Thank you. I feel like I have too much FAE - and not enough humidity in my chamber. I don't have a hygrometer - but I FEEL like my RH is too low because of the room it is in. (Low RH to begin with because of where I live).
I think I will attempt the re-dunk and re-fruit and then if I have the same problem again I will wait on the 48 quart sized jars of WBS I have incubating right now....

It can ruin humidity as well as other variables in a SGFC! -You really can't... "ruin" humidity in a SGFC just by opening the lid. We have to get to know OP's grow to truly give him adequate information! Agreed but if he follows the basic instructions surrounding the SGFC, that leaves little to the imagination.
Too much FAE is not a thing that happens and if it somehow was, what you would have is too much wind, not too much FAE. Dryness in the outer environment triggers the evaporation in the SGFC which is what forms the humidity in there in the first place. So that won't factor in. All that factors in is not having a fan running and having the SGFC in the middle of a medium sized room.
If there were such thing as too much FAE, this wouldn't be a thing:

I've pulled off a couple open air grows myself. Not great, but they worked.

I'm sure in all your SGFC's you had the lid open to invite all that FAE right?
And when you did open up that lid - you didn't cause any other variables to go bad right?
What if OP has a fan blowing right on his chamber 24/7?
What if OP has his chamber outside on a porch?

mushrooms can be grown in open air without a fruiting chamber. you literally can't get more FAE than that. Growing Without A Fruiting Chamber
so idk what you are going on about. taping holes is bad advice. misting more often, dunking between flushes, and hydrating your perlite are all correct ways to fix the drying cake problem. never, should you fuck with the design of the SGFC.

Taping holes in a SGFC limits air flow and actually causes it to dry out. If you live in a dry climate then you will probably want to mist a bit more and be sure that the chamber is functioning well by keeping the bottom holes clear with a pencil and away from walls.

Look, it's simple, plugging holes in the SGFC makes it not work as well. Before you plug holes, turn off all your fans, mist more heavily each time, try bottom watering, anything but cripple the fruiting chamber.

Morty422's post does seem viable. Everything is set up to a "T" but that A/C in the adjacent room might be fudging up my room's RH levels. I will attempt Another fruit with the newly dunked cakes and see what goes down....

Unless OP has a fan the SGFC can't have too much FAE. Sorry. If it's dry (low humid environment) then that's why he mists more but that doesn't mean it has too much FAE. AC in an adjacent room wouldn't mess up the humidity that bad in your fruiting room inside your fruiting chamber.

Try misting the cakes directly, not the chamber. You're watering the mushrooms, not the unicorns.

I'm having a similar dilemma.. my cakes came out nice however they've taken longer than a week and a half to pin. Now that they are fruiting, somewhat...I'm finding that the cakes are dehydrated. I'm a little weary of dunking them again because I don't want to kill what pins are poking through. Any suggestions? Much appreciated & thanks for your time Be at one

Mist them when they're looking dry. Not soaking, but try to keep them glistening at all times and make sure you have good fresh air exchange.

Ok, thank you. will do. Does it matter if there is or isn't a verm casing layer? In my attempt to re hydrate i ran them under water and subsequently eliminated the casing layer

The verm layer is pretty extraordinarily important for cakes. Without the verm layer they'll dry up quickly, be less likely to form any kind of a good pinset, and may in the end be slightly more prone to contamination due to the consistent drying out.

Would you suggest a re-roll?

Not unless you want to give all the contams on it the perfect environment to grow and flourish.
I've read a few veteran growers say not to re-roll your cakes. Inocuole was one of them. I'll try to find the post.

Right on. Came home from work today and its pin-city. Excited but also discouraged due to the issue im having. There was not much F.A.E today either, seeing how i worked a long shift. I wonder if perhaps the SGFC's holes provide enough F.A.E already.. I'll attach a few pics so you all can see the set up. Thank you for your advice. Growing mystery fat-ass via Ralphster b.t.w

Those are okay man you don't want to re-roll anything. The holes in the SGFC provide all the FAE.
