I've used humidpaks in my cases for years and have yet to have one leak, so am sorry to hear you've had this trouble. I'm delighted to say that here in central Ohio we have just officially transitioned into dehumidifier season!

Some 'convenience' items come at a high price. You're lucky the only expense was the cash outlay up front, and not a repair for damage to your instrument. Never trusted that particular product (many do), never will. |

I have used Humidpacks for the past two ears and haven't had a problem
I just purchased a new J-45 this weekend and I found Gibson provides Humidpacks in the guitar case! Bonus, one less to buy |

As I’ve posted several times, I get it that there are others who have used Humidipaks ‘for years’ with no problems. That’s great, and I’m genuinely happy for y’all.
However, exactly like the binding on Martin guitars built since 2012, I strongly recommend not to count your chickens, and to check the condition of the paks you’re using regularly. My twelve Humidipaks went in the garbage, and I won’t be spending my money on any more. I think we’ve beaten the topic to death now, I’m gone.

So sorry to hear about the leak issue, JayBee. I don’t blame you for bailing on them. I’m another one who has yet to have a problem but I buy directly from Boveda, replace them every year and live in a climate with very few extremes. I’m not saying that it couldn’t happen, just that I think that many factors play into the mix. No system is perfect and quality control issues happen.
I hope that you find a system that works for you. Best, Jayne |

Best, JayBee. As I said in post #19, I think we’ve beaten this topic to death now - I’m happy for the thread to die.
