Starts with wiping the wood down generously with a cloth wet with distilled water.
This was my mistake the first time. I read the enclosed instructions as to be conservative with the wiping, so I didn’t really season the wood enough. I watched some vids and saw people using dish sponge and being generous with the water (but not saturating the wood), and it made a difference. Holding a steady 68 now. I expect to maintain in the 65 range once the wood and humidity reach homeostasis.

Personally speaking, I've always had bad luck with humidors that have display glass. Even with boveda packs, always tough. Also, I see your current humidor has a built in analog hygrometer....that thing is essentially worthless. Looks like your new one has a built-in digital, which is better, but make sure you calibrate it instead of over-humidifying your humidor giving you a bunch of wet, mold infested cigars.
