Calibrating my hydrometer

I just got a new humidor for Christmas and it has a digital hydrometer built in the front. I was wondering if there was any way to check the accuracy of it or should I trust it out of the box?

I would not ever trust it out of the box. Search the posts and I think you will find an in depth exlaination (too long to type with my thumbs right now).
Just as an FYI I purchased the Boveda calibration kit which comes with excellent instructions and worked great.5 -
You need to calibrate it.
It should just pop out.
I use a tupperware dish with sealing lid, and a 75% boveda, then leave it for 24 hrs.
Some use a ziplock bagThe higher.......the fewer. ( Alexander Rozhenko)

Thanks for the tips, I will see if it just pops out and go from there.

There's a thread on this forum about checking the calibration of Zikar hygrometers, that Zikar recommends checking them in Tupperware, not in a bag. For some reason, maybe because of where the vents and the sensor is located the Zikar's don't read accurately in a Ziploc bag. I checked the calibrations of my three hygrometers, stuck them in upside-down Tupperware with a Boveda calibration pack to check their accuracy, it worked well.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )2
