Newbie in the jungle
Hi everyone. It's nice to be aboard.
I've been smoking cigars for about a year now, But only got my small humidor recently, so I'd still consider myself a newbie.
I performed the salt test on my hygrometer, but the result was 65% RH, rather than the expected 75%. I almost certain that I performed the test right. I used a solution of 50% distilled water and 50% PG, rather than just distilled water, though. Could this have had any influence on the test?
In any case, would you advice me to return the hygrometer for another one (could another of the same brand be correct?, or should I get another brand?), or should I just go on using it, and just adding 10% to whatever it reads?
Thanks in advance
