Snus Storage Questions

[snusgetter]

They look really nice.. I've just been using the ziploc vac deals and they seem to loose the seal so keep us updated on how they work on the long term.

So far, I've had good luck with the Ziploc Brand Vacuum Freezer Bags.

Have over 20 Ziploc gallon bags of snus in the freezer (and a few quart bags), from which I've removed a few cans in the past week and resealed with no problems; hopefully nothing changes in that respect.

I've had problems with the Reynolds/Debbie Meyer Bags (not as rugged and made to be refrigerated, not frozen). I've only had problems with a couple of the Ziploc bags and found it was due to some pinhole caused by something I was trying to vacuum seal (sliced cheese in a plastic container).

If you overstuff the bags, you'll have a sealing problem if you can't find a flat surface for the entire seal area; I've placed a snus can under the seal area itself to bring it more in line with the enclosed cans and ensure a proper seal.


ON ANOTHER NOTE: My freshvac containers are due in today via FedEx (my first time with them). Right now the FedEx site says On FedEx vehicle for delivery. Hopefully I won't have to wait all day ('til 7pm) to find out if I did actually order the wrong sets!!

Does freshvac have a warranty?
We believe that freshvac is manufactured from the highest quality materials,
which is why we stand behind our products.

• freshvac PRE has no warranty.
• freshvac PLUS has a limited warranty.
• freshvac PROFESSIONAL has a lifetime warranty.

The PRE probably doesn't come with any extras!!
Figured I'd save a few bucks with the PRE...........or maybe Penny Wise, Pound Foolish.

Time will tell!!

I din't even see this warrenty info on their site thanks for finding it for their different lines, Now I now what the differences is in them are....

[snusgetter]

I did get the Professional series, I would hope that doesn't matter in getting the extra seals... Keep us posted when they arrive

My original set is a PRO.
The basic difference, I thought, between the PRO and the PRE was with the handles.

Well...
The things we miss when in a hurry:

What are freshvac containers made of?

Hope mine come with the extra seals; the original set came with nothing extra.
(Would be nice if one of the seals would fit my not-sealing container!!)

The store locator for me was useless.


Just got the Fed-Ex tracking number -- they should be here Friday.

The 2 I have also came with extra seals packaged in each container just in case for future use if needed. I think they all come with extra seals that can be replaced..... The FreshVac site has A local store locator, So you can see if there is a store in your area.... I had one 30 min away.... But saved the gas and time and ordred them online....

Glad to hear they are still lasting 2 + years as I didn't know, My guess is they would last even longer with the extra seals that are given with them... They also come with A lifetime warrenty and that info is included.....

Hm.. Interesting..

Going to see if I can find them locally.

Do the seals last a long time?

Do the seals last a long time?

I've had a set of 5 (different sizes) going on 2 years and I've only had a problem with 1 container; don't know if it's the gasket or the container... didn't try to use that container 'til about 6 months ago -- kinda late to chase down a receipt (it was a gift).

How does it suck out the air?

OK -- here's a link to a short video that will give you a better idea:

Seems interesting.

How do I create a vacuum seal?

• Be sure the edges of the lid and container are clean and dry.
• For PROFESSIONAL & PLUS lines: Place the lid on top of the container, matching handles over tabs.
• For the PRE line: Snap the locking handles into place.
• Press lever down into closed position.
• Push firmly on the center of the lid several times to remove the air from inside the container.
• Each successive time you press, more air is forced out of the container, causing the vacuum indicator button to become inverted.

How do I release a vacuum seal?

To release a vacuum seal, lift the green lever. It's that simple.

Satisfied freshvac user..

After the discussion in a different thread, I decided to get more freshvacs online.

After a little research, I decided to get a couple sets from freshvac.com;
I actually use these also for food storage.

I ordered a double set of rectangle and a double set of square (similar to the container you got):

freshvac PRE 12-piece square kit from Freshvac

This 12-piece square container kit features the PRE line from Freshvac.

This kit comes with 6 containers in 3 great sizes—convenient for storing everything from herbs to large fresh produce.

Freshvac PRE is made of BPA-free, #5 plastic, and features Freshvac's vacuum sealing valve that preserves freshness up to 4 times longer than regular airtight only containers.

These durable containers are tools for cutting back on waste--wasteful food spoilage and wasteful disposable containers and plastic wrap--saving you money in the long-run!

Single Set of 3 containers (1 each of 3)

Double Set of 6 containers (2 each of 3)

NOTE: Bottoms are dishwasher safe but I won't chance the tops
'cause of the gasket and the vacuum doohickey.




[The set I received almost 2 years ago as a gift does have one
container that refuses to seal so I just use it as I would a Tupperware]

I found Perfect Snus Storage

Hi all, Just thought I would show everyone who wants to keep their Snus the freshest possible either in the fridge or freezer these Fresh Vac storage containers that are the perfect size.... Each of These Vaccum conatiners holds 10 cans perfectly flat stacked 2 high for a perfect fit... For the price and free shipping these can't be beat..... This size in these are hard to find, I purchased 2 and they are awesome in keeping my Snus nice and fresh... http://www.amazon.com/FreshVac-3-180...730578&sr=8-37

[snusgetter]

Crap. I went to the Walmart and of course none of the FreshVac's to be found in store.

After some thought, I'm not gonna bother with Walmart's online doodoos -- too much bother for me. I may just look into the single container from Target -- or maybe just wait.

Ladies were practically trying to go down on me as I wheeled my cart up front...
