thanks

A couple of questions:
What is the temperature of the room that it's in?
Is it next to anything that can generate heat?


Any pics?  I also have CO Magna.  How did you set up the fans?


RE: Humidor help - jam - 09-18-2017

Room is 68 ac on I only use 2 oust fan and 2 other fans closed all shades
Nothing in dining room that can give off heat

With no other heat source, no sun shinning on it, I'd have to go with that the thermometer reading is wrong. 

Do you have any other hygrometers or thermometers that you can put in to check?


I have a tower, with the CO magma in the bottom, with 2 fans. 
I keep 4 other small hygrometers in it, as well.  I salt test them about every 6 moths or so.

Since Photobucket went nuts, I upload the pics directly to the post, using the Attachment options underneath the reply section. 

But I'm doing it from a PC, not a phone.

My hygrometer are reading 72 even that high


RE: Humidor help - Tonto - 09-19-2017

with the room A/C set at 68° & no other heat source near the humidor, I'd say the calibration of the thermometer was off.

I'd salt test the hygrometers to see how much & also get a couple of small thermometers to put in as well.  If they all show the higher temp, there must be another heat source or.... Perhaps the the A/C thermometer is actually off & the temp reading in the humidor is correct?


RE: Humidor help - jam - 09-19-2017

I know ac is set to 68 inside humidor is 72 now I test all hygrometer
With a 75 boveda bag and adjust to 75 then put it back in ziplock with boveda
Again to make sure at 75 I am gonna get a good thermostate I don't see no other heat source maybe it's to tight I doubt that
Thanks
