Normally if u leave the dessicant box (aka thirsty hippo) in an open area, the bottom empty area would fill up wif liquid (humidity from the atmosphere) very quickly, even before a few weeks.
But if u leave the dessicant box in an air tight dry box, it could probably take months before u actually see liquid in the bottom empty area (bcos it only absorb the humidity on the occasions u open the cabinet to take out and in your lenses and camera).
Which is why this cheapo method saves a lot of money (but gotta work a little bit harder):dunno:
