No no, I have the same "piece of shit" as Noobie. But mine works. Guess I'm just lucky.

A few years ago we could still get decent hygrometers for $10. Now, they've all gone out of business and all you can get are made in china copies for $5, but they're total shit.
If you do manage to find a decent one at a cigar shop, don't use the salt test. It calibrates for the mid 70% range. The damp towel test calibrates for 99% which is much closer to what you'll operate at. RR
lol i agree i've been shopping for all my supplies the past week, got everything i needed, except a hygrometer so i went to wally word to do some grocery shopping lastnight and the ONLY one i could find was only 3 bucks, i knew it was a joke from the beginning but i figured what the hell i'll try it, i can get a better humidity reading from listening to what my pet dog tells me it is.

I really got lucky with Envirolite digitals. All three of mine worked fine. Min/max thermometers with min/max hygro too. I killed one through carelessness, gave one away, and one I treat like a precious lab insturment.

I think I either got them on eBay or at Lowe's. I was doing some heavy searching locally, but I don't remember if I found them here or not. You'll need to check any hygrometer. I check at 99% with a damp towel, 75% w/ wet salt, and check local RH vs weather reports.
