How To Recharge Your Boveda Packs
- Thread starter ISK
- Start date
If any of my paks start going crunchy, I just put them into a separate jar with a slice of apple or potato, or even a bundled up bunch of fresh cannabis leaves. Some of my paks I've had and am still using since 2014, and they work the same as when I first bought them. I never would have expected that when I first started using them.

I had never seen this "Boost" brand.....seems to be a better price point
Do you like them better than Boveda packs...if yes, why?

They seem to work as well as Boveda, at a better price.

I bought a 24 pack of the "Boost" packs to compare to Boveda
@BobBitchen ...thanks for the head-up on this Boost product
What I like about Boost:
* the price - bought 24 for $30 CND (Amazon.ca) ....they sent me bakers dozens, 26 total
* individually wrapped/sealed in good quality plastic
* each one comes with a "replacement indicator" ....time will tell if this worthwhile or not
What I like about Boveda:
* the size...the Boveda is square which fits perfectly inside the lid of the mason jar
Boost is more of a rectangle shape and doesn't fit as well on the mason jar lid....but I did trim one down to fit
So I did experiment on recharging my old Boveda packs
I found the best/easiest method was to wrap them in a wet paper towel (distilled water is a must), then leave for 2 days in a seal container
Then I would let the outside paper pouch to dry for about 2 hours before sealing them up in a ziplock baggie
I believe these are fully restore and as good as brand new, other than they still smell like MJ
cheers

I would think the idea would be to weigh either pack before using and write the weight on the pack eg. 5 grams then when you recharge them weigh again so you have the proper moisture in the pack. I here you can overcharge them and thus you may have a 67% boveda instead of a 62% boveda

So just out of curiosity I see some recharge their Bovida packs but has anyone done testing to make sure they are working properly and bringing RH down to listed amount? I know these come with different RH ratings so do we know for sure when recharged they have the same rating or has it altered it up or down?

the recharged Bovida packs seem to have the same RH rating as far as I can tell...no difference
I really don't see any functional difference between the Boost & Bovida and/or recharged Bovida packs
