Recharging Boveda

[fastnbulbous]

I have been recharging for a couple of years. The attached pics seem like the perfect setup.

My setup is Tupperware with a tumbler glass of distilled water and i place the boveda packs around the glass. I have placed 8 packs this way, tightly packed and they all came back. I have even splashed a lot of water on the packs and the humidity checks out later. The packaging looks a little thinner (if that makes sense) but I have noticed no difference in RH.

Someone else mentioned not letting them dry out too much. I second that notion vehemently.

Boveda rules.

@defetis - here's my setup. Large sealed bowl from Wally World, smaller one in bottom for distilled water and a rack from old refrigerator shelf or one of the closet ones would work. I've had 8-10 in at one time, but works best with 4-5 at one time. I stick it in a closet and turn / check them about every other day.

Yes - the key is to have extra and rotate them before they get too crunchy and they will keep on going.

Just get some beads. I've had mine for more than 10 years and they don't need any "special" treatment whatsoever.

i have no issues with mine. i have a small airtight container that i put a damp sponge and the boveda in and let it sit for a few days and it recharges. i have to recharge the ones in my wooden humidor more than the ones in my tupperdors. usually every 6 months i have to recharge the humidors. i have yet to recharge my tupperdors going on 8 months!!

Yep both of the 65s in my tupperdors are like new after 6 months as well.
