I have read in many posts that the the humidipaks are foolproof for both applications also. Any thoughts?

I use the calibration packs. I ain't smart enough to do the salt test. Have been using them for two years and have never had any issues. They calibrate consistently. Well worth the $4.

My first humi, I used the seasoning pack, but now I use a slightly warmed bowl of water for a couple of days, and that usually does the trick.
