I understand. I kept thinking about getting one and kept putting it off also. But once I got one it was like why didn't I get it earlier. The bags can be expensive but you can get them on ebay or most discount stores cheaper. Also plan on how you may reuse them and leave a little xtra material on so you can reseal them. Since we are sealing dry goods they are easily reuseable. If you use them for food then you might as well throw them away......or wash them.

Yeah! You may want to wash them if your reusing them as fleshlights

I dig, I have been wanting to get one. But for the moment this will have to do. It does work well for me.

I'm telling ya.........spend the xtra $ and get an electric sealer, its worth it. You won't believe how well they work and they never lose a seal. And think of all the other things you can use it for. Not thinking food here.........more of personal items you want to keep for long term and herb.

I guess I'm doing something wrong. I just checked all 14 1 gallon bags I have in my freezer. All have again lost their seal. I'll go buy some more bags and try it one more time. Might be a bad batch of bags.

I have one of those also. I find that they don't hold the seal very well. Any suggestions to encourage them to stay sealed??

Not sure dude...I honestly haven't had any issues with them holding the seal.

search "Vacuum sealer" and you'll find about 20 threads on the subject. Everything you always wanted to know about sealing snus.

personally for long term storage there is nothing like an electric sealer and a freezer. Good for 5 years easy.

If it helps, I only use regular zip loc bags for long term storage and have never had any problems even when the expiration date is from long ago. For short term I just leave it out or in the fridge. I have left snus out for a week at the office and have never had any problems. I think the key is just not to let your snus get hot for long periods of time. Snus does not store well in the car.

Storage and Vacuum Seal on a budget

I saw the video on vacuum sealing your bags on SnusCentral. I just bought one of the Ziplock Starter kits and some extra bags. This thing is f***in' awesome! I spent less than $6 on the starter kit and the extra bags. Now all my snus is vacuumed sealed for optimal freshness! I strongly recommend it to yall!

Containers Update...

~
My freshvac PRE containers arrived in good condition via FedEx late yesterday afternoon.
They came by Ground even though I had paid for Express Saver; waiting to hear from freshvac about the screwup since shipping was almost double for the Saver!!

Opened up a set of each, square and rectangle. Vacuum-sealed each one for about an hour; there were no problems. (The sealed containers still have a full vacuum seal this morning.)

Filled the biggest container (12.7 cup/3 liter square) with 17 unopened cans of snus with some jiggle room to spare; could still fit in 4 of the smaller mini cans with no problem. They've been sealed overnight, and still have a full seal this morning. I foresee no problems with them. Now I can combine the 2 containers of pre-PACT opened cans and save a little fridge space.


There are some differences between the PRE and PROfessional containers:

• PRE containers are made of 100% BPA-free polypropylene, whereas the PROs are made of Polycarbonate and contain Bisphenol A (BPA) as a key building block
• the PRE containers are not as rigid as the PROs but look like they'll still last a good long time (they're not as rigid but still rigid )
• the freshvac PRE has no warranty, the freshvac PROFESSIONAL has a lifetime warranty (and the price differences attest to that)
• the only extra that came with each set were the soft gaskets that fit on the vacuum lever

Overall, I think I got a pretty good deal on each double set as noted above. YMMV
