Western Caliber III Digital Hygrometer

[montecristo#2]

Those threads are funny. :r :r

I actually don't like the salt test. From my experience, if you add too much water or not enough water your results are different (again just my experience).

I don't have a problem with the calibration kit or the Boveda RH packets. I tested all 10 of my Western Digitals using the RH kit and they were all within +/- 1% of 75%.

When I throw them into my humidors with 65% beads, the hygrometers are right on (within the error range). That is good enough for me. :tu

The only other comment I have on the calibration kit is that you need to let the hygrometers stay in there for at least 24 hours.

I have ordered 2 Western Caliber III's (at different times) from bargainhumidors.com ($19.99 shipped - great response time!!:tu)

My only concern is that one read 74% Rh and one read 77% Rh , after Boveda calibrating them with calibration pack (done twice), but the temp was the same:tu.

Supposedly they are within 1% +/-, but alas are reading 2-3%Rh off EACH.

Any chance bargainhumidor will exchange them??? at least the 77% one...

Next time I might go with an adjustable from heartfelt etc...

Will keep you posted.

(These are NOT adjustable, nor read out to a decimal, but love the size and ease of use.)

We would be happy to test and replace for you if one or both are defective. They are covered under a 5 year warranty by Western Humidor. If you have a Caliber II/III and it is not working right call us at 800-776-0096 to set up a return. Better to get the digital hygrometer you already PAID for ONCE replaced for the cost of shipping one way than go with a generic digital that is not as accurate and does not have a warranty. They cost the same anyway, you do the math.

I hope to hear from you soon Tom and anyone else that may have a Caliber II or III that is not working correctly.

Life is short, enjoy a cigar today!:ss
