Traditional humidifier with Boveda for regulation?

Can't see it being beneficial. The boveda packs are great for storing your smokes in bags but my experience with them in small humis hasn't been great. Try some beads, even a quarter of a pound would be sufficient for your size set up. They are much more precise and virtually hassle free.

Um, No. 4 oz of beads is enough for 2160cu inches according to the Heartfelt caluculator. That's a 15x12x12 humidor a bit more than a 20ct. A 1oz tube would be more than sufficient. But I assumed the OP was looking for a way to use his current Boveda pack.

One problem with many small humidors is the seal. After seasoning leave your hygrometer inside with no cigars or humidification. If the high/low readings are within 5% the seal should be ok.

Bob is wise...read 200 for some reason on this end. Thanks for the fix . The only problem I can see is the constant fight between the two way process of the pack and the possibility of over humidification from the traditional foam. Someone can speak more elegantly on this than I though I'm sure. Good luck.
