Is it possible that my new Brinsea's humidity gauge is off?

Have you ever calibrated your hygrometer? It is very important to ensuring proper levels. It is not uncommon for them to be off upwards of 20%. They are delicate instruments and the coil gets knocked around during shipment.

Good point Jason. I don't use one so didn't even think of it.

No I don't know how. I assumed that since it said the thing does pre-calibrated that I wouldn't have to. I feel like such an idiot.

The salt method is the most effective. Heres a link: http://www.cigar-info-guide.com/hygrometer-calibration.html
