Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
Never trust an analog hydrometer! My office humidor was reading 70% since I bought her several months ago. We had a herf after work yesterday and I gave one of buds an El Rey del Mundo La Flor de Llaneza and he told me thanks for the gift, but it is dry as the sahara desert. Holy S&^%, I had to empty my humidor and wipe her down with distilled water, refill my credo and return home for a digital hydrometer
 I will go in later today to check up on my humi. It might take a few months to get everything back to normal. Please share your experiences with an analog hydrometer failing. You would think after so many years with cigars I would have learned my lesson. Digital is the way to go.

Re: Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
Mine reads a constant 40% but the digital says 61-68%

Re: Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
I think an accurate analog hygrometer is like a unicorn.

 it's not balls on but it's ~2% off. Not horrible. I have another one that is ~15% off

Re: Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
I have 3 analgog hygros, and they all read something different. I have had enough, so I finally ordered a digital this week, but it hasn't arrived yet. As a general rule, I would not trust analogs.

Re: Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
my analog hygro in my 70RH bead humi is dead on at 70%... problem is it doesn't really move much. so the humi could be bone dry and it will still read in the 60's.

Re: Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
Since I have four humis it is important that you are always checking up on them.

Re: Never Trust an Analog Hydrometer
i don't pay those piece of $hit$ any mind. all i do is check my humidifier every week to see if it has dried out, and add a bit of h2o if necessary. those analogs will make you pull your hair out.(look at my pic, i ain't kiddin)
