I recommend labeling and rotating packs once a month or every few weeks for rehydration rather than direct contact to water where mold grows from spores on the towel, bag, table,etc. Just leaving them next to a cup of distilled water in an air tight bag/container will puff them back up in a few days or so. You can also measure the weights so they match the gram count on the label (8, 60, 320, etc).
Did you plug your drain in the wineador? It sounds like you didn't. I noticed a big improvement when I covered mine just with electrical tape top and bottom. I have not had to rehydrate my boveda packs for a little over a year now.
Yes, my wineador is fine- a steady 62%. These packs came from my four humidors. They are the 50$ variety and so, are leaky. The humidors hold up most of the year, but tend to get a little dry around Feb-March.
Woaw! I didn't know you could do this! So by pouring water over these packs, they go back to the way you bought them? Does the water not wreck the outside packaging of the Boveda pack? And does it let out humidity as well as it did when it was first purchased?
Ok, thanks. And when you re hydrate the pack, do you find that it hydrates at the same humidity that it did before? In other words, does a re hydrated 69, continue to humidify at the same level? Have you checked?
I thought these packs were to take the moisture out of the weed. So why is adding water to them making them better? I thought the contents inside absorb moisture? Please explain. thanks.
I fill the Tupperware container full of water and let them sit in until they reach the 60grams that they come with or 8grams for the smaller pouches. Yeah whatever method works right. Winter is the worst and heating dries out these pouches pretty fast.

Ok, gotta. Gotta rehydrate a few. Thanks man, for not making them all bloated like some others. I don't want moldy weed!
I think you need to use 62% for what you are trying to do.
😳

It does not damage the integrity of the pack.

@@sydneycarton2974 Yes, due to the pores on the skins of the packs, they are designed to release only the humidity that is listed on the front.
Does it have to be distilled water, great video
Yes, it does
@@rrketc2 thank you
I did this twice . First time worked great . Second time I started to notice green color only on the outer package . What the hell hooenee ? Mold?
Toss them and buy new ones. No need to risk losing your precious stash.

They absorb and release humidity to maintain the rh... for weed you want 62 rh and for cigar, you want 65

I weighed 2 fresh packs and both were different weights fresh out of the bag
can i use normal water?
No. Distilled water only.
Bro these things are like $5 a pack. Don’t you spend more than that on certain cigars ? Your talking $20 for 4pks every few months
