Maybe you're asking for more than the reed holder is designed to do. To keep the Boveda pack from early failure the reed holder will need to be airtight. My experience with the Boveda packs matches SecondTry's, that they last for months. But when I use humidifiers I keep them with in the reed holder I'm using inside a Ziplock or similar bag sealed shut. Maybe enough air gets into and through the reed holder to exhaust the humidifier quickly?

Having reread your original post, I'm not really sure what reed holders you're using. And are you keeping them in plastic bags or containers at all?
