Benefits: - 4g Boveda are for small containers or travel humidors. - For desktop humidors and large containers, you'll want the large 60g Boveda. - Boveda monitors ambient humidity and adds or removes moisture to maintain the RH engineered into the pack to an accuracy of +/- 1%. - Zero activation or maintenance. - Available in a variety of RH levels, Boveda provides a perfectly stable environment for the storage of tobacco, musical instruments, food and herbal medication. - It's time to replace the Boveda when there is very little softness left in the pack. Product Description: *Important: The 4 gram size is typically only used when the 8 gram size will not fit in your container. The 4g pack is not any cheaper to make and it only holds half as much water. Only use 4g packs when absolutely necessary. Within an enclosed container, Boveda monitors the ambient RH (relative humidity) and adds or removes moisture to maintain the specific RH engineered into the pack. Because it's impossible for Boveda to humidify beyond the RH on the pack, it's impossible to use "too much". The life of any Boveda depends how hard it has to work giving up moisture. When there are very few soft spots left in the Boveda, it's time for a replacement.
