Yes I agree. the container probably works fine but so would any other container I think I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Other containers work just fine, I've been doing this for a while now with smaller quantities (up to an ounce) and I'm perfectly happy with the results. Those packs are made originally for humidors, so obviously other container types can benefit from them.

I may actually try to modify a container to hold the pack like the C-Vault does as it seems like a cleaner design than just sticking a pack in there, but it's obviously not strictly necessary.

i'm planning on getting some but the packs only. Does the packs leak or have an odar? Should I just place it on top in the glass jar?

The packs do not leak, and have no odor. I'm not sure whether it would be a bad idea to have the packs in direct contact with the buds, though. I use a container large enough to keep the pack off to the side, just in case direct contact causes some sort of wicking action (I doubt it, though).

Update!
I have been using the X-Large unit for about 3 months now and love it! It keeps my weed at exactly 62 % humidity it seals nicely and there is no light penetration. I would say you could do this with any sealed container using the packets but for long term storage I think this is that way to go as you don't have the light penetration that jars have.

So is the C-Vault just an airtight stainless steel container with a little shelf on the underside of the lid for the humidity packs? For curing I think even a 5 gallon bucket would work fine. IMO it will be lightproof enough and airtight enough for curing short term, but maybe not for long term storage. I harvest enough to fill about 6 of the half gallon jars at a time, so I don't think I'll be using 6 packs to cure every time. I would rather just cure it all at once then divvy it up into the jars and vacuum seal.

Is there any guide to how many packs would be needed for x amount of product?

So 2 per 50 cigars. I'm going to just guess that a cigar is about a quarter, so that would be 2 packs per 12.5 oz or about 2.5 per pound.

You could probably just wrap some cheesecloth loosely around the pack if it were a concern.

The Humidors that I've seen for Cigars, have hook and loop material, to attach them to the inside of the lid.

My Q would be; Are they the same as used to store cigars?

Just went to an online cigar supplier. They sell the Bovida's for cigars. Nothing mentioned as to 62%,,, only 70-75%. They also sell another brand of 'solution' to rewet?, the humidistats. Wondering what the deal is?

Some of these look like furniture?
