So I bought this Humi-Care digital hygrometer off CI.
However I'm having a helluva time calibrating it.
I'm using the Boveda calibration kit with the 75.5% packet inside. The instructions were to place the hygrometer in the bag for 24-36 hours until it gets a stable reading, then calibrate the hygrometer accordingly.
It was in the bag for 36 hours and had a reading of 72%, so I turned the adjustment knob 3 clicks clockwise to make the adjustment, then pressed the "set" button.
However, this resulted in it jumping to 81% RH.
I placed it back in the bag to let it settle down and now, 3 hours later, it still says 81%.
Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a way to deal with it?
Is it a faulty hygrometer? Am I doing something incorrectly?
