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.

    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. image

    +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.

    2 days on the counter had it back to normal.
