Recharge Boveda Pack Right

- I sure you, your humidity percentage on Boveda pack will not change and will be remaining exactly what it says on it. Every single pack have a different mixture of chemicals in them, so for that reason it will remains same so you will not be able to overcharge your packs too!!! I been asked that many times... My method will not ruin paper on the pack !! Unless you not using distilled water. It's very important to use distilled water, wash your hands in prior to that and wipe your surface where you placing your wet paper towel. You want to make sure you keep it clean as possible, because you will have a chance to ruin everything and possible grow mold. I did this many many times and mine still looks the same and work great! You can also use different method by simply filling your tupperware with a distilled water and placing your packs above water, on supports so it will not touch water. Container have to be sealed, it will work but going to take much longer..
So 3-6 days, depending on how dry. I will use distilled water. FYI, a small water distiller for around $100 is well worth it for growers. I make a lot of distilled water, use it for germinating, mixing sprays, humidifiers and foggers for terrariums, and to clean the calcium and lime buildup from hard water out of my coffee maker with descaler. Now I have another use for it. Thanks!
Thanks for the advice!
Very helpful. Thank you very much!
thanks a lot man.... good tips right there.... cheers from Brazil!
Trying this right now!
This works and is how I recharge my packs.
Another good tip is to run the pack under a tap quickly (the pack should go a darker brown) so its damp before you wrap it in the paper towel.
Note: I have tried the "place Boveda over water in a container" method too with little success.
You cannot do this because tap water have all kind of crap in it and minerals. It can get moldy
@@IvanRossS Good point.
I’ve personally never had an issue with filtered tap water.
Thanks bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Wow your a cigar superstar!!! Nice cases!!!! And I find boveda to be decent. Doesn’t get me wrong not bashing them I use them. I was thinking about just buying humidor for my harvest.
excellent video.
I did 2 very dry small packets in a paper towel and they were good in 24 hrs but I'm leaving them in a container to see if the osmosis method works to finish them off while keeping the outside dry
I'm a first time user never seen or heard of this before but I found a pack in the package I got so the rest of the package is gone all but the small brown package and I watched the video now I see it is not a seed to grow and it helps with moisture I'm wrapping wet paper towels around the small brown package and I put it in the baggy to rehidrate.lets hope everything goes well
Go to the best Heartfelt silica beads, they tell you to Recharge them. Floral gel does not pull excess humidity. They are NOT two way!! www.heartfeltindustries.com/categories.asp?cat=Humidity+Beads
Good tips!, thanks!
Oh My God!!!
You realy like your sigars, thanks for the tips💪👍
I use a glass food container with a 4-sided lid seal. No leaks!
That's works too, just about the same. I'm using my ziplock bag technique for a couple of years now, never failed !
You don't even need a container. Just a microfiber cloth fold it over a couple of times and you're good to go in two days.
Soil moist is one of the names for the beads, they swell alot all you need is a few, do not fill it up with beads, dont even put enough to cover the bottom believe me they will swell dramatically
Does the humidity level remain the same after being recharged?
Daniel Corrêa yes they does !!! It stays perfect at 69 or whatever percentage you have. But I just want to be honest and tell you that since the last time I recharge mine I started to notice increase... by few percent. But I already recharged them like five or more times!!! And they were perfect just not until the last time I did it.....
@@IvanRossS Nothing wrong with re-hydrating them this way, although I prefer to fold the paper towel and place it at 1 side of the bag, and the boveda pack on the other side, not touching each other. You'll get a lot more uses this way. Also it is possible to over hydrate them. Only way to know when you're at the proper % is to use a digital scale to weigh the packs.
Nothing my case I don't know what I did wrong
Mike G Dude. He answered yes but after going for several more and noticing a change he came back and edited it. Very valuable info. Quit thread shitting.
@@lordgarth1 "Thread Shitting" lol Nice I'm dying
Tanks good man !!
Damn !!! I’ve spent thousands on buying new ones 🥺
Well now u know. You can't refill them forever. I do about 5 times and getting new ones
You can refill them forever.... And btw thats not the "right way" to do it
What? How and my god
Beyond stupid lol
I can see how this procedure would recharge it's ability to raise the humidity in a container, but after doing this how is it's capability to lower rh effected? If anything I'd think wrapping it in a damp towel 3 days would completely destroy its moisture absorbing capability.
You over thinking lol... been doing it for all this time . Still work.
@@IvanRossS Have you tested the packs with a reliable hygrometer to be sure?
Tried this, got bags of water.
Whats your favorite cigars?
Crosby's Corner don't have one. Thats why I have some many so I can pick for my mood. Everyone taste are different. But I can Tell u one thing. I don't like Cubans... not worst they price
I think my favorite currently is the Liga Prigava #9. But like you say, having a selection of many gives you options. I like your style. I've had a few Cubans which were very good, but they were given to me.
Crosby's Corner I like all Oliva, Alec Bradley cigars are good too and Bavia probably the most cheapest out of all good cigars I have tried. At this moment I'm on my way home and I'm smoking Black Pearl, I had it in my humidor for about a year and now it tastes amazing before I totally hate it.. and I got the whole box of those
Is it possible to overcharge the pack? Like will it give off more humidity than normal?
No of course not :) it will only take what it can .
How about smarter not harder. He went off track right after filling the Tupperware with distilled water. Ditch the paper towels and Ziploc bags. 1) Put something in the Tupperware to create a 'moat'. I use one of those cheesy humidification blocks that always come with medium or large size humidors. 2) Fill moat with distilled water.3) Set your Bovedas on top of that standoff. I use one of those cheesy humidification blocks that always come with medium or large size humidors. 4) Snap the lid on top and set it under the bathroom sink for a week (so you'll forget about it).5) Retrieve from under the sink a week later and your Bovedas will be topped off to the max.For those chucklenuts who don't know how Bovedas work - the solution used in the packs is different for each rated % humidity. The % of humidity the pack will try to achieve isn't affected by how full they are (unless they're dry). The puffier the Boveda, the longer it will work to hold humidity at whatever % it was designed for.
Jose Castilla you referring to me like I'm dead or something lol:) I'm here!!! I have a lot of comments that Boveda pack coming in the contact with wet paper towel and for some reason its bad... But listen, I did this many, many, many times and it works every time!!! Your way will work just the same, this is just the way how I do it ! I have Boveda packs that are 2 years old that still like new !!
Glad to hear you're still with the living. My 'chucklenuts' comment was geared toward the skeptic who made the negative comment about recharging the packs.I had one of my packs touch the water during recharging and it came out looking damaged. It's possible the paper towel method doesn't damage the packs, but I think you can avoid having to repeat the method if the pack doesn't charge adequately with a paper towel on the first try.Mine are used in conjunction with Hydra electronic humidifiers. That lets them serve as virtual accumulators - they basically act like reserve humidity waiting to be unleashed if the power goes out while I'm out of town. I have a UPS for short power outages.

