What small hygrometers is everyone using?

[MrClean]

Just calibrated my HygroSet I, it was off by 1% with the Boveda 75% calibration pack. Put it in the humi before I left for work, it'll be interesting to see what it reads when I get home. I either have a really leaky box or the cheap analog that came with it is way off.

Could be both.

I'd grab a digital Hygrometer and use that so you can be sure.

Calibrate that as well though.

I believe the Hygroset 1 he mentioned is a digital hygrometer, just rectangular.

He probably means he hasn't had a digital hygrometer in that box before and is curious about the accuracy of the analog that came with it.

Just to clarify -- when the hygrometer was off by 1% did you adjust the calibration knob and hit the "reset" button to save the calibration change?

It is the digital one and you are correct, I'm wondering if the analog is accurate. I think the humi is going to need some sealing around the glass and the analog hygrometer that came with it.

Yes sir

I got some HCM beads and once I know the box isn't leaking, I'll replace the "beads" that I'm using now.
