Boveda Humidity Control
Get Boveda Humidity Control sachets from Cafe420 and keep your dry herb and tobacco products fresher for longer.
Boveda Humidity Control Sachets will add or remove moisture within your storage container to maintain a specific relative humidity level. This helps to maintain optimum humidity to prevent mold from forming or to prevent products or equipment from drying out in dry climates or conditions.
Boveda is made from a combination of salts and purified water, so it is completely food grade safe. It contains unique ingredients and a thickening agent within a reverse osmosis membrane which produces 2-way humidity control. It will lock in the moisture content by regulating the humidity inside your container. With that moisture locked in, weight loss is eliminated due to moisture evaporation, helping to maintain quality. This product will enhance color, aroma and taste of dry herb or tobacco products.
Boveda is the safest way to keep your product fresh and maximizes Terpenes. It is recommended drying herb to around 11% before placing into airtight containers with Boveda packs.
What is a Boveda sachet generally used for?
Boveda’s humidity control packages can be used for protecting electronics, premium tobacco products, food, musical instruments, wooden devices and medication.
How long does a Boveda sachet last?
The life of a Boveda product depends on how hard it has to work. The more moisture it has to give up, the harder it has to work and the more it takes away from the product’s life span. You’ll know it’s time to replace Boveda when it’s no longer pliable.
It’s impossible for Boveda to over-humidify beyond the RH on the pack. That’s why our usage instructions talk about minimums, not maximums. There’s no such thing as using “too much”. More than the minimum will just last longer.
When do I need to replace my Boveda?
Boveda doesn’t need to be activated or maintained. Once the Boveda pack becomes rigid, it’s out of water and needs to be replaced. This could mean weeks to years, depending on the package or container, how much the container is opened/closed and the ambient environment.
Humidity Levels for South Africa
Below are recommendations for the various humidity levels in South Africa.
58% Relative Humidity
- High humidity climates like Cape Town (Winter) or Durban (all year)
- Vaporiser users seem to prefer the 58%. Apparently it makes it smoother.
- 58% will be more effective at dehumidifying the jar
62% Relative Humidity
- Low humidity climates i.e Johannesburg (All year) Cape Town (Summer)
- 62% will be more effective at replenishing moisture in the flower
69% Relative Humidity
- Vey low humidity climates like Pretoria (all year) or Limpopo (all year)
- 69% is meant for cigars but is also recommended for dryer conditions
Dry herb will react differently to the different relative humidity (RH) levels. Testing the various levels is the best practice.
Never mix different RH levels in the same container. Packs will work against each other and run out quicker.
