Avoid them (Inkbird) I just went 2 weeks back & forth with their customer "dis-service" via emails and all I got was a run around. After prodding them, it turns out they test their units in oil not water and they said there are wider variances in temp swings in water and couldn't guarantee a +/- 1 degree difference. I'm done with them...

Is it me or does the Ink Bird calibration absolutely suck? I have a brand new 306A and I'm using celsius set to 25.3 to 25.5 and the initial calibration was - 0.3, a few hours later and this has drifted to more than - 1.1 off. I started off with fahrenheit, but that swing was even greater and you can only set the temp to a 0.5 range. Both probes are near my apex temp probe, so there shouldn't be any fluctuation between them?

Thanks for the tip of switching to Celsius. I was able to tighten the swing(s) and for now will do, until I replace them.
