CG420za Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Awe @Deebo420, this might be a bit late. I'm a cheapo bra, i made my own humidipak after speaking to a lady at sturks in town. She said to get a sponge, wet it, squeeze all the excess water and put it in the jar. My RH in my jars were at 56%, 5 days later they were at 66% took the sponges out and a week later they're hovering @ 62/63% The sponge was R5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks m8! How'd the sponges hold up? Any dodgy growth? I have one of the little hygrometers which are used in humidors. It is calibrated at 65% by moistening salt in a soda cap and shoving in a ziplock bag. Seems to lineup with your 66% sponge readings. I wonder what would be the best bet at not absorbing scent and flavour, as some peeps say the humidipaks do... perhaps need to scour some cigar forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brett Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 CerealKilla[/member], do you put bag and sponge in or just sponge, sorry if question sounds dumb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 CerealKilla[/member], do you put bag and sponge in or just sponge, sorry if question sounds dumb... Yeah I was wondering the same thing, what purpose does the little jiffy bags have in this scenario Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Awe ouens! It actually worked befuck hey narnia[/member]. I got the advise from a lady that works at Sturks here in town. They were outta stock of the boveda's, so she says to me, "take a sponge or some oasis and moisten it, shake all the water out and put it in the cigar box, it's the same thing". My skyf didn't taste funny or different from the jar that didn't need the moisture. Barticle[/member] the baggie is there to keep the moist sponge from touching my buds. The bag is open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG420za Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Left it in the jars until the RH was at 67%. Took about a day to hit 64% and stayed there JustinHemp420[/member] When the RH dropped, I just put it back for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG420za Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Awe JustinHemp420[/member]. TBH, i can't remember. I think it was like R80 each. But if you can wait, get it on wish. Check the links. One is for Bid or Buy and the other is from wish. It's the same thing.
