Nurture Right 360 incubator is reading 82% humidity and its hatch day! HELP

[Coffetym]

I have read many comments about the humidity on multiple posts/forums. I recently purchased my first incubator, it is an Amazon special. A 24 egg Sailnova with the circular egg turner. It came with a small pump spray bottle & the instructions said to mist the eggs a certain amount per day & increase if I remember correctly to 3 times per day during lockdown. Is this correct? When I use this because of the fresh water the humidity spikes every time.
My first hatch I hatched 21 of 24 eggs. The second hatch was 15 of 24 so my success rate went down.

I am impressed. When looking at that incubator on Amazon it has a fakespot rating of F which takes the 4.5 star review rating down to half a star (0.5 stars). And you got a pretty great hatch rate the first time (88%) . Your second hatch was still 63%.

The photo for the Sailnova 24 egg incubator show a chamber A and a Chamber B so did you use those? You shouldn't have to spray if you use chamber A during the first 18 days. Right?

I'm engaging in incubator conversations because I have a NR 360 and had a 29% hatch rate with locally purchased eggs.

I can say I was totally shocked by the results of my first hatch. The only thing I did differently with the second hatch was that I did zero candling the second time. It does have an A & B chamber. The A chamber is a lot smaller (about 2.5” sq.
My humidity still seemed high just using the A chamber. I don’t have my notes with me right now but I believe it was running 50-70% humidity. The thing I don’t like is there is al alarm that sounds when the humidity drops below either 45 or 55%. So if I wanted to do a dry hatch I would have to either contend with the alarm or remove it.

I was happy with my NR 360 incubators, I hatched out 20 out of 21 fertile eggs, one I helped and it ended up dying, so I have 19 chicks.
I did the 100% dry hatch method, I never added one drop of water at any time.
