Tried sphagnum moss vs coco coir for humidity in my closed terrariums

I built two identical 5-gallon jar terrariums 2 months ago, one with a sphagnum moss layer and one with coco coir. The sphagnum moss one stays at 85% humidity without misting while the coco coir one drops to 60% every couple days. Has anyone else noticed a big difference between these two for keeping moisture consistent?

Damn that's a pretty big difference. Solid data for anyone trying to decide between the two though.

Gently disagree with @ruby_lane, the data's messy cause coco coir varies a ton by brand.
