Humidity regulator: which size should you choose for your container?
Compare Integra Boost 62% pack sizes by flower quantity, taking account of the manufacturer’s conflicting 12 g and 14 g guidelines. The guide also explains how to place the pack and recognise the replacement indicator card’s signal.
The guidelines in this guide concern Integra Boost 62% in the 4 g, 8 g and 67 g sizes for storing flower that has already been dried. For resins and extracts, follow the product’s own storage instructions.
What does a two-way humidity regulator do?
A two-way regulator releases moisture when the air inside the container is drier than its target level and absorbs moisture when it is more humid.
62% refers to the target relative humidity of the air inside the container, not the flower’s water content. The three sizes presented have the same target.
Which size should you choose for your amount of flower?
Choose by the amount of flower per container, not its volume alone. The 4 g, 8 g and 67 g labels identify the regulator size, not the amount of flower to store.
| Integra Boost 62% size | Manufacturer’s quantity guideline |
|---|---|
| 4 g | Up to 12 g in the official FAQ; up to 14 g on the size page |
| 8 g | Up to approximately 28 g, or one ounce |
| 67 g | Up to approximately 450 g, or one pound |
If your quantity approaches the 12–14 g limit, choose the 8 g size as a precaution. Also check the instructions on your packaging.
Integra allows a pack larger than necessary or several packs in the same container.
For 50 g of flower, a 67 g pack is an option. If it is too bulky for your container, you can divide the flower between two containers holding 25 g each, with an 8 g pack in each container.
Prepare the container and place the pack
Use a clean, dry, airtight container.
- Remove the clear protective outer wrapping. Keep the regulator pack itself sealed: do not open or puncture it.
- Place the pack and the supplied replacement indicator card in the same container as the flower. Do not separate the flower from the regulator with airtight packaging.
- Close the lid without trapping the pack.
Keep unused packs in their sealed original outer wrapping until use.
When should you replace the pack?
Replace the pack when the dot on the indicator card turns bright blue. The gradual transition from pink to lavender is normal and is not, on its own, the replacement signal.
Do not decide solely by how soft the pack feels. Also remove and replace any pack that is torn, punctured or leaking.
Useful life depends partly on the initial humidity and how often the container is opened: more frequent opening makes the pack work harder. There is therefore no universal replacement interval.
