Q: Bovedas: constantly charged

[Horsebox]

Great ideas here. I've been looking at the (relative) cost of Bovedas - they're convenient but not cheap. Recharging them now means more money for cigars

Thanks for the tips on the recharge. I'm sure they didn't want us to know that

Hey chico G,

I don't think Boveda packs were intended to be "recharged," but some have reported success doing exactly what you are thinking about - Place a damp sponge along with the Boveda pack in a limited space (tupperware) for a few weeks.

Good Luck, Amigo!

I fully submerge mine for 24 hours then dry... so far, I can get them right back to new and once they have (what I call) released (evaporated water from the paper) - they read as they should!

I've never heard of that! I thought they were supposed to be kept dry. I like it though. Will try with s mini one.

Great advice guys. Thanks

I have mine in rotation too. I put a small tray of distilled water into a ziploc with the bovedas. Leaving the bag in a warm place soon gets the humidity up and the bags re-hydrated quite quickly.

Found this old post a week or so ago.Brilliant it works! I was about to buy a couple of new Boveda packs, by not any longer I'm re-hydrated.

Yes, they'll recharge no problem. I use a ramekin, like PeaJay, but with a soaked sponge in case there are any accidents. Mine take about ten to fourteen days to plump right up.

Sounds complicated to me, mine are in a sealed Tupperware box with an open ramekin filled with distilled water. Job done.

Sounds like the easiest way
