Boveda Packs

[Overproof]

I currently have 5, 69% packs in my 150 count humidor and for the most part It appears to be keeping things steady at around 63-65% with my inside temps being low 20c

I've only had these packs for maybe 3 weeks but I noticed they say that they have a life of around 2 months?

Would beads be a better option longterm or can these packs be re charged?

Beads all the way. Bovida are great for traveling but that's about it.

I have 65% beads and I would never do it any other way now. I do love Boveda packs though. They have their purpose for traveling and shipping.

Cheers mate. I found some heartfelt beads.

Whenever they start to get hard and not as liquidy. As everyone above says, beads really take the headache out of keeping a stable RH.

I used to use packs and they are good but beads seem to work much better and very easy to recharge. And yes the packs can be recharged. Simply put them in a air tight container with a bowl of distilled water. I place a piece of wick out of a home humidifier in the bowl to draw the moister up so it can evaporate better

Good call.

Also, I found the Boveda packs lasted ~9mo in a large airtight tupperware container.

I've had 2x 69% in an 8L Lock&Lock since mid March and they're still very squishy, considering it also travelled with me from Sydney to Karachi for a 3 week holiday and subjected to very low ambient humidity and opened several times a day.

Did you know you can recharge Boveda packs?

That's good to know. I didn't until yourself and someone else commented above, so thanks. Everyone has been very helpful which is really appreciated.

My beads should arrive in a few weeks but I have a feeling I'll be needing more storage probably sooner than later. I started out with a tupperware container so I guess the packs will come in hand for when I need the extra storage...Great to know I can re charge them now.
