You don't need any empty boxes. What is the temperature inside the Haier? Is the Haier drain plug sealed?

Also, just to clarify -- have you put your desktop humidor inside the Haier?

Desktop is inside, Haier display says 67-68 degrees, hygro says 68-69 degrees. This cooler has no drain plug (probably due to size, and yes it is thermo-electric). I calibrated the one in the desktop a few days ago...may just set 'em side by side for a bit to get a feel for the new one...or just suck it up and calibrate the damn thing...it IS adjustable! I just have a few boxes on the way so I'm getting antsy...but trying not to.

Micheal's site "Says" that the hygrometers should be calibrated out of the box, but it also says that shipping and such can mess up the readings on a hygrometer.

Sooo.... You should calibrate your hygrometer. I ordered one of the calibration packs with my hygrometer, it was only a dollar. I would trust the pack over the salt test anyday.

I Never Could Get The "Salt Test" To Work Right. I Always Use The Boveda Calibration Packs!
