I have no experience with them.
They arrived today, and they basically feel like water ballons.
Full of squishly liquid.
So, what if these packets were asked to lower the RH to 65, in a 100ct humi sitting at 69rh?
I'm wondering how they'll be able to take in additional moisture, as they feel really "full" to me.
If they were asked to raise the RH from 61 to 65?....heck....no problem there.
Boveda Packets both take in and expel humidity. They feel like waterballoons now but as they expire they will crystalize and harden letting you know it's time to replace them.
I've found they work better than many of the other options (Humidification pucks, crystal jars etc) because of their two way nature.
They're what I've been using in my humidor for a long time.
You can get them in varying levels depending what you prefer to keep your humidity at, and they also make a seasoning variant.
So for your questions for a 100 Ct Humidor, you'd want two 65s.
Remove all other humidification. Set those in there, let it sit for a day or two and it should level out.
