Glass jar vs plastic containers?
-
The text is asking if utilizing an electric vacuum sealer on a Mason jar filled with cannabis would remove the moisture from the cannabis. The person currently uses 62% RH humidity packs and wonders if an oxygen absorption pack might be more effective than vacuum sealing. They believe that the vacuum sealer removes only the air, not the moisture. They're interested to know if an oxygen pack could help maintain the freshness of the cannabis.

The original text discusses an individual's method of storing cannabis. This person has developed a system over time that involves using vacuum-sealed mason jars with humidity packs, all stored in a specific refrigerator for cannabis. They have a variety of 15 different strains of Sativa and Sativa Hybrid. When they receive a new batch, they put it in a mason jar, add a humidity pack, and vacuum-seal it before placing it at the back of the fridge. This way, it becomes the oldest of its strain. They recently added the vacuum to their process and have noticed that even without it, strains such as Golden Goat and Gary Payton maintain their specific aromas, flavors, and effects.
Another person comments that they also have a substantial stash of different strains. They admit they haven't learned to rotate their stock yet but express interest in trying the vacuum-sealing method mentioned by the first person.

The question is whether using an electric vacuum sealer on a mason jar containing marijuana would remove the moisture from it, given that 62% RH humidity packs are already in use. There's also a suggestion that an oxygen absorption pack might be more effective than vacuum packing. It is believed that the vacuum sealer doesn't take out the moisture, only the air, and there's an inquiry about the effectiveness of the O2 pack in preserving the freshness of marijuana.

I've purchased eight glass jars of one-gallon capacity each for storing my harvests, and another four glass jars, each half a gallon in size, for any residue following my vaping sessions. I also possess a compact plastic vacuum-sealed container for storing the ground material I use, which typically lasts me for a duration of two to three days.

Whatever I am fortunate enough to find while shopping at thrift stores.
-
I'll take glass.
-
I utilize both options.
-
UV-protected glass containers or three-gallon black plastic buckets with twistable Gamma lids are good options. I took advantage of a sale and purchased several from the Infinity Jars website.
-
The question being posed is about the duration for which items are left in a jar, and it's mentioned that both items are being used.

The speaker noted that using both a vacuum and an oxygen absorber simultaneously on the same container is somewhat redundant, as both aim to eliminate oxygen. They acknowledged that they have learned over time, and now store their cannabis in vacuum-sealed mason jars with humidity packs in a dedicated mini refrigerator. They currently possess a variety of 15 different Sativa/Sativa Hybrid strains. Upon acquiring new cannabis, they prepare it (store it in a mason jar, add a humidity pack, vacuum seal it) and then keep it at the back of their refrigerator until it becomes the eldest of its strain. They recently added the vacuum step to their process a month ago, and noted that their cannabis from January 23rd, even without vacuum sealing, still retains its original aroma, flavor, and effects.

I keep glass containers in a chilled cupboard.

The idea of using both a vacuum and an O2 absorber simultaneously in the same jar is considered unnecessary, as both serve the purpose of depleting oxygen. This understanding has been gained over time.
Presently, my method involves the use of vacuum-sealed mason jars, complete with humidity packs, for storing my cannabis in a dedicated mini refrigerator. I have a variety of 15 different types of Sativa and Sativa Hybrid strains in varying quantities. Upon acquiring new produce, I process it (putting it in a Mason jar, adding a humidity pack, and vacuuming) and store it at the back of my fridge until it becomes my oldest stock of that strain. I started using a vacuum only recently, a month ago. Despite not having used a vacuum before, my older strains from January 23rd still retain their original scent, flavor, and effect.
-
I utilize both.

In terms of what? I haven't perceived any significant distinction between plastic and glass. Even if a minuscule amount of substance may seep from the plastic into the herb, I can't imagine how smoking that minor trace could have any significant impact in a single lifetime - and even if it did, it's already too late.
-
UV-protected glass containers or three-gallon black plastic buckets with Gamma seal lids are recommended. These items were purchased at a discounted price during a sale on the Infinity Jars website.
-
In what way are we comparing plastic and glass? I've never discerned any variation. Even if some molecules from the plastic seep into the cannabis, I don't see how it's possible for me to inhale enough of them in a single lifetime to make a difference. But even if I could, it's already too late.

If you were to use an electric vacuum sealer on a jar of cannabis, would it dehydrate the cannabis? I also utilize humidity packs that maintain a 62% relative humidity.
Could using an oxygen absorption pack be more effective than vacuum sealing? It seems redundant to use both vacuum sealing and an oxygen absorption pack on the same jar because they both eliminate oxygen. However, the humidity pack would still ensure the cannabis remains suitably moist. The effect of using an oxygen absorber is similar to purging the jar with nitrogen.
I have experience using both vacuum sealing and oxygen absorbers for extended storage periods, like over a year, and both methods appear to be beneficial, based on the color of the cannabis and the color of the trichomes. For very long term storage, I extract the oil and freeze it.
For short-term storage of a few months or less, I don't see the need for either vacuum sealing or oxygen absorbers.

The statement explains a shift from using mason jars to grove bags in 1 lb and 1/4 lb sizes for storage of cannabis. These bags are appreciated because they maintain a humidity level of 52% for up to eight months. The speaker highly recommends these bags and suggests that, provided the cannabis is dried correctly, it can simply be sealed in the bag and kept in a cool, dark location. After a two-month period, the seal can be opened to a fresh batch of cannabis. The message was originally sent from a mobile app on the speaker's smartphone.

If you employed an electric vacuum sealer on a jar containing cannabis, would it extract the moisture from the cannabis? I currently use humidity packs with a relative humidity of 62%.
Could an oxygen absorber be a superior alternative to vacuum sealing?

For me, it's glass.
