Noobie.. How can I tell if my humidifer works?

Are you planning on buying more cigars? How many cigars do you have right now? If it's less than 25... DO THIS!

From what you said, it has seem you bought a POS humidor, correct?

Instead of buying a new humidor. Why not start out simple and use a tupperware with a good seal (assuming you are new into cigars and don't have very many sticks), use that and throw in a couple Boveda Humidity packs (72*).

Stick around the forums and read some more about humidors and hygrometers. Stick to this for now, it's hands down the easiest and will cost you little money.

Huy's not right about much, but he's right about this. When I used to overflow my desktops I'd use tupperware until a new humi arrived. Although I'd go with a lower Boveda pack if avail (think they have one below 70).

Actually, Huy is very knowledgeable and many here respect his opinion.

I guess my sarcasm wasn't as obvious as I thought.

Hope I'm not breaking any forum rules, but here is a cheap hygrometer combined in with a weather station. Got this tip from a member on another forum. I believe in helping everyone get smarter. I plan on ordering one, he says salt tested good at 75%, maybe he got lucky, don't know if you can calibrate, just account for the difference once properly salt tested, if not. He said his has been working well for a few months with original batteries. Makes you wonder how they can sell them that low.
