Any way, I will be replacing all hydrometers with"The Calber 4Rs" as soon as I can

Whatcha gonna do with the old ones?

Hhhhhmmmmm just my .02 but the salt test should be 75rh so the one reading 73 is more accurate

Was just going to mention this. The salt test should give you a perfect 75.

I like my caliber 3 its spot on with my xikar hygrometer.

I really would like as much input from you guys as possible. If I need to adjust some parameters I will.

I'm just trying to understand why you wouldnt just calibrate to 75 for all of them.

Hygros are the new beads...they suck. Throw in a stopwatch and it works wayyyyy better, much like KL. Right now, my humi is running 43:12 and my smokes taste great.

While you did learn which ones will give the same readings, I too am curious as to the consistency of your salt and distilled water ratio. I have read many times and always carried out the directive that says you want your salt to be the consistency of wet sand. Not too swampy and not too dry either. And that consistency should produce a reading of 75%RH.

Oh, And I'll trade you some cigars for the Xikar and the Hygroset. That is, if you are getting rid of either one.

Just curious about your salt and water mix. I see you said it was not an exact formula, but was it a watery solution? I have only looked into how to calibrate a hygro once and used the same method ever since, but what I read on the matter was your looking for a mix of a lot of salt and very little water. Just enough water to get the salt damp/wet and not try to dissolve it. Basically what you end up with is a very grainy pile of wet salt. Anyone else disagree with this (I’m asking)

this is the correct way. salt:water = 4:1 by volume.
