BlueberryCookie Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi, Has anyone ever had smell leaking from a kilner jar before? The clip top ones. Is there anyway of stopping this or could anyone recommend a better option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Mix Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Sometimes the rubbers need replacing . Or try Le Parfait they are better imho 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrySHitPeas Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Wide mouth Ball mason jars for the win. No rubbers, no clip tops, no problems. But yeah the rubbers, and they tend to get chips around the metal clips and over time you have a chance of this below happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 they do leak, most definitely. i stopped using them for storage, and now i vac pack everything. i use a mason jar for my day to day buds, much better, they seal for a kick off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueberryCookie Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 It seems like the rubber seals have soaked up the smell, not sure if that's possible. I wiped them with alcohol wipes but still stunk. They're new jars. I'll get some screw top jars as the flat reeks. Definitely gonna look into vac packing most of it. Great idea @badbillybob. This was only my first grow, 6 blueberry cookies & 3 OGC. All the BBC hermied, but I learnt a lot in the process. Thank you all for your comments, very much appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 They definitely can leak , especially the cheaper ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuttyprof Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Relying on the clip to pull the top down can make matters worse, better to push down firmly on the lid while clipping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntz27 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Yeh screw top or dowe egberts jars are good imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Ruderalis Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Use killner jars with a little bit of cling film. Then 3 jars go into travel/storage vacuum bags. Quick suck with the hoover. Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic_roots Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I've only ever used Kilner jars, think they were like £4 each so i don't know if that's cheap or not but i've had no leak issues, only when i pop the top off i get hit in the face with the smell.

latigid aikon Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Put some water in your jars and turn them upside down. If even a tiny bit of water seeps out they will leak the smell of weed too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
