Boveda humidpaks 62%, do you use these?

Apparently, you can regenerate them and re-use them, too. As long as they don't impart any funky tastes, I think its got lots of promise, for me.

takes flavor and scent out of the buds.

Care to elaborate on your experiences?

This statement is 100% false. If you jar your bud while drying and it's at or below 52% humidity, you have ruined your product and adding boveda packs will only get the product wet. the smoothness taste and smell are pretty much gone. Boveda packs will retain the flavor and smell for months if stored properly. I have some 2 month old in jars w/ boveda holding steady at 60% the entire time. The key is to not let it get too dry and fry the tips so it cannot dry from the inside out properly. Boveda will NEVER take away smell or taste. If so, document and get some backup because scientifically you are against pretty much all of the consensus and it does not make sense that proper moisture and humidity levels would decrease the smell or taste. I'm betting you let your product get too dry, added humidity packs and it only got moist, not smoother or tastier. Just a guess!

I'll never cure or store without boveda 62. It was designed specifically for cannabis. youtube it. I have boveda in all my jars, and they are crazy dank. Just get air-tight food grade canisters or glass jars with the metal clamp style lid w/ the gasket.

I use them and like them.
I use the ones about the size of a credit card (8gram) I think.
The key is to get your weed properly dried first then add a boveda to the jar.
They don't last forever but for around $1.00 a piece you can't go wrong.

What size jars are you using with your 8g Boveda?

I'm using the 60g Boveda in 1.9L jars, with between 2-4oz per jar. I haven't noticed anything other than perfect curing, so far, from these. The smells and tastes are excellent, and I notice no lessening of them, or any imparting of any other flavours. Pretty much a slam dunk for me.

When do u add them exactly . Is it better more on the wet side or dry side

I'm drying for 5 days (3 days hung, them trimmed and 2 days in paper bags, rotated regularly) then putting them in the jar along with the Boveda. I live in a dry climate, so I cannot comment on a more humid region.

When I put the flowers/Boveda into a jar, they feel more on the dry side on the outside. Stems still bend, not snap.

Im at about yhe same place all my smaller stuffs in the brown bag the bigger stuff still on my rack . I have the minis do u know how much each pack is good for ?

From the Boveda website.
How many Boveda do I need?
HERBAL WEIGHT
7-14 grams
14-28 grams
112-450 grams
RECOMMENDED BOVEDA
4 gram
8 gram
60 gram

And, you can throw your smaller stuff in the jar when its ready, and the rest when its ready. They last a long time, so you're good to go.

I still burp my jars the first bit...mainly to refresh air, and smell them. But mainly, from what I've seen so far, the Boveda just does its job, for me.

I've been using the 62% humid packs for some time now, I use the small ones in a standard mason jar, love them, have some curing now for more than 5 months and still my herbs smell and smoke great, I highly recomend them.

I was thinking of trying the lager ones in regular Mason jars but if you are having good results with the smaller ones I may just go with them. Where do you place them in the jar iv seen some tape it on top and others drop it in beside the flower.

I just drop them in.

Hey bro did you leve the brown paper bag open or u close it after burbQUOTE="KineBoisin420, post: 10543692, member: 699625"]I know I'm resurrecting an old post, but I thought I'd see if more people are trying the Boveda packs these days. I picked up a few of these to try out with my current batch. I just stuck one in a jar yesterday. So far so good, but too early to tell.

In case anyone is interested: I dried mine for 3 days hung, then 2 days in paper bag, then into jar with a 62% Boveda.

I burped today, and will continue to watch these every day to see what happens.[/QUOTE]

if you don't open a jar how long will these packs last for ?

It depends upon how dry it is when I put it in bag...but mostly folded closed, loosely.

I also tumble the contents of the bag every 8 hours or so, at this stage.

Good question...I've only started using them recently, in the last few months...but I've read these can last well over a year.

And you can regenerate the humidipacks too.

yea I use them!!

They'll last 5-6 months or so. They get hard when they're spent (unlike your tool)

They can be regenerated, tho.
