Boveda Humidipaks for Cigar Humidors

Boveda is a good regulator, but was not actually designed primarily as a humidifier.

Function

The Boveda system is a disposable humidifier. It contains a salt mixture. The bags themselves consist of a semi-permeable membrane which, according to the manufacturer, is designed to keep foreign substances out. According to the manufacturer, the sachets should be disposed of after 2-3 months. Boveda Humidifpaks absorb moisture and release it again. In abstract terms, the question is what happens when the moisture contained has been released but no new moisture is added from outside.

Application quantity

The amount of Boveda required depends on the volume of the humidor to be humidified. However, this quantity is greater than is often assumed.
It should be noted that a wooden humidor is physically a box. This means that it cannot simply break. For example, it contains no gearing mechanism that could lose its function. If the humidity is too low, too little humidity is simply provided.
The moisture that Boveda can distribute comes from the product itself. If there is no other source of moisture, it is limited accordingly.
Our advice: If you want to use Boveda, please leave our humidifiers in the humidor. These provide the humidity, Boveda regulates in this case.
In reality, the quantities required are quite high. As an example, a small table humidor measuring 26x22x10.5 cm is shown below.
The quantity of 2 Boveda packs shown is obviously too small for this. If you want to humidify a cabinet with Boveda, the quantities used must therefore be high.
