Right now I'm using 69% Boveda packs. That seemed like the easiest way to get started.Quote:

Bovedas are a great choice. I use a few of the 62's in my humidor and am recharging some in a Tupperware container as we speak. They still need about a week until they are fully charged.Quote:

Those packs both give off and absorb humidity as needed to reach the rh% listed on them. You can recharge ones that have started getting a little stiff and dry by placing them in an airtight container with another humidity source, such as a small shotglass of distilled water for a few weeks.Quote:

If you are using tupperware type storage you might not run into that issue for a while. I have had the same packs in mine for 6 months to a year and none of them have needed to be recharged yet.
Welcome from another Michigan native...though gone since '82!
Thanks for the info. I bought a four pack from Amazon and am currently using two in my humidor. I vacuum sealed the other two, so maybe I can start a rotation as the two I'm using start to dry out. I can recharge them while using the other two.Quote:
