I have a glass top savoy most people say the glass tops don't hold the humidity to good but I'm actually the opposite its reading at 72 on the left side and 75 on the right side were the puck is is that to high I tried to keep the top open for an hour but it goes right back to 75 should I take the puck out I just don't want to fluctuate to much by taking it out and back in going from 65 to 75 I heard that's the worst thing you can do for the cigars help please

Start by calibrating your hygrometer.

Next - it may be a good idea to invest in some beads - they absord excess humidity.
Yeah, beads are the way to go. I've got a glass top and the rh is holding steady at 65%. And don't worry too much about the fluctuation. If it goes down to around 65% and you keep it that way (again, with beads), the change won't hurt your sticks.
Agree get some beads.
Yes for beads. and your humi seesm fine, nothig wrong with Savoy. I know you have a digital, but one of mine read 4% low and one 4% high. USing a calibration kit, or the salt test you can see if yours are off. I just know that when the one say 58% it acctuallt 62% and so on. Boveda sells a kit, Cigarsolutions sells a Hygro that can be calibrated, that come with a kit for about $25. Well worth it. Also nothing wrong with having 2 hygros. You can try the Salt test (google it) but you are not in a lab, so getting exact readings will be...i don't know...up in the air
THat doesn't mean it's properly calibrated, or you know how much over or under the reading is off of reality.
Unless the instructions that came with your hygrometer explicitly say not to, do a search on "Salt test" and follow the instructions.

Wow.... you must have failed English.
To your problem- what the other guys have said sounds good. Calibrate your hygrometers and dish the disc, get beads. www.heartfeltindustries.com
