D’Addario Humidipak Tip

[ddub]

D'Addario modified the way the Humidipak hangs on the strings, and changed the material that the pouches are made of. I never had the problem, but I switched to the new design. They recommend hanging the Humidipak on the D and G strings, but I have found that hanging it that way makes it a little difficult to remove because the pouches get hung up on the A and B strings, so I drape the pouch over both E strings. The pouch comes in contact with the edges of the sound hole, but not the back of the guitar. I've been doing it this way for a couple of years now and have not had any issues.

I also drape the pouch over both E strings. I find this method makes it much easier to remove without getting hung up on the strings.

FWIW, I put my humidity devices in the accessory box, which is NOT airtight.  The moisture propagates through the whole case just fine over time.  Don't believe me?  Put a raw onion or a clove of garlic in there and see how your case smells a day later....  There is no risk of leakage directly into or onto my instruments.  For my Taylor guitars with cutaways, I sometimes put a cylindrical humidifier (sponge in a Crystal Lite drink container wrapped in my strap or a cloth) into that void as a supplement when it is really dry, but not always.
