Has anyone heard of or used this ? It was in a email ad I got from Boveda and was wondering if anyone had heard of or used this Vivi for curing ? It says it takes it from weeks to 10 days with a jar and no burping. One of those " if it sounds to good " type things. Would love to hear any comments from the community on this or anyone who's used it. It's not overly expensive to try out but I'd still rather hear from you guys before plunking down $20.

Looks like a new (repackaged/rebranded) maybe faster/stronger absorbing version of Boveda's classic product line. See https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.c...ship-product-to-empower-cannabis-home-growers
I doubt a real cure can be attained in just 10 days and without burping. Bovedas just control (controlled diffusion in-out of) moisture. I presume curing involves diverse biological processes - cellular enzymes plus contaminating fungi and bacteria break down unwanted organic junk from recently dead cells, such as chlorophyl, proteins, nucleic acids/DNA, sugars/polysaccharides, etc. This takes time, more than 10 days. Some gasses and smaller more volatile organic by-products are produced, with these removed by 'burping.'
So I'd presume Boveda made some incremental improvements in drying, what the packs do. But I doubt their claims about curing. Or do they simply (re)define curing as attaining a consistent moisture level?
