Boveda as primary humidification

As the topic says.... But here is my question.... How many boveda packs would be sufficient to maintain a 150ct glasstop humi? the Boveda site says 4-6+.... but I was curious as to any personal experiences in this topic.

ALSO can you place your cello wrapped sticks directly on top of Boveda packs?

    Are you looking for the bare minimum number? If you want true peace of mind, go get a brick of bovedas and through them all in. And yes, they can even lay on naked sticks.

    I follow the general rule of 1 pack for every 25-50 sticks. But this also depends on the humidity outside the humidor. In the winter I put (4) 75% packs for my 200 count humi. In the summer it is more like (3) 68% packs.

    How many packs you need will depend on how well the seal works by the glass too.

    To answer the second question, I put the packs right on top of sticks that are wrapped and unwrapped. Boveda says you can do that but still, I religiously checked for any sign of mold or damage for about 3 months and nothing appeared. 

    How do make this text turn upside down?

    I haven't yet decided to go the Boveda only route.... my current water cup & Heartfelt beads are doing fairly well for now. lol Thanks though, DZR. :-) just looking for input not handouts. ;-)

    I am pretty sure my seals and glass are fairly decent.... my current system works pretty good. Just prepping myself for a possible change in humidification control. I have a 65% pack in my 10ct herf-a-dor for when I travel... was thinking about doing the same for my main humi and possibly a small cooler for the future.

    When the voices learn to type its time to seek help.  ;)

    I have 6 in my 150 humi right now.  Started buying 10 packs and splitting them up between the humi's, went from there.  Putting more in seems to keep them longer too, figure it can't hurt.
