Calibration of hygrometer

[MagicDrop]

I have a small humidor and small budget to match it lol. But I think I can get the 2oz HMC beads and that would work for me. I did notice it says it's preset at 65% but I think I would want to raise it to 70%.

And why would that be? I've heard some say 70 degrees/70 %RH is ideal. I think that's hokum.

I suggest using them at the pre-set 65% RH and see how your cigars smoke. If you then find you prefer them at a higher RH, you can adjust them then.
