Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

It would appear that Acu-Rite has changed their design?
I can't find anything on Acu-Rites website stating it changed, they still have the same picture. Might want to grab them up if you can find them, unless the second image is the old vesion and my Walmart just hasn't sold them yet.

When I went to Wal-Mart this weekend I found one of this model:

And 3 of this model on the same hook for the same price. The problem is that it is about 2 times thicker than the first one
so it would not fit nicely into a small humi:

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I picked one of these up the other day. Looks to big for what my humi will be. (Last one lost in my divorce, been using the sponge and tupperware for some time).

I am debating on taking it back and getting this:

?productId=4030122&numProdsPerPage=60

Anyone ever tried these before I shell out the money for it? Con is it's oly available oline. Have to wait.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I would just get the one that pretty much everyone uses. and that would be the one posted above your post at wal-mart or these babies

You can find them cheaper if you look. Cigarmony.com has them too.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Kept it. Placed it in a salt chamber at 9:00 AM yesterday, and as of 6:00 this morning (21 hours later), it was at 75% RH, and 72 degrees Farenheit.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Dang! And I just came from Walmart......ugh, I am in need a digital one.:mad:

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

There's also these:http://www.walmart.com/ip/Springfiel...meter/10671021

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I'd avoid that one. A number of years ago, they used to be ok, maybe off by a few points, but at least they were consistent. Now, very unreliable. Most likely a parts change. Last ones I tried wouldn't read above somewhere in the high-50's.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

HA! I click on the link and it says "Sorry, but the site is down for it's nightly maintenance LOL Thanks anyway, I will just go into walmart this week and pick on up.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have two of them both are 4% off, lucky the OP is soo close.
I can't find the slim one anymore, now all I can find look like this:

My local Walmarts do not have these ones, wish they did.
The link says out of stock online.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Just picked one up today for $7.94 before tax......salt testing as we speak.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have one in my coolidor. Looks nice but was 8-9% off after the salt test. I'll eventually just buy another hygroset one. But for the mean time it works pretty good for the 8$ it was.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Just an FYI ... There is a new model being sold at Walmart that seems to work just as good but it is bigger then this model.

The back is a lot deeper and is rounded off.

Some may have this old square thinner model but it seems most have the new deeper and fatter model in stock.

Just wanted to let you all know of this change that I see in size from the one pictured above

Still $7.99 though

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have a couple of each and both types work great :tu

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I think that's the one I bought Chris...it's fricken huge

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have three, one old flat kick stand style and two new fat style.
My old one is 4% off
My first new one is 4% off
and my third is dead on, finally!

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Mine is dead on as well.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Does anyone have the model # for the new model or a link?
I've been to 4 Walmarts in search of one and can't find one on the website for less than $24.99
It may be a Jersey thing, Jetlights are non existent in my local Walmarts as well.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I just got two in the mail, I have to get batteries and calabrate :(

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I can't get the Jetlites either but I can get the Hygrometer.
I'll get you one Dom, don't worry about it. And oh yah I have your address!!!

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Yep, that's it.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Already got it covered Frank!:r

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I really hope you know what your getting yourself into lol

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have been punished for making statements similar to Dom's, now it's my turn to do the punishing!:r

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Thanks Shane.
I don't see anywhere to order one, looks like instore only.
A quick check of my local stores shows "Limited Availability", which most likely translates to "good luck with that!"
I'll take the Model# with me and check it against shelf tags next time I go.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Seriously stop looking, I got you covered on this!
Give up, move on!

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

No need fellas, I can find one!
Many thanks, but I enjoy a good challenge and will locate one!

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

It's already one the way, I can't stop it. Sorry.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have one of these, and while it works just fine, I have to subtract seven from it every time.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

I have tested 3 of them.
Two where 4 off and the third was dead on.

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.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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. :D

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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!

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Mine reads high by three

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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.

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

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

Re: Acu-Rite 00613 Digital Hygrometer from Wal-Mart
 

Ill try that right now!

DONE. See how it looks tomorrow AM
