If using vacuum you do not need a "oxygen absorber".
And don't run to full vacuum, you will end up with a brick !
Either shut the machine off early or put the buds inside a freezer bag and evacuate as much air as possible. Then put that inside a vacuum bag.
The remaining air in the first bag will keep the vacuum from crushing/compressing the buds.

I don't think that freezing would stop an oxygen absorber from working. It's basically ferris metal powder inside of the pack, it absorbs the oxygen and makes rust.
I'd still use one in the packages, it's cheap insurance

i got it figured out earlier just took a bit more reading. vacuum seal jars to full vacuum add oxygen asorber to get any remaining oxygen that could degrade thc. refrigerate to prevent the bacteria that causes botulism as the moisture content of the flowers is high enough to invite that in a no oxygen environment. dont freeze refrigerate so as not to damage the trichome heads.

i did some reading on that subject as well, sometimes companies lie about how many cc there oxygen absorbers are its best to weigh them from my understanding i bought some that weighed 10 grams, they claimed to be 500 cc probably overkill there very cheap.
