Thanks for the advice. Last night I read through the Newbie Sampler and am now thinking it's something I might be interested in. I just assumed the minimum was like $100.

As for the hygrometer, I cannot calibrate the cheap digital. I calibrated the analog, but IDK how long they stay true to the calibration. After taking the puck out and leaving the Xikar in there, the humidity has stayed about the same, reading like 50% on the analog. I'm leaning toward spending the $20-$30 on an accurate hygrometer to take away my worries.

Thanks!
