Yep, if your storage vessel isn't airtight, then using dessicant won't
help much 'cause you'll be re-charging it in the oven every few days.
That's why I use these containers to store my camera gear in:

Hermetically sealed and crystal clear (useful for checking the status of
your dessicant -- you can see the blue indicator patch [which turns pink
when the dessicant needs to be re-dried in an oven] right through the
case). I've used these containers for about a decade now, and they're
working like champs.
