How Does Boveda, the Humidity Control Pack for CBD Hemp Flowers, Work?
At the heart of the Boveda 62 pack is a two-way humidification system based on the natural principle of osmosis. Each pack contains a blend of natural salts and pure water, separated by a permeable membrane. This setup allows Boveda packs to either add or remove moisture to maintain an environment at a 62% relative humidity level.
This humidity level is optimal, ensuring CBD flowers retain their texture, color, and most importantly, their potency and terpene profiles. Moreover, by preventing an overly humid environment, the pack significantly reduces the risk of mold and bacteria growth, thus securing the quality and longevity of the product and guaranteeing an exceptional consumer experience.
How to Use the Boveda Humidifier Pack?
Here's a step-by-step guide to maximize the effectiveness of your Boveda pack and ensure ideal preservation of your cannabis flowers and resins.
- Open the Boveda pack: Remove the pack from its protective packaging. No pre-activation is needed, the pack is ready to use as soon as it's opened.
- Place the pack in your storage container: Introduce the Boveda pack directly with your CBD hemp flowers or resin in a humidor, airtight box, or any other storage container. The humidification system will work to regulate the interior environment.
- Close the container: Ensure that the container is properly closed to create an ideal preservation environment. The Boveda pack acts by regulating the humidity inside the container, keeping it closed allows for maximum efficiency.
For optimal use of the Boveda humidifier pack, it's crucial to follow a few simple guidelines. First and foremost, never pierce the pack. Its special membrane is designed to regulate humidity effectively. Regarding the pack's placement in your container, it does not need to be in a specific position, but ensure it's not completely covered or crushed by the flowers to ensure optimal air circulation.
Finally, it's advised not to mix different humidity levels in the same container and avoid using Boveda with other humidification products.
When to Change Your Boveda Pack?
The Boveda pack should be replaced when it becomes hard to the touch. Its lifespan in an airtight container varies between 2 to 4 months, depending on the moisture content of the flowers, how frequently the container is opened, and storage conditions. An unopened pack has a shelf life of up to 2 years.
Which Size Boveda Pack to Choose?
- The size 1 Boveda is designed to preserve up to an eighth of an ounce (about 3.5 grams) of flowers, perfect for small containers.
- The size 4 can preserve up to a half ounce (about 14 grams) of cannabis, suitable for slightly larger containers.
