1. Noob and hasn't tried the salt test

2. Likes the packets

What say you, what method besides money do u prefer and trust?

My doctor did my yearly calibration but I'm not sure what method it is called.But he likes to talk about baseball when he does it...LOL!!

If he did I wouldn't admit it[-( 🤐 🤐

but that's just me. I'm guessing not everyone has access to one

If you take a look at more scientific articles on the salt test, some criticize the salt test's reliability. May be they are right, maybe they are wrong. This may be one reason. Another reason is that calibration packets are likely presumed by consumers to be more accurate than "just some plain old table-salt and water. I happen to prefer using a 65% Boveda in my 20-ct herf box. When it needs to be replaced, I buy another one for $4. It first gets used to calibrate my hygro and then goes in to my herf box to replace the one that has dried out.

🤣 ....excellent!.....love starting a Friday with a good laugh (even though coffee almost came out the nose)

I totally thought I was the only one..... Good to hear I'm not alone in my OCD/ anal retentive ways!

[sarcasm]

Beat me to it. They always stayed spang on 65-66% when I'd recalibrate (salt test) that when the batteries died in one cooler and then the next I haven't even bothered to replace them.

I'm actually not kidding. I'm a metrologist. My job is to calibrate instrumentation.

You must have a walk-in, too!.........or maybe you drilled a hole for the probe, I thought they had come down to around 7500................

saw this one noted in another forum, and thought they were hard core, but I think you've got 'im beat=d>

the cool part was I could set up high and low limits and any time they fell outside my allowable perameters I would get an automated phone call to me cell phone telling me what the problem was and in which room...

I had never thought of using that in a humidor application before... I'm not obsessive compulsive, but if I was...
