Re: $6.78 Walmart Digital Hygrometer

One of mine is dead nuts and the other is +6. Not a big deal, as long as they are consistant (which they are...always the same amount of % off from each other).

Re: $6.78 Walmart Digital Hygrometer

My WM reads -3%. Salt tested it for 24 hrs in a sealed container similar to tupperware.

Re: $6.78 Walmart Digital Hygrometer

I have three of them, all of them are slightly modded (Added extra holes for air flow and flattened back side to make it easier to mount.)

They are all 1% off from one another after drilling the holes. Overall im pretty happy with them.

Re: $6.78 Walmart Digital Hygrometer

I picked one of these up the other day for just under $6. It is small enough for a desktop humidor and spot on for humidity (salt tested). The temp read 1 degree high based on a comparison to three other thermometers.

Re: $6.78 Walmart Digital Hygrometer

I've got two. One reads 1 RH degree higher than my western hygrometer, the other reads 1 RH degree lower. They are spot on for temperature.

The only thing is they take longer to register accurately. The western will tell you RH and Temp in a couple minutes. The Wally worlds take some time longer - how long I can't really say. I move them around once a week to make sure they are still accurate. I put them in with the western, come back 23 hours later to check. Everything is OK they go back to the coolers.

Look in the lighting section. They tend to be near things like light swtich covers and light bulbs in MA.

Man this thread will never die!!! My Hygros are still going strong!!! No complaints after several months!!! I may try the extra holes. One of mine is a little slow to react. But for the money, they are OK.

Exactly where did you drill the holes? Around the outside of the piece, in the middle? And how large in diameter are the holes you drilled?

Thanks

Re: $6.78 Walmart Digital Hygrometer

I have three of them as well, and they are all accurate to 2% RH, which is all I really need. I'm going to get two more in another week, I can get extras if needed.

On the back side, around the outside. I used 1/4 for the big holes and 1/8 for the smaller ones.

Here is a pic.

I did an entire writeup on building a coolidor at Stogie Review. The rest of the pictures are there if you need them.