You should do a video and show us your method 🤙
No, the paper towel (I use a micro fiber cloth) is easier and faster than the 2 plastic container method. I've tried several methods and the damp cloth way is much easier and faster, I only need 48 hours with the microfiber cloth. Some people completely submerge them in water and that's definitely not the way to do it because then you have to let them dry out. Trust me it's way easier to just dampen a microfiber cloth then it is to find and use two containers and wait a week.
No, No, No. It should be obvious that the packs, although semi-permeable, are NOT made for direct contact with water.
I did this many, many times. Works perfect
This does work! I've done it several times too.
Agreed; they should not come into direct contact with water. That's why I developed a 'moat' method of recharging them. After two years, I'll replace them because the outer covering can discolor and appear worn.
Large bóveda one same thing? The biggest one I mean.
Yes of course. It's been a years since I posted his video and I'm still using my method and it works just fine. You still have to replace your Boveda packs after about 3-5 refill using my method. But I did switched to Crystal's little jars. And I just refilling them with propylene glycol liquid. And on top of that I have couple of packs of Boveda in my humidor.
@@IvanRossS thanks! 👍🏽
Boveda packs aren’t expensive. I’d rather just put new packs in when they need replacement.
When u have 15 of them is getting pretty expensive every time you have to replace them..
It’s not special chemical to get salt. Can you can just fully soak it in the water for like five days
No lol.... u gonna damage paper ! And there is some chemical in there. Not sure what kind. No salt - What u talking about ?
Inside is salt. No won’t damage paper. Ur incorrect
I soak mine in distilled water, alot of people do. 3 days and it's full, just pat it with a paper towel and let it air dry for an hour before putting it back in the humidor. The paper will look bad while it's wet, but is totally fine when it dries

Careful.. I ruined one I recharged
How
@@MrWontstopthefunk I left it in the water to long..got too fat then let out more humidity....you can just leave it out after thought to get it back to size
J S yeah I screwed up mine by getting it wet then trying to break up the crystals inside. Tore right through the membrane. Put some tape over it but might have to toss it out. Waiting to see if it’s going to seep out or what. Next time I won’t manipulate it while wet at the least
lies
Lies what ????........
Great way to damage your cigars.
I been doing this for over three years, my cigars just fine believe me!! I know what I'm doing!!!

You have fallen for B.S. marketing. CigarObsession did this for a decade, then went to Heartfelt, different and better now has a large Double door Reagan humidor with auto cooling, heating and two way humidity control Go to the best Heartfelt silica beads, they tell you to Recharge them.

lmao these dumbos overly concerned with storing cigars are always on the rag @@IvanRossS
