The crystals are not really 2-way humidification unless you use two jars, one fully charged and one partly charged. The crystal jars aren't bad, but they're also not ideal unless combined with beads to suck up excess moisture. Boveda packs combine both gel (aka crystals) with beads, so you get that 2-way action. When you see the percentage in a Boveda pack (like 67%) that refers to the beads, witch means they are calibrated to suck up moisture until the atmospheric humidity is at 67%.

On the other hand floral foam is absolute garbage housing all sorts of mold waiting to get on your cigars.
