Mason Jars have got expensive

The seals on the lids end up going bad eventually

Pack of 50 seals is like 5$ dont tell me you replace the whole glass when the seal dies

I use them, they're fine. I don't see a difference between mason jars in quality of the bud, but I like that they're lighter, and can store more tightly packed than jars. I use both pretty interchangeably now.

You can buy replacement lids. Plastic with gaskets. They won't wear out.

Yes they do and they are cheap to replace. They are considered consumables when canning.

i just picked up a commercial vacuum sealer ive been vacuum sealing 2 ounces per mason jar seems to work well, i think you could add an oxygen absorber to the jar to remove that last bit of oxygen however if you do that botulism could happen so the jars would need to then also be stored at 3 degrees celsius to prevent botulism in a zero oxygen environment.

Yes I'm idiot

I’ve become a convert to the Grove Bag. After a few runs & cures using them, I do have a gripe though. The ziplock channel (usually the female end) have a proclivity for becoming separated from the bag itself. Kind of a shitter, but as I think @Rsawr once said, the form factor over jars is kinda nice.

Aye I’ve had that too. Since happening I’ve been more careful about not putting so much stress on where the lock meets the bag itself but rather prise them apart on the join. Not had 1 rip since and i use an oz bag for daily opening

Do they seal good without heat

What do you do just dry to around 60% and chuck the bud in and check here and there for mold

I got a habit of jaring at 65% rh I let it dry properly this time

Nah I can still smell my bud through them, especially the strong stuff. Heat sealed I’d imagine no smell but not done it yet

Yeah, no real scent emitted from the bag. I will say that heat sealing is a must. Again, the heat sealing is often what exasperates the zip channel coming apart, so you just have to be careful. Still a little learning curve
