I purchased four hygro meters from Amazon.com and humidorvault.com.
- Little Havana Hygrometer ($22.59)
- Caliber III Digital Humidifier & Temperature Gauge ($19.99)
- HygroSet II Adjustable Round Digital Hygrometer ($20.00)
- Analog Style Digital Hygrometer ($36.95) from humidorvault.com
I got a decent sized double Ziploc bag and got a bottle cap from my Mott's Apple Juice container. I filled the bottle cap most of the way with Morton Ionized salt and added water so it barely pooled on top. I took a paper towel and stuck just a tip in the water until there was not any water floating on the top of the salt. I placed the cap of salt and water in the Ziploc bag with all 4 hygrometers at 1030pm last night. This morning at 745am, I checked the bag and recorded the readings. I recalibrated the hygrometers that had the feature - without opening the bag and waited 4 hours (lunch Break). Here are the readings.
- Little Havana Hygrometer ($22.59)
78% RH - 78.6 degrees F
not able to calibrate - same after 4 more hours.
- Caliber III Digital Humidifier & Temperature Gauge ($19.99)
76% RH - 78.3 degrees F
not able to calibrate - same after 4 hours
- HygroSet II Adjustable Round Digital Hygrometer ($20.00)
73% RH - 78 degrees F
After calibration 75% RH and 78 degrees F
- Analog Style Digital Hygrometer ($36.95) from humidorvault.com
77% RH - 80 degrees F
After Calibration 74% RH and 80 degrees F
I am not going to comments on the manufacturers, just simply post the readings I got.
Why did I buy 4 hygrometers? I have a 300+ count display humidor that is still curing. I plan to use the Analog Style digital hygrometer at the top to replace the crappy analog one that came with the humidor and place the Caliber III on the bottom shelf to get an overall reading for the cabinet. I want to place the HygroSet II in my small 50 count humidor and use the Little Havana for my carry case humidor (6 cigars).
Thank you,
