re- seasoning a dried up humidor ?
Options
i have a dried up humidor i would like to get back in use, i've had a plastic tub of distilled water in it for a few days now and the RH level of course is slowly rising, i plan to use the boveda 65% humi packs in this humidor and have it between 65-68, currently the RH is up to 58% so at what level should i swap out tub and put in the humi packs ? right at 65 or ... ? anything helps thanks Jack, PA

What size humidor? Are you reading off analog or digital?

Make sure you're using a calibrated digital hygrometer, get it to the point where it holds at 70% solid, then replace the dish with Boveda packs.

humidor is advertised as i think 150 0r 175 count but more like 75 to 100 sticks, using a xikar digital hygro, i calibrated it before i started with both the salt test and the boveda calibrating kitdanielzreyes:What size humidor? Are you reading off analog or digital? -
i would get it above 75% before you bring it back down to the 65% that you want it

I did this myself with a small twenty count from my Pops years ago, used the Boveda Seasoning Packet and it was PERFECT.... never had an issue with it once after the Boveda Seasoning packet...now I maintain it with 70% Boveda Packs.

58 is a bit low. Wait till its 70+ then you can swap it out.kos22us:
