Re: Wireless Hygrometer Recommendations

i have recently bought 4 xiaomi hygro/termo meters. they are small, connect to app via bluettoth and you can track changes etc. they show about 5% more RH then my other hygrometer but consistently, so it could be counted for. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000713871310.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0...

Re: Yixing

lopin Good to hear this pot didn’t set you back too much. Not a total waste as long as you learn something from these two replicas. If your planing to buy pots online you should spend some time doing side by side photo comparison of real vs. fake. Doing this has helped me avoid ending up with lots ...

Re: Yixing

Spring Tip 2007 Yunnan Shuangjiang #mengkurongshi #shengpuerh #puerh. I have this in the same rank, maybe slightly below, like 8653 from #xiaguanteafactory .
