How big is this humidor? (a pic of the setup might help).There is no reason I can think of to refill a oasis every two weeks.
:tpd: and don't be afraid of using the period (.) key. That first post was tough to get through :2

I imagine the humidor is not the greatest at holding humidity but the oasis should be over powering any leaks. Really odd issue, I agree pictures of the humi might help out so we know what you're dealing with.

The only reason I would think that a oasis is being refilled every two weeks on a humi that size is there has to be a serious leak. In the picture the humi doesnt look to be very big and I would think an oasis would be overkill. I would figure a tube of beads would be more than enough.
I think the first thing to check is to make sure which of the hygrometers is wrong either the one on the oasis or the seperate one. Either way I think there has to be a leak in the humi itself to need to refill every 2 weeks.

Well, could be a 'gap' issue going on? If your not able to correct it, you may want to visit the following:

That's a beautiful humidor. Since it is so old I bet the seals are just giving out and its gapping. Looks like slight damage on the front right where the box closes. Maybe get some insulating foam strips and try to seal it better on the top and bottom so the strips meet when it closes. Not really sure how you could go about sealing a desktop, might get tricky. Shame to give up on such a nice humidor though.
:tpd:
I added some seal all around the inside and light a 1/2 cigar and droped in a ass tray and closed it i seen nothing and smelled nothing so it has to be tight now i hope
Thanks for all the replys
