    If you ask Bob Luken, he'll say you should just mail the gars with kitty litter.Seriously...I have no idea. I'm with you, they'll at least get cigars to Oregon. You should throw a hygrometer in a bag along with a cheapo and see what RH it reads.

    Id go with the cheapies for shipping! And if you need more let me know... I save pretty much every pillow I get in orders. I can definitely mail you a few. (10-15)

    Yeah the cheapies are just for temporary but I can tell you that they can be recharged and are extremely cost effective for bombs

    Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the following information, but we should not confuse Humipacks with Humicare pillows. Yes, the Humipacks are the same as Boveda and perform the same way and come in different sizes and RH levels. The little water pillows we get from ccom with our orders are Humicare brand water pillows which are refillable and claim on the label to regulate at 67% RH. Which brings up another question. Has anybody tested these with a hygrometer to see if you get the advertised RH? And is it possible to over stuff them with distilled water and get an undesirable and very high RH? (I don't want to threadjack your post. Plus I want to get as much feedback as possible so, I'll start a separate thread for these questions.)

    I use a heartfelt tube with 65% beads along with a few Waterpillow in my humidors. The RH level is always between 65 and 70. I don't know which device causes the fluctuation but I'm okay with the results.
