Boveda Hygometer Calibration Kit usage?

Is the Boveda 75%?

Anyway, doesn't matter what you do before you put the hygro in the bag with the Boveda. But, after 24 hours the hygro should be calibrated to whatever the Boveda is- say 75%. In this case you can press the calibration button to match the 75% level in the bag. What I've done with the older hygros is take a silver pen and put + or - the number of points the hygro was off.

K.. this makes sense. I could not, for the life of me, understand why I would need to press the button upon placing into the Boveda bag.
Can the Boveda bag be used twice? I have 2 hygometers.

You can fit 2 hygrometers into one kit. I've done this with my 2 desktop hygrometers. They are both of the Xikar ones with the 75% calibration button on the top.
