any of you know why my diamond crown hygro sucks so much (6%rh OFF) the cheap analog that came with the humidor is far more accurate. Stupid piece of crap .....

Well, may have to look into getting a Western then. THanks for letting me know. Think I might try to find one

I have the 12 Wal-Mart version. It reads both temp and humidity. I think that because of my expanding collection I am going to go give the RadioShack line a try. At least if I do that I can take it back, and I don't have to send it to the store.

RadioShack discontinued their's last I checked. I have a RS one though in my Small Humi and it works well- .5% off.

I bought a little havana and I love it. I use it primarily in my cigar caddies but it sits in a full-sized humi between trips. With the salt test is is off by about +0.5%. I also love the magnet instead of velcro.
