Humidor Advice

So I recently got into the cigar world (which I am enjoying very much) and purchased a larger humidor because I knew my collection would eventually grow.
I have a 100 cigar humidor (The Prestige) that currently has 34 cigars in it, and my humidification system is two gel jars (something like these). I thought that two jars like that would be good enough to keep the humidity around 65% but it keeps on dropping. I properly seasoned it by wiping the sides with distilled water and left a shallow dish of distilled water in the humidor for 4 days but the humidity keeps on dropping. Is my humidor defective or do I need a better humidification system?

Can do, I'll do the salt test and see how far it might be off. It is digital so it shouldn't be more than 2-4%. see, I didn't like using the sponge since P/G is so hard to find around here, so I just used the 2 jars. Can that work? They are both supposed to give off around 70% so it seems like they might not be working the best. And I never used anything but distilled.
Also, just a tip, try cutting up some apples into quarters or eighths and putting them in there, or a shot of makers mark, brandy, or good bourbon. It'll add to the flavor.
