Boveda
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Boveda packs?
Remove the sealed wrapper, place the pack into your airtight storage container (jar, humidor, etc.), then seal. The pack will immediately begin controlling humidity.
What RH level should I choose (58% vs 62%)?
Use 58% RH for a slightly drier feel, better for flavour or frequent opening; 62% RH helps preserve stickiness, terpene retention, and is better for slightly damper environments.
How many Boveda packs do I need for my jar, humidor, or vape storage?
It depends on the size of your storage and how often it is opened. A tight seal helps. Choose the largest pack that fits without cramming; bigger container = more or larger-sized packs.
When should I replace my Boveda pack?
Replace when it feels stiff or rigid, no longer soft; or when humidity starts drifting outside the RH that the pack promises. Usually after a few weeks to months depending on usage.
Can Boveda touch dry herbs (or cannabis/tobacco) directly?
Yes. Boveda packs are food-safe and meant to be placed directly among your herbs / contents safely; they only release water vapour.
Will Boveda make my contents too damp (over-humidify)?
No. Boveda is designed as a two-way RH control: it releases moisture only when needed and absorbs when too humid, so it maintains the set RH level and prevents over-humidification.
Does using Boveda affect aroma or terpenes?
Boveda helps protect aroma and terpenes by keeping moisture stable. Some users notice less sharp smell initially because volatile compounds are preserved rather than evaporated, which is a desired effect for keeping flavour.
What size Boveda is best for UK climate / frequent opening of storage?
In the UK, with humid summers and dry winters, a pack rated for your container size with RH 62% helps. If you open frequently, use larger capacity / more packs to compensate for air changes.
Where can I buy genuine Boveda packs in the UK, and how can I tell they’re authentic?
You can buy genuine Boveda from authorised UK sellers such as specialized vape stores, tobacconists, or trusted online retailers. Authentic packs have clear batch numbers, seals, correct packaging, and RH label. Avoid overly cheap or ambiguous sources.
Does UK climate affect how often I need to replace Boveda packs?
Yes. In regions with seasonal changes (high humidity in summer, dry in winter), Boveda packs may work harder & need replacing more often. Also if your storage container is opened frequently or not well sealed, lifespan reduces.
