So I calibrated these two Hygrometers about two weeks ago using the salt test. Both units in the same plastic bag, same ambient temp, same time. They were in different humidors. Fast forward and I picked up the new whynter cigar cooler unit, so I was seasoning, etc, moving cigars and what not. I moved the two hygrometers to the new cooler, so I could make sure where the humidity was getting to, and got two different results. See photo:
I was waiting on a new hygro, the western caliber IV, got here yesterday, let it sit in a Boveda calibration kit for 26 hours or so, calibrated it (needed +1), and it is in the new humidor reading 66% with 65% heartfelt beads as the humidity medium:
Anyone have any thoughts on Boveda calibration kit vs the salt test? I am re-calibrating the Xikars now, and will put them back in the humidor after that to see if there are closer readings. Would like to get as close as possible.
