Is there such a beast? Or are the digital ones the way to go for real accuracy? I really like the way the analog looks but Im so OCD, I worry its not all that accurate... (The one I have reads 60% when its really at 70%) ... although it does stay at that number all the time (drops when I open...

Hey guys, i got my small 20 count humidor in today, and it came with a cheapo analog hygrometer. I have a digi on the way but id figure id get this thing going for the heck of it. Quick question. The hygro has a clear rubber ring around the outside casing, covering up what looks to be...

First of all, let me say hello to everyone, new to the board and looks like a great forum! So howdy to all!!! Now I am not throwing down gauntlets here, perhaps I refuse to be part of a mob like mentality, but what's the beef with analog hygrometers? I am a novice to humidors and storage...

so i just replaced my analog hydrometer with a digital , and man, was the analog off or what, its sitting at around 58 and the digital is at 73% and 75f. my humidor has probably been ready to use for a day now. and i just went out and bought sponges and tupperware for a temp storage place for my...

So I purchased a new humidor from Tampa Humidor. It is the Salerno and holds approx 300 cigars. Basically, a large bottom with two recetangle humidifiers and two shelves, glass top. No real instructions on how to season. I bought the seasoning kit. Came with one Boveda seasoning bag...

As I gather the materials I am going to use to build the drawers for my wine cooler humidor I find myself wanting to put in a nice looking round face analog hygrometer. The cedar drawers will show through the glass cooler door and a nice classy gold/brass tone analog hygrometer surrounded by the...

My problem is which hygrometer to trust, analog or digital? I have a HygroSet digital hygrometer and analog hygrometer that came with my humidor. Both are calibrated to 75% using Humidipak's One-Step Calibration Kit. When I place both in my humidor after a few hours the digital reads ~68% and...

Is it true that the analog type is next to useless?

Right now I have an Analog that reads 70% which is good but would you guys recommend picking up a digital one to double check? Are the digital ones more accurate and reliable? Do they need to be calibrated after purchasing? How much should I be looking to spend for decent one?

Never trust an analog hydrometer! My office humidor was reading 70% since I bought her several months ago. We had a herf after work yesterday and I gave one of buds an El Rey del Mundo La Flor de Llaneza and he told me thanks for the gift, but it is dry as the sahara desert. Holy S&^%, I had...

I have the built in analog hygrom in my "300" count humidor and my salt tested analog (+ 15% off) and both read the same humidity after applying the math. Both show just over 65%, approximately 67% on 65% beads. I'm hoping it will come down a few % or I can find a decent digital at walmart...

Here is something i've been pondering... Assume that i get a analog humi meter instead of a digital. Lets say that i calculate it and i manage to get it into acceptable tolerance. Is there any circumstance when i would have to recalibrate the analog meter? I don't like the looks of the digital...

Should a (cheapo) analog hygrometer ever take more than a minute or two to register the rh reading? (i.e. settle down to a reading, stop changing)?

Maybe I've just been lucky, but I have a couple of analog hygros that actaully out-perform my digital. Unfortunately, the analogs supplied with most humis do not include instructions. So, for the benefit of those who can't bear to trash the instrument, here's a cut-and-paste of some generic...

So here i am with my cheap little analog hygrometer. I'm just using it to tide me over until i get a digital one. Anyways this thing doesn't have a screw in the back, but a spring. So when ever i stick something back there to try and turn the needle, the spring just bounces back to where it was...

This is driving me crazy :c I just can't figure out this new humidor and hygrometer. I've calibrated it over and over and it reads about 92%. I took all humidification out and let the cigars just sit in the box. The reading now sits on about 75% but with the +13-15 that should be about 61%...

Hi. Need some help choosing a hygrometer. I have a humidor that came with a round hygrometer that fits into a hole in the side. It is very cheap and is made out of plastic. I did the salt calibration test when I broke it in and adjusted it to read the correct humidity. If you tap on it, it...

Which do you prefer and why. I prefer the digital. You may lose the "classiness" but I rather have a safer than sorry approach to temp and humidity.
