Wow, now I feel retarded, my first set of PF jars are 20 days old. I thought you had to leave the tin-foil on. Just removed it today, and it looks like some of the verm on top is a little wet. I hope they don't all contam. They are covered with about 95% mycelium so far.

I wouldn't feel dumb at all! You just said that was your first set... I can't count how many times I've done this and I'm STILL leaving the tinfoil on! But in my defense, there was a website I took some notes from when I was just starting, and the person on that site said it didn't matter if you left it on or not, so I've always done it that way, thinking it was extra protection for the mycelium. You learn something new every day!
Oh, and I think your cakes are going to be just fine if they made it that far without contaminating.

Some people dont have problems, i have always left the foil on, but left in on loosely just incase something drops its way in.
I do remember though that 1 jar when i opened it had a small ball of green mould in the verm layer, im guessing the perlite got damp and alloud a little to germinate, the cake was fine though and got 2 nice flushes from it.
Make sure that u clean all the verm layer of your cake.
Next time im gonna leave the tinfoil off
