I would give them a little longer, for some reason one of the three that I bought took longer to regulate than the other two, but they all regulated to +/-3%. And for that price +/-5% is pretty good, you could just put a piece of tape on each stating the difference.

I have three of the walmart ones that are 3-5 percent off, I don't want anymore that are non-calibratable and off. I ordered these to give them a shot because they are cheap, I am not upset by them. They are better than they cost, however not good enough for what I want now. I will keep thiem in the humi to see if they improve but they have been in for two days now and are off by a good amount.

Thanks very much for the link.

I have a caliber III and it seems to work very well. You can't calibrate it though, which concerns me a little. It is very accurate though. I just can't say if it will stay accurate over time as I've only had it for a little while.

That's the way I FEEL, too, why have a hygrometer if it's 3% off, 5% off how much ever?
I prefer too keep my beads wet and let the ice chests do their thing.

As far as the company we are talking about, I am not as enthused. I ordered a buttload of the
standard model torch, the 1300s, and also a butt ton of novelty lighters for the smokers I know,
Pepsi cup, poker chip, hand of cards, Hello Kitty, the whole lot. I got shorted one Pepsi Cup
lighter, plus they billed the total, then broke the order up into two separate shipments a
week apart, and after another week I have not heard about the last three unshipped items,
3 pairs of cool 3D glasses made like sunglasses, a cheap webcam and some red mini light sabers.
I asked them to just cancel and refund that 20 bucks, but in the end I bet the whole thing
blows up and I end up $20 in the hole. But I got my 1300s. I'll be shipping those out free to
people I like. Not a bad place to go if you can wait forever, which normally I can, but it looks
as if they just ran out of give a shi+ on my last three items and stopped there. We'll see.

I know this is from a month ago, but from what I've heard from people who do a lot of business with them, if you email them and complain about getting shorted product they'll usually make things right. It might take a little persistence, but usually they'll come through.

I think the problem is that they do so much business and have such a poor inventory control/order fulfillment system that things just fall through the cracks (even though they shouldn't). This is especially true around Chinese New Year when people are trying to get orders in before the company shuts down for the week+, and then in the rush to catch up with the backlog that accumulates during the holiday.

I'm not trying to excuse their behavior at all, just trying to give a little explanation. Also, I have some other crap to pick up from there, I might have to throw one or two of the lighters in the OP into my shopping cart.
