The Best Hygrometer

[Greg]

OK, I know this question has been answered many times. I think I have aquired OCD and I NEED TO KNOW MY RH, to a precise degree.

I want to know what the absolute most precise hygrometer there is on the market. Oh, and it has to be small. Money is no object, unless it is expensive :rofl:

I got a remote sensor one from Radio Shack, has 2 remotes and hangs on the wall for the display...love it and it's accurate...Damn if I can remember what kind...it's 23' away from me now.

 

[Greg]

OK, I need to add a provision: I HAVE to order it from my computer. This is a must.

 

[Greg]

Please help me

Do you also have a color preference and a particular country you want it to be manufactured in?

I just need the best.

I have never been like this before I began collecting cigars, but it ABSOLUTELY FREAKS ME OUT THAT THERE MIGHT BE A POSSIBILITY THAT MY RH IS OFF.

Am I weird?

 

[AZsteelman]

wierd as hell...use the beads and forget the monitoring issues...they will fix what ails ya! Trust me, would I lie to you fred?

 

[Greg]

I got beads, I just need to know.

ok, here is your answer. do a search for the Extech recalibratable hygrometer with salt test kit. it must have the salt test kit. about $100. be warned, it has a short battery life, about 4 or 5 days. But if you must have the most accurate, this is the one.

My BM guy said DC was tested and is the most accurate on the market. I bet you could order those on line.

A hygro is as accurate as the salt test tells it is. Even the best tend to trail off a bit in the accuracy category after time. Just make sure to get beads, and test it monthly if you really need to know that bad. I understand the OCD brother.

I use a little havana and an oregon scientific remote unit and both work great.

I say use a boveda pack and find out if your hygro is off...

I agree

 

[Jwrussell]

Unless you want to spend an obscene amount (and I assume you don't), just pick one that's "good" and test it every few months so you know exactly where you are at.

When I recently tested my hygros with a Boveda pack my Diamond Crown was the only one that was spot on...the batteries last the longest as well.
