I need some DRIED UP BOVEDA packs..

[Jaybird]

I have an idea for a Boveda pack rehydration kit I really want to try out. I need about 6-8 dried up Boveda packs. I really dont care what RH% this is just for a test.

If you have some and would like to donate a few hit me up.

Cheers
Jay

Nice. Curious to see if this is any different than how I do it (which I learned from either Jfire or Danthebugman... can't recall.)

My rehydration kit is pretty simple....

small plastic container about 2"x2"x2" filled with DW.. placed inside a small piece of snapware (about 1 quart)..

insert dried out bovedas... leave them in place for a couple of weeks.. and voila! useable bovedas!

(credits this educational experience to jfire..)....

I have a way to rehydrate these in three days.

I've done it, posted it.... But I am super curious about what you have in mind!!!

Awesome

I've done this way but usually it takes about 4 weeks for me, maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I've been doing it with a shot glass inside a tupperware container, but it takes forever. I was thinking of ways to increase the surface area of the DW. I'm thinking about reversing the set-up....put a small glass with the packs inside a flatter tupperware container containing a lot more DW.

Curious about this as well

 

[Smoqman]

Take a small saucer and fill just the lower interior part of it with distilled water.
Take your boveda and lay it on the outer edge so part of it touches the distilled water. If you're feeling adventurous, (and I have done this dozens of times) lay half of it in the distilled water. Yes, directly in the water.

Put it in an airtight container and get as much air out of the container as you can.

Check it in three days.

+++++The most important part of this procedure is making sure that the water does not dry up. If it does, your boveda pack may stick to the saucer++++

I have used this procedure many many many times, and my boveda packs are fine and dandy.

Jaybird, I completely apologize for hijacking your thread. I just realized that that's what I may have done. Please except my apologies.

Instead of the shot glass, I wet sponges with dw to increase the surface area

So it works? I've got about a dozen paks of various RH and they are sitting in a small tupperador where they feel like a dried potato chip.

I thought that they were never suppose to touch water?

Jay,

Did you get a chance to try out your experiment yet?
