Default Re: Boveda Packs Regeneration

Here is how I rehydrate my Boveda packs.... works well...

I have a "large" sealed container with a lid and the next size down container without the lid...




I then put all the packs I want to rehydrate in to the smaller container, which will remain "dry".




I then nest the smaller container in to the larger container which is about 1/2 full of DW.... The Boveda packs will not come in to contact with the DW... as they are "floating" in the smaller container.




Then, I put the lid on the larger container and put them aside - and forget about them until I need them again. By that time, they will be ready for reuse.... I usually go a couple of months before having to replace them.... and I do all four of my humidors at the same time.

Default Re: Boveda Packs Regeneration

Great job and photographs everyone. I like the idea of re-hydrating a pack back to its original weight (small pack 8g app and large pack 60g app). This appears to bring the pack back to its original RH set.

The manufacturers web page indicates the packs when originally purchased, should last between 2-4 months. I would assume if you recharge a pack, that it should last at least 3 months (avg) prior to needing another recharge. This depends on, of course, how many cigars one is keeping humidity on.

Again, good work all
