PHatDriver Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Anyone using vacuum sealing machines for long term storage? Either vacuum containers, jars or bags etc? Mason Jar in a vacuum bag? I'm not talking fridge or freezer here. Just wanna hide them in the bedroom out of the way of snooping eyes and noses. Just thinking sealing in a bag would crush the good stuff huh! Would need some sort of container with the bags. Or do you have another way? All info much appreciated. Thanks peeps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspiration101 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Vacuum seal is good. I just use quality smell proof bags and squeeze the air out whilst sealing closed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettooth Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 those clothes storage bags (vacuum bags) are great, smell proof and keeps air out, works great when transporting weed and smoking equipment about and don't want to make the car/suitcase smell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There's a quite a few threads about it if you have a search (use Google/duckduckgo the sites search engine is a bit shite). Lots of people do it, you just have to make sure its bang on the correct humidity before you seal it, those boveda packs can help with that though. If you put the buds in a takeaway tray they don't get squished. If you've got a vac packer you could also give cobbing a go. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just press the cancel button when you get all the air out, it's easy enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hombre del Monte Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I have to second @MindSoup post. Cobbing weed is the way to go! Not only does it improve over the years!, it's a smoother smoke, tastes better and imho gives an improved high when smoked, but the real beauty is that you can just eat it and get very very high; Nothing like "normal" edibles at all, much more up, clear and euphoric. For hardened smokers like myself (almost 50 yrs) it can change your relationship with the herb. I've gone from up to 5g/day to eating 0.2-1g/day Edited August 30, 2022 by Hombre del Monte 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I use a vac sealer but i dont use the vacuum , as it damages the buds. i weigh out 200 grams at a time, bag it, then use my hands to , as softly as i can, softly expel as much air as i possisbly can, then into the vac sealer and seal the bag up. check its properly sealed, then i then stick it in a cool place, in the dark. it last easily a year. as said it needs to be properly dried first, or it will turn to sh*t. if it isnt sealed properly it will also turn to sh*t 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHatDriver Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) @Inspiration101 Yeah just read about smell proof bags the other day - I think, I'm not sure. I've read they eventually leak, stuff drys out and plastic etc. Mylar inside tho, right? Still not sure what I'm after. I may have a look, ya never know. Thanks brv...

PHatDriver Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) @sweettooth LAUGH OUT LOUD. Sorry, I don't see me transporting any of it but good to know. Maybe I should have mentioned I'm in a 2x2 tent! I just imagined me with 2 to 3oz and a quilt size bag.

I'm under the impression in a proper mason jar for preserving jam etc. will last 2 or more years. After correctly drying and curing, 60%-65% or something. Got quite a few boveda62 and 10 mini round hydothermos. These bovedas, do ya stick them in between ya buds or just chuck it on the top of the buds in the jar? Cobbing weed? Huh - what? Looking that up, one sec. Time passes... Fuck me!.. More time passes... What a nightmare. You should have never told me about this. This is advanced stuff here. Definitely buying a vac and sous vide set up! What can I replace corn husk with? Can ya just straight up eat this stuff and/or smoke it too. This has gotta be done, need to try this. I've never heard of this before, thank yous. I jsut made butter. This will be a bit different, wont it? Decarbing in the oven/frying pan is okay but not really what I'm looking for. Only edibles is not for me. Eating some and still smoking. That's fun. I'm Definitely in but Cobbing sounds risky as tho! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 So many rabbit holes . Yeah you can just eat cob as is, it's almost like eating speedy acid or something, pretty intense stuff if you over do it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna buy some Takeaway containers, boveda 62% in the bottom, fit buds in snug and vac them. All good now. Just thinking those small square glass pyrex dishes with lids would be better for long term storage, huh? Or is storing in glass as appose to plastic just snobbery?

Cobbing is dead straight forward and easy too. There a few things that you need to do but it's all in @highgrowers thread ,"cobbing advdetures" and if you go on IG then there's a huge thread there, Check out Malawian cob fermented weed, or something like that. I've been smoking weed for nearly 50 yrs and eatnig cobbed weed has changed my life for the better; I'm not joking either. You ca smoke it, but you'll use th eamount gram for gram as you would with jar cured weed. the real beauty comes when you eat it. It's a totally different hit and very different from normal edibles. It's a very claer and euphoric high, more like tripping. Plus the cobbed weed will keep for many years and just improve with age! I've recently gone from smoking nearly 5g/day to eating somewhere between 0.2-1g/day and am higher than ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
