The packets will be fine alone as long as you have the right amount for the size humi you have. The thing that comes with the humi is basically junk, I wouldn't use it but if you do, remember to use distilled water only/but are bovedas alone ok, or should i use the humidifier that was included in my humidor as well??
I dont know exactly what humidifier came with your humidor, but I will guess that it is a green florist foam filled humidifier. You can use Cigar Caddy humidor solution to charge the humidifier. Then you can put 69% Bovedas in there to help regulate the humidity. That combo works very well if you like your cigars at about 70%. if you like your cigars at 65%, then you ditch your foam humidifier, and buy a humidifier that has 65% beads in it. then you put a couple of 65% bovedas in the humi too. you will not be wasting $. the products work very well together. if your beads run a little dry, the bovedas take over.but are bovedas alone ok, or should i use the humidifier that was included in my humidor as well??
I don't think they would be able to absorb fast enough to keep up. It took a couple weeks for humidity to come down form 68 to 65 when I switched from 69 to 65 Bovedas in my tupperdore.Thanks! I guess I was just looking for a way to make them last longer without recharging them since they can absorb or release humidity to keep a constant rh I figured it might work. I have a couple 65 bags on their way so maybe ill toss them in and then read the hygrometer then add a small piece of florist foam in a baggy with a hole in it and see if it keeps the same rh just for the hell of it.
^^^^What he said ^^**So, it'll work, but not with 65's.. . Most humidity products produce 70% rh... so the bovedas will just won't be able to keep up with that much extra.. my 69's have trouble keeping up with 70% beads.. And, florist foam can dump MASSIVE amounts of rh.. I'd only use that to season a humi, or recharge a boveda in a ziploc or something.
