Reddit reviews Inkbird ITH-10 Digital Thermometer and Hygrometer Temperature Humidity Monitor Humidor Guitar Ukulele Mason Jar

This is the one I use on trips. I prefer digital and this one also measures humidity and keeps a log of highs and lows, so if I want to know the low overnight, it'll tell me in the morning. It's light as a feather and super cheap. Doesn't have a carrying loop though I'm sure you could tape one on. I just store mine in my hipbelt along with some other small tools. It's not all that special, there are probably a ton of other thermometers similar to it online. The one big downside to this model is that it can't read temps below 23F/-5C.

Condensation on the inside of the enclosure is definitely too much humidity, that much is for sure.

Secondly, analog gauges like what you have there in the back (I can see it a bit behind the fake plants) are notoriously bad for being horribly inaccurate. I'd strongly suggest you buy an electronic hygrometer. Something like this should work just fine for you, and be much more accurate.

This is the best and exactly what you need.

It looks like an Inkbird Hygrometer. Based on picts on Amazon the first number is temp and the second is humidity.

That should do it, cedar trays are optional but I found that they helped keep things organized

This is what I use in my jars, along with a few reptile type meters.

do you have any recommendations for digital & how to make sure they are calibrated?

i just got one of these in yesterday actually, since i dont like analog things. threw it in a baggy with salt/water mix to see what it shows and it was around 72 after being in there for a night.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0140UC9XQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


is there any brand that is "better" or easiest to calibrate/manage over time? i picked that one cause price was good and had plenty of decent reviews. and most of them seemed to be about the same thing with diff name anyways.

figure if you got that much tied up you have tried a few things and done your research already :)

Plugging the hole is pretty easy. You can use pretty much anything you want. For mine I got those foam ear protection plugs. The ones you squeeze and then put into your ear and they conform to provide protection. I put two of those into the drain pipe, stuffed them in and then covered with a small layer of silicone. This way if for whatever reason I need to undo this it's just a little silicone on top and the foam ear things will just push out with a straw or something. You can even use tape...but for $5 for a tub of silicone is a no brainer when you will be storing potentially thousands of $$ of smokes. Why save a few cents now to loose many dollars later. But as I said, as long as it plugs the hole you will be fine.

Next for the hygrometer, I would recommend something such as :

or

Both will get the job done. Also get a couple, so you can put one on bottom and one on top shelves.

​

In my opinion there really isn't too much difference between the two. You will actually find a few companies with this "style" of meter. They just might have different button placements, but i'm almost 100% all of these are OEM'd by the same company in Asia and then they just do a few different touches (such as buttons, and placement) for different vendors. Either way, when ever you get a new hygrometer throw it into a ziploc with a Boveda overnight to confirm it is accurate. If it's within 1%RH (+/- 1) of the Boveda you are good to go.
