Boveda Packs Regeneration

I do this all the time too, the only drawback I can tell is they seem to dry up faster after the recharge. Still getting SAME RH for most part though. So I got a 12 pack and just rotate.

That would mean that "re-charged" humidity escapes the humi faster than "new" humidity or that a new pack works slower than a re-charged pack.

The new ones do feel different from re-charged ones, though.

Could be that I am impatient and don't wait for them to FULLY recharge? Not sure. I haven't been real technical about how i do it. I put them in a snap lock tupperware with another tupperware inside it with 2 fresh sponges soaked in distilled water. I put the packs around that, lock it up and leave them for a week or until they feel squishy again. They just don't seem to have the same consistency of NEW boveda packs once recharged. Who knows.

I imagine your like me and have no patience so they don't get fully recharged.

Probably true.
