What say you?

I too have an old French analog that has been regularly tested for 10 years now.......and always reads 3 or 4 over on salt tests.

Better and more consistent results than almost all of my digitals, many of which didn’t even last 10 years.

But I pretty much don’t even need hygros any more. Bovedas and beads.................done.

Yup. 👍

I use both in the Ziploc bags, humidors and coolers I use for storage and don’t have any issues. I fretted too much on the accuracy of the hygrometers and eventually got tired of all the constant worrying and testing.

No beads for me. Not paying some guy a 25,000% markup just for dumping a certain type of sand from a big bag (with his secret bulk supplier's name on it) into a little bag (with his middleman repackaging company's name on it). Not gonna happen.

Superabsorbent polymer beads (which YOU, not just gouging middlemen, can buy dirt cheap on Amazon) and Boveda packs for the win.

As for hygros, Western/Oasis Caliber IV all day long, and nothing else. Calibrate carefully with many readings averaged using a known-RH reference environment, and you're golden.

I have a cigar oasis in a coolidor, heartfelt beads, brevada packs and black ice. The cigar oasis works best as it also moves the air and I get consistent rh all over. Followed by heartfelt beads. Never go on the recommendations of the bead or brevada mfg always be testing with something that measures rh

Cheers

I've got a one of those small bluetooth govee's that I need to get calibrated and put to use. damn procrastination.

I'm running one of those too. Mine needed tweaked a little. It works great though, even out of the metal cabinet winador. =d>

That's what i'm talkin bout. Fuuck them snowflakes up.

U will need to answer some questions. 🇨🇮
