Re: Digital hygrometers

Western Caliber III times two for me. I also use a Oregon Sceitific wireless remote temperature/hygrometer in the humidor, that I check on with my weather station.

Same here. Mine's off by 7 and I thought there might be something wrong with it. But if you got the same thing then I don't feel too bad. Still- thta seems a bit much. I wish I could calibrate it.

Yea, $6.50 each is a good deal. I have two, and one is off by 5% and another by -1%, using independent salt tests.

I put both in the same space, and using the aformentioned add/subtract, they are dead on, no variances between both hygrometers, aside from the initial settings. In addition, the temperatures were different by less than .5 of a degree.

For the money, they can't be beat. And I took off the little clip on the back to get the depth down, and they fit like a glove.


Note: do not apply powerful magnets to the backs of the units. I ordered small, penny sized neodymium magnets, to fasten these onto the humidor. I wasn't exactly thinking but i immediately saw the humidity change once i fastened the magnet to the back. I was nervous that i messed up this little thing, as it went up several percentage points. With this unit, initially, it was dead on at 75% with salt test. Now it's 5% off. It is still accurate, as I have mentioned above.

Re: Digital hygrometers

I have two Western Caliber III's and a Radio Shack in my 120 qt cooler. Amazingly they all read the same! I used to have 3 humidors. Now I just use the cooler with all 3 hygros in it - definitely the way to go!

I hear ya man. I was disappointed after I tested it....did it a couple times just to make sure. Oh well, im over it. The shape/size is perfect....helps keep the "flow" of my box.
