all done with the salt test my old hygro was spot on 75 percent my new one said 73 so a made note of that and added a label to it that says +2.
Thanks for all the help looksl ike the oasis is about 10 percent off and from what i see this is somewhat normal so im okay with it .
my new humi comes tomorrow and the fun begins

what the .......
I have used the Oasis Ultra for a couple months now, and it has been doing a good job. However, I am having the same problem with the unit not controling the humidity. Mine is 10% off as well, but it has been doing such a great job I haven't bothered with sending it back to the factory. Plus, I just bought a load of cigars that I want to keep fresh.
I have salt tested my digital hydro and it checks out.
I will probably send the unit in before the warranty runs out, and I smoke though some of these stoggies.
But it has done its job so far, and it is perfect for my 75-150 humi.

It's the Cigar Oasis Ultra's fault!!! I was going to keep quiet until I really tested the situation myself...
I was very excited about the Cigar Oasis Ultra when it came out, an active Humidication device for a desktop, great!
Alas, I have had my CO Ultra for 10 months now (approx.) and have the Caliber III, and am on my 2nd CO Ultra, after going directly to the company here on Long Island. They were very nice, had their guy check it out and he said it was way off, they sent me new CO Ultra, working Ok until it started getting worse and worse and now is off 5% + on batteries and 10% off when plugged in socket, obviously can ruin one's cigars.
I recently contacted them once again and am awaiting their reply. I will keep you posted. VERY DISSAPPOINTED, so far!!! Too much $$ to be having such problems...
I am looking for a new humidifier device for my new humidor a larger desktop triangular glass top display - any suggestions?
The Caliber is on point, pretty much as far as I can tell. I am getting a Boveda soon to pinpoint it, but it does not fluctuate and my cigars are
maintained according to its reading and they have been great!! I might try something I can calibrate with my new humi...

PM your addy And I will send you some beads!!:bl
I've been using the CO Ultra in my huidor at work for a few months now. The hygrometer in it is way off, about 10%. But it works fine by setting it at 55%. I also have a little havana hygrometer in there that I salt tested.
One other note, when you fill a cigar oasis, follow the instructions in the FAQ on the website, not the ones that come with it. I've had to send back 2 CO XL units because they failed. They constantly run through all the number in the display. Their customer service said this can happen if you fill the reservoir by pouring in water and draining the excess, just like their instructions that come with them said.

IMHO. Do not buy it.
They definitely work. The Hygrometer is GARBAGE!! Mine is also 10 off. I have it set at 57 and it definitely works, but I have beads as well. ALso the unit works differently when plugged into the wall or battery operated, not just the conservation factor, as far as battery life (which they tout) and fan speed, but the hygrometer also reads differently so be careful!! Seemingly I just really use it for humidity circulation, which a fan could do and to add a humidity intermittently. but for the price you could probably do better.
