Traditional humidifier with Boveda for regulation?

shopkins82 · 03-12-2012, 10:28 PM

For the last month or so I've had only a small ~15 stick tupperdor that has served me well. So far I've maintained Rh with a Boveda 72% pack (only RH the B&M had) and trusted it without a hygrometer.

I recently picked up a small basic ~20 stick desktop humidor that came with a basic sponge-based humidifier disc that attaches to the lid magnetically. I have a DealExtreme Hygrometer on the way too, but it will obviously be a few weeks before it arrives. I'm currently seasoning with a Boveda Seasoning Kit, but I had an idea...

Once a humidor is seasoned, would it be of any benefit to provide humidification with a traditional humidification device but also use a Boveda pack to regulate humidification? It seems this would extend the life of the Boveda pack while still having the benefit of 2-way RH regulation.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?
