I would never use a thread title like this without first speaking directly via telephone to the company, which I did yesterday. I have a 10-pack of their 8 gram 62's that I am 99% sure are either defective or mislabeled. They insist it is my hygrometer, which is working just fine. Initially buds were jarred after normal drying time, which for me in Winter is 4 days...about a week during Summer when indoor RH is higher. The following day, hygrometer read 78%!. I of course removed packet and began slow-drying with lid removed. I then tested my hygrometer, just in case...worked fine. I then placed a Boveda packet *all by itself in a 1 quart mason jar, within 30 minutes the RH went from 40 to 80%.
Boveda insisted they have seen hygrometers perform up to 25% off. Yet, I can pick up a bud and guess within 3% what it's RH is...that's how long I have been curing. I have now stabilized my jars at 63% using my own difficult method, which was why I decided to try the packets to begin with.
I could take pics all day long to demonstrate, if I toss another 62 into my 63 stable jar it will go up to 65 within an hour...I tried that as well already.
Boveda just doesn't want to admit they had a quality control issue.
