Hey all. So I just purchased a sistema storage container, some 69% boveda packs and a govee temp and humidity hygrometer. How do I go about getting this ready to put cigars in it?
also purchased some Spanish cedar trays to hold my singles. do I need to wipe them down with purified water? i have one of the govees in a small 25ct humidor and its reading like 55% humidity. do I need to calibrate it? if so how?Nothing, other than wiping down the inside with isopropy, and setting it out in the sun for a day if it has any odor from being new. I bought something similar for traveling with cigars. I just popped the boxes I wanted to take along with a few 62% Bovedas literally an hour after purchased.
Don't make the mistake of feeling like you need to line the inside with any cedar. It's not necessary and won't really give any added benefit. The trays you bought and the boxes the cigars come in are enough. Use distilled water and not purified.also purchased some Spanish cedar trays to hold my singles. do I need to wipe them down with purified water? i have one of the govees in a small 25ct humidor and its reading like 55% humidity. do I need to calibrate it? if so how?
Distilled that’s what I meant. Do I still need to wipe them down though and let them sit in the container with a boveda for a bit?Don't make the mistake of feeling like you need to line the inside with any cedar.

Take a shot glass, and fill it halfway with salt. Add distilled water until you have a salt slurry. Place the Govee and the shot glass in a ziplock bag and wait 24 hours. Should read 75.5%. If not, figure out the difference and adjust accordingly.
Sure! Wiping them down with a generous amount of water and placing them inside while still wet with the Bovedas will help prevent a huge drop in RH when you start adding cigars.Distilled that’s what I meant.
