boveda paks expiration

jj20030

just curious if the large boveda paks stay good in the cellophane as long as not opened for years or do they start to get hard after a certain time?

I think as long as they're sealed in the original packaging they're good. But, if they do get hard and stay that way for more than four hours, call a Doctor.

Dying to be the troll of the week aren't you? LOL
I have some in the original cello, but I put them in a ziplock to be sure. The original does not seem to sturdy.

I know I saw somewhere that they do have an expiration date. I vaguely remember maybe 2 years in the cellophane. Might have been on Boveda's website.

I recharge my Boveda packs in Tupperware with a damp sponge with distilled water.  I know some folks just dunk them in water for a faster recharge. If you have a scale, you can weigh the packs to check their condition. Recharging the 60 g packs at 40 g seems reasonable.

+1 for this.  I toss my older Boveda into a Tupperware container with a small dish of distilled water.  I takes a bit to get them fully recharged, but when they're done they're good as new.

Takes me about 5-7 days to recharge em, same as with the small travel ones works great

I just toss them right in the distilled water in a Tupperware container.  Works great, never had an issue.

I forgot about one while doing that and when I found it it looked like a water balloon.

Lol still works.

2 days on the counter had it back to normal.
