So pushing the melting point of tin could be a problem?

Possibly.

I'd be worried... sorry brother!!

I have the same one.

Mine was defective from the get-go. Worked once after salt testing, and hasn't worked since.

i think that may be a sign that the salt test kills them maybe ?

Mine took a spill, the battery fell out and it has been stuck at 180 degrees since. The RH seems to still be correct, which is good enough for a travel humi.

I've got 4 hygrosets and they have all been great, first one I've had any issue with. Just thought i'd it post since it is pretty freaking funny.

I think that you should be incredibly worried about them and send all your sticks to the first newbie who posts that you should send them to him for inspection and/or destruction. After all, such imaginative and unique suggestions should be rewarded.

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm pretty sure by the time you get to 183F, any beetles would have melted. Or popped.

Hell, i'll offer my services to inspect your collection for beetles, i believe my newbiness qualifies. I will very scientifically go through them and sample a proper ration to ensure that the stash is safe, and will return said stash with remains...i mean results of tested cigars for your piece of mind that you have no infestation worries.....LOL

Other than the humor, i haven't a friggen clue as to the status of your stash, but i'm learning form others responses in case i ever have a meltdown. Good news is i won't be out that much if my stash melts down, so i'm cool.

You will get crazy readings like that when the battery is going dead. At least that's been my experience.
