Rico Revitalizer Packs

There's no shortage of material on this product on the bboard, but I can't seem to find information, here or elsewhere on which humidty level pack is best.

Is this personal preference...a product of where one lives and the humidity there..seasonal...something else that's, ideally more formulaic than people's opinion?

I use the 58% pack.

Anything above this and you might start having mold problems, especially if you don't play some of of these reeds regularly.

According to Rico: Reed Vitalizer is offered in three relative humidity levels, for various needs: 58% (stable storage), 73% (requires minimal wetting), and 84% (ready to play).

I use the middle one and it works well. I have not had any issues with it.

I agree that the two lowest are the best to use. You can just keep them in an air tight freezer or sandwich type bag kept air tight.

I'm using these now instead of the Rico branded ones:

They work practically the same, and a pack of ten is $10.
