I've been using both Boveda and Integra, I don't notice any difference. Neither takes away smell. I don't combust my weed so I can't comment on the "burnability" factor. If you care about smell and taste, maybe get a vaporizer.
I haven't combusted in over a decade. Brovida ruined my already cured weed. Smell taste and high. It changed the cure to a vinegar smell with no flavor on a fruity hashy strain I'd been growing for years.

Moisty packs make no sense. Jars are air tight. Water isn't resin content. If your weed is too dry to roll (because you grow coco or don't flush enough or something) then put a lemon slice in the jar for a few hours.

I had to select... what is a humidity pack? Because their was no option for "neither" as I have never understood the need for them. I have some weed in jars that have been in there for nearly 3 years and the RH is still at where I set em when I stored them! Seriously, why? Yeah, I get that traditional cigar humidors breathe, so that's why they were made, but jars don't, so it makes no sense to me!
Ground up tobacco leaves have no oils. Intact, jarred Cannabis buds don't need moisty packs unless you grow shitty unflushed dust weed and want to pretend it's dank. There's a direct parallel with legalization (the spread of shitty overfed dust weed) and moisture packs. They literally serve no purpose other than fooling people into thinking your crumble weed has oils in it.

i agree that a closed jar will remain at the humidity its at with no need of a pack

I think the only use for humidity packs is if you are worried about opening and closing a jar of weed that would be affected by the humidity it's opened in over and over. the humidity pack will help negate the gain or loss of humidity so the whole "boveda challenge" really made no sense to me because the two jars of weed are at a proper storing % the whole time. I think the whole use of the packs shouldnt be to re-moisturize buds but instead be to maintain moisture %

I looks like some noob came up with the product because he had crumble weed and still couldn't grow well. I bet after using silica gel packs and failing his Google search led him straight to cigars. Not realising that is a totally different plant he applied the same principle and found his bud was slightly better than crumble weed but still terrible. Over time he learnt to grow better but never learnt to dry or cure just kept on trying to perfect boveda and found a semi workable method which he then saw dollar signs over and repackaged and branded in traditional marijuana marketing. He never once hit on accurate science and sold so much his theory of bud moisture at 60% became a movement that anything under this stops curing.

Hard to think how long boveda has sold for, that guy must be rich probably dosent even grow anymore.

so whats the story with humidity packs; just an easy way to cure them in jar without having to burp the jar after the bud has dried to proper range (60-64%?)
