Anybody know anything about these? They look really neat but if anyone can share some first hand knowledge on how accurate they it'd be great.

It would be great if they are accurate and have longevity! Might make viable replacement for those POS analogs they make holes in humidors for!!

Seems expensive...
[Reply]

Yea thats pretty neat!! Would be nice if they also had them in different diameters to repalce all the inaccurate cheapies that come with humi's
[Reply]

Right, I agree on the cost. I definitely wouldn't pay that price but just liked the idea of it. I think I'm going to keep an eye open and pick one up when the price is right.

That's pretty.

Too rich for my blood, but pretty.

I have a $10 off coupon code if you want it?
[Reply]

$38 ($28 w/coupon) isnt to high for me I got $1000's of dollars of smokes and wouldnt trust them to a cheapie gauge! :-)
[Reply]

So are you not a fan of digi's as a whole? Or are these "pretty gauges" not accurate?
[Reply]

Bill I like the digi's and think they are very accurate. What I was refereeing to were comments above stating that $38 is too much $$ for a gauge!
[Reply]

Ah I got you, I misread your post. You were refering to your 401k that is currently in the form of Cigars and not wanting to trust it to the Mafia (analog) when you can put it in Fort Knox (digi) :-):-)

Just because something is expensive does not mean it is better.

The Xikar, Caliber or HygroSet hygrometers can be had for a lot less and are very accurate.

bingo !
[Reply]

Mike I am not endorsing this gauge or arguing the accuracy of others, said I thought it was neat for $38 ($28 w/coupon) that’s it!
[Reply]

I think its absolutely awesome! If I ever get around to the Wineador project and already have 5-800 invested....yea I will wait for a sale or coupon and probably get 2 or 3 of these.:-)

There's nothing in the description about these being able to be calibrated via a salt test, I'd much rather save a few bucks and buy one I know can be calibrated and accurate. Plus the only review says that this unit isn't accurate over time. :-)
[Reply]

They do come with adapters to fit the existing holes.:-)

Amazon says they are "recalibrate-able" just doesn't say if you can salt test though. I agree that's paramount.

also found them as low as 32.00. Still a bit high IMHO.
[Reply]

Any hygrometer can be salt tested. This one can be calibrated too, so it has the functionality. I think it is overpriced for what it does. Just my :-)
[Reply]

I just bought one, should be here in a day or two.
[Reply]

Got it today, looks nice. The one thing I'm not thrilled about is the accuracy. Says it can be -+ 4% which dosn't sound that great to me. Says it comes pre calibrated but I suppose I will throw it in the zip lock with salt and see where it goes to.

Curious to see how accurate it actually is.

If it's not that accurate, I'm gonna send it back and get a xikar digital as they are -+2%
