Get a digital hygrometer. The analogs are notoriously hard to calibrate, if they ever do.

Welcome to the slope...

Thanks for the advice and the welcome Sean. I did upgrade to a digital hydrometer when I placed my order. I will do the seasoning myself. Do you (or anyone else) have experience with using the Boveda seasoning and calibration packs? I know that the shotglass full of distilled water has been the tried and true method of seasoning as has salt calibration been for hydrometer calibration.
I have read in many posts that the the humidipaks are foolproof for both applications also. Any thoughts?
