I have not used them, but many have. They are actually silica sheets 1/8" thick. You moisten them and then put them on the bottom of your humi, then the foam goes on top. No lost space!
The only disadvantage of the Boveda packs is that if they dry out they take quite a bit of time to recharge, so it just depends where the OP is going. |

After rereading the OP he says he is concerned about "keeping humidity in check" Does this mean he needs something absorb or provide humidity?? I dont think pillows or Boveda packs absorb very efficiently.

The humidipak website's first page is a huge splash screen that says "The World's First 2-way Humidity Control." So they are at least advertised as such. I've always been happy with them. I use a Boveda in my big 18-ct caddy.

Scott's beads are set to maintain an equilibrium at 65% RH. They add or absorb moisture as needed, and for their size they handle much more moisture than other beads or silica (or PG) products. |

![]() I Talked To Scott About A "Leaky" Desktop Humidor I Had & He Graciously Repaired It. Even Scott Said That His Beads Cannot Maintain The 65% That Boveda Does in An Unstable Environment. I Have Used 65%RH Boveda Packs For 3 Years Now On All My Desktop Humis. The Ones That Have Large Leaks Use Up The Boveda Packs More Quickly. The RH Never Varies More Than 1-2 Points. Boveda Packs Contained Purified Water, NOT PG, BTW. |

I have 5 of the 2x5" ones. They seem to work well. I keep them in the vino with the rest of my humidification stuff. If I'm going away for a week or so, I'll throw one in the bottom of my caddy under the foam trays. I also have one in the small tupperdor where I keep a small variety of flavored cigars for my wife.
