Q:Will this meter work to test the moisture level in cannabis?
by|Jul 29, 2022
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  This unit was not designed for this purpose, however we do have customers who use this unit for this exact purpose. Keep in mind that equivalence values on readings will not be exact, as the unit is calibrated and designed for wood moisture testing.

          It was difficult to utilize in tight spots, like under the sink. The meter can only be read while it’s on the wood, so if the angle isn’t such that you can see the results, it’s not helpful. Returned it.

          Does the job it's supposed too. I bought this to check moisture levels of tobacco, I roll my own and the new machine I use works best when the moisture level is about 10-11%.

          Works OK, except sometimes you have to take two readings. Maybe I need to get used to it - maybe I'm not positioning the pins evenly.

          Switching between the two ranges of moisture content is frustrating and time consuming. Also the time to initialize is comparatively longer. I'm comparing this to a similarly priced meter that I've had for about 8 years.

          Very useful tool, was purchased to test for moisture content in wood flooring and wall after minor water seepage. Sensitive and very effective at locating problem areas. The LED readout is very easy to read.
