hygrometer ?

[Panicbound]

My cheapy holt humidor's hygrometer does not work. I have tried to fix it manually, but to no avail. My question is should I buy a digi hygrometer, and are they reliable? Furthermore, I don't want to worry about fixing or replacing the existing pos. I just want the easiest method to guage without taking any space.........again the humi was only 20$

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mark at cigarmony has excellent adjustable hygrometers and calibration kits.

I have one and it works great.

Buy a digital hydro. The price of the humi isn't the issue, but the value of the sticks in it does. I'd go with a Oregon Scientific wireless units. They are only 35-40 dollars. Best money I've spent on Hygros, plus they are dead on. Don't however trust the analog hygro's.

ive got a few cheapies from Walmart for around 6 bucks. ive run the salt test on em and the boveda calibration packs and they are all within 4%. ive taken note of the difference and they work just fine!

I would rather spend a couple of bucks more and get one from more of a mom and pop type business, but thx for the suggestion......

if space is a concern...I recommend this one:

the round one is completely adjustable, and it fits right into the space the POS analog one came in.

(while your their pick yourself up some beads to make humidity even less of a stressor for ya!):stretchgr

Toss the analog and go digital. Most should be within 1-2%.

I digital. It's pretty much the same one as the Oregon Scientific, but cheaper, and harder to find. I got mine at Radio Shack. It's a model that they have closed out, so most stores don't have them. In fact, when I got mine a month ago only 3 stores in our 10 state area had one. My store had one shipped in. I also found an extra sensor in a local store and now have one for each of my humis. The base unit can recieve a signal from up to 3 sensors (1 comes with the base unit) as well as taking a reading itself. Here are the item numbers that you can take in and have them check:

Base unit with 1 sensor: 63-1089
Extra Senson: 63-1092

Each of those is under $20.

Altercall,
Extra Senson: 63-1092

What is the Fequency on those senors? I might get one if it is 433HZ.

 

[Altercall]

yes, it is.

Sweet, I'm going to check if our local radio shack has them. My Oregon Scientific is on the same frequency. only their sensors run 35 dollars. and a new unit only costs 39 dollars. I'll see if they are compatible. Thanks Altercall.
