Humidifier/hygrometer placement

[rball5]

Just curious - my humidifier arrived today & is currently being seasoned using Lopaka's guide. Reading the included instructions & doing a few searches online turned up something I found interesting.

The instructions say that the hygrometer should not be placed near the humidifier, but just about every desktop humidifier I've seen has the two placed right next to eachother - either built in to the lid, or placed on the upper tray... kinda contradictory to everything I've read.

I plan on using a jar + I've got a bead-stick I picked up to use until the humi is ready... I planned on putting the jar on the tray & the stick in the bottom. Any problem with this plan (other than taking up space that I'm quickly running out of )?

Here's what I picked up - it's purdy in person. I'll get some pics of it when I get it loaded:

Honestly, I'm not trying to up my post-count

Just wanted to correct my bad terminoligy. I'll be using a 4oz humi-care jar & a DryMistat stick (they told me at the B&M the stick is for 25-50 cigars).

You'll have to see what the rh does once its stabilized.....maybe you'll need to remove one of the humidification devices, maybe not. Its all about consistency over time, and the way the cigars smoke at a given rh, imho, the numbers (within a given range for mere preservation and beetle prevention) are all modifiable to ones own tastes. Cigars are pretty forgiving in my experience so it doesn't pay to get "too" technical about it. It took me awhile to learn this, but I enjoy the hobby and the cigars more now.

My humidifier is on the bottom of my humi, and the remote sensor is on the top drawer, but I've never noticed more that 1-2 % difference in the readings.....and that's usually right after I refresh with distilled h2o.
