Digital Hygro!
Im looking for good quality Digital Hygro i can stuff in my humi, as you can see im kind of a number nut, heck i dont know if half of these are even correct...the small dial hygro reads 68 and there is a large dial hygro on the front that reads 80...all of these have been salt tested, i may not have it right but i followed the directions i found, as you can see none of the digitals read the same and im fairly sure the temp is off as well...

Radio shack has some great digital hydros for cheap (sorry for no link). I got a set that had 4 remote hygrometers, and one central display. They're made for keeping the remote units outside. When I used to have a lot of humis I just put all the remote units inside the humis, and kept the central display next to my bed (that's how much of a cigar geek I am). I could just push a button and cycle through all the humis to display their temp and humidity. I think the whole set of 4 remote units and the display cost like $60 or so.

DOnt go for cheap. most put a large investment in cigars, so why trust something cheap to keep them good. Creedo is top notch

Stick with the adjustable you have and get some Boveda calibration packs. They are easier and more accurate to use than the salt test and the adjustable allows you to see the true reading, rather than having to note how far off the reading is.

I've bought half a dozen or so of these things and the best so far has been the first one I bought for my instrument case. Western Digital Caliber II. They have a smaller version now, this one is the size of a credit card. Closest to being accurate and still works after 7 years or so. Some of the inexpensive ones were usually off on the high end by from 5-8%.
