When I first tested one it said it was 7 off, but it didn't make sense when I had it in with another one. I pulled the batteries and tested it again and it has been 4 off since.

I have a pair of them and they're off a collective 16 points. I threw one away that was off 13 points. The cool thing about them is that they changed every time I tested them. I just saw them the other night in the bottom of a box. That's where they've lived for a long time now.
I figure if I'm gonna spend thousands on the best cigars I can find, I can spill the extra 15 bucks for a good, calibratable hygrometer/thermometer.
Notice that I tried to cheap out three times before I learned my lesson.

Mine is slowly coming up.. at 61 right now.. after only 9 hours.

CigarSquid · 09-21-2011, 08:38 PM

Still at 61, I think I may just return it and fork out a few extra bucks for the same kind in my humi. Humi-Care!

Mine reads high by three

Being able to calibrate is a nice feature, but these are so cheap to be tempting if you can find one that is close.

I just write the +/- on it with a pen or a piece of tape

Mine is now at 64.. Not sure how long I should wait. I know normally you do it for 24 hours. I seen someone said they left it for 48.. Maybe I will give it till saturday.. See by then.

I would recomend removing the batteries, put them back in and put it back in the container for 24 hours.

CigarSquid · 09-22-2011, 06:56 AM

DONE. See how it looks tomorrow AM

CigarSquid · 09-23-2011, 07:17 AM

Did not work. Will return it and buy one like I already have in the humi.
