The humi-care ones here in CCom should be good enough, man. They're usually really close, but they're adjustable and digital. As long as they're adjustable, everything is good.

I really like the Xikar digital I have. The cool thing about it is when you calibrate it all you do is hit it with a salt test or Boveda pack and push the button, it auto sets to 75%. I also have several hydrostat adjustables and they work great as well.

ok thanks for the info. is there a specific xikar model that you recommend ?

big fan of the Caliber III here

+1 for the Xikar; pick it up for $15-$20 on Amazon

The hygroset's work for me and they can be calibrated / adjusted. If I'm not mistaken, the Humi-Care offered on ccom is a rebranded Hygroset.
I did have one where the adjuster dial was a little 'touchy', it read 73% I took it up one click and it read 77%, down again 74%, etc etc, but I eventually got it reading 75% in a Boveda bag so I am happy with it.

KCW:
But the question is has it been rock steady accurate or rock steady wrong! lol, have you calibrated it?
I have three of those and they are all off by 2 - 8 %

Yes. Every year w/ the Boveda System.MrMoke: -

I am using a Xikar, I salt tested and calibrated and have been happy with it.

I've used one of the Wally World digital hygros in my humi since I got it, with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
