I don't use kitty litter or loose beads.
Sorry Bob (2Bs), I just could not take it.
Do you have to soak it in distilled water or put in dry?90+_Irishman said:Myself and many others use a specific type of non-scented kitty litter. It’s silica which is what those beads are made of and a jug of the stuff lasts for years. Exquisicat or something like that, but it’s just straight silica and works great.
Nether, you mist it heavily with distilled water but don’t want it “wet” either is what most do. Personally I got a Tupperware that I snagged from the wife that I drilled holes in the lid and filled it with kitty litter then dumped in some distilled water and mixed it up a bit and then put the lid on and stick it in the cooler. In the wineador I got two ceramic square dishes and dumped kitty liter and distilled water in there and stick it in. After a year or more and especially after a few years it turns brownish but still works. I swap it out occasionally just because. I will take a few pics and post soon to show.Sleddog46 said:Do you have to soak it in distilled water or put in dry?90+_Irishman said:Myself and many others use a specific type of non-scented kitty litter.

For ease of use and reliability I love Boveda. And yes once you buy it once you can just recharge them over and over so they last nearly indefinitely. But, if you have to buy all you need in one go to setup then it’s a large price gulf between boveda and a jug of kitty liter and bottle of distilled water. On the cheap kitty litter is the way to go, but if you don’t mind dropping the money up front Boveda beats all imho.Usaf06 said:heartfelt beads is what i started with but boveda are just to easy to ignore.
Kitty litter works well. Just make sure it’s unscented silica. I used it for years. But depending on the size of your humi you want to use at least a pound. I now have been using boveda. So far so good.Sleddog46 said:I'm cheap so I think I'll get some kitty litter... Thanks
So...I use Boveda, but can't seem to figure out how to recharge them successfully. I've tried putting them in baggies and also a tupperware container with a bowl of distilled water, left it in for over a week with no luck. What am I missing?

It may take longer than a week. Don't wait until they are solid. I have a bunch in my coolers and a bunch in a tupperware container with distilled water. Always some ready to go when I need to switch.gripnrip said:So...I use Boveda, but can't seem to figure out how to recharge them successfully.

I like that idea. More water would equal faster absorption time, probably.jd50ae said:Place a bowl in a larger tupperware. Put distilled water in tupperware, not in bowl. Put boveda packets in bowl not in tupperware. Cover and let sit. Boveda will recharge all on their own.
