snabbt svar
Amber Glass Mason Jars Àr de bÀsta övergripande förvaringsbehÄllare för cannabis. De blockerar UV-ljus, Àr helt lufttÀta med tvÄdelade lock, lÀcker inte ut kemikalier och Àr prisvÀrda. För luktsÀkring eller resor, övervÀg specialiserade cannabisförvaringsbehÄllare med silikonförseglingar.
Varför containerval Àr viktigt
BehÄllaren skyddar mot:
- Ljus (UV försÀmrar THC)
- Luftutbyte (syreoxiderar cannabinoider)
- Fuktighetsfluktuationer (fukt in/ut)
- Luktflykt (terpener Àr flyktiga)
En dÄlig container leder till:
- Snabbare potensförlust
- terpenavdunstning
- Mögelrisk (om luftfuktigheten fluktuerar)
- torr, hÄrd blomma
- luktlÀckage

Container Size Guide
Match Container to Quantity
The Rule: Container should be 70-80% full when packed. Too empty = too much air. Too full = crushed flower.
Seal Quality Comparison
Testing your seal: Close container, submerge in water briefly - bubbles indicate air leaks.

- Check quarterly
For Travel
- Smell-proof metal container with silicone seal
- Compact, discrete, durable
- Add small humidity pack
For Concentrates
- Silicone container (short-term)
- Glass container (long-term)
- Non-stick surfaces essential
For Collection/Display

Common Container Mistakes
Mistake 1: Reusing Dispensary Containers
Pop-top plastic containers are designed for short-term retail, not storage. They're not airtight, create static, and don't block light. Transfer to glass immediately.
Mistake 2: Using Kitchen Tupperware
Generic food containers are permeable plastic, poor seal, and often absorb odors from previous contents. Not suitable for cannabis.
Mistake 3: Bags Inside Containers
Putting cannabis in a plastic bag, then in a jar defeats the purpose. Direct contact with glass is fine - no bag needed.
Mistake 4: Wrong Size Container
Too big = too much air exposure. Too small = crushed flower. Match container to amount.
Mistake 5: Ignoring Light Exposure
Clear glass in a lit room degrades cannabis. Either use amber glass or store in complete darkness.
Budget vs Premium Comparison
Budget Option: $5-10 Setup
- Regular Mason jar (8oz)
- Humidity pack (Boveda/Integra)
- Stored in dark closet
Result: Excellent storage for most users
Premium Option: $50-100 Setup
- CVault or Herb Guard container
- Premium humidity pack
- Hygrometer for monitoring
Result: Optimal conditions with monitoring
Reality check: The budget option works 95% as well. Premium only matters for long-term storage of valuable strains.
DIY Container Improvements
Make Any Jar Smell-Proof
1. Replace lid gasket with new food-grade silicone
2. Apply thin layer of petroleum jelly to seal
3. Store inside secondary smell-proof bag
Make Clear Glass UV-Safe
1. Paint exterior with blackout paint (not interior!)
2. Or wrap with electrical tape/duct tape
3. Or store in opaque container/box
Add Humidity Monitoring
1. Purchase mini hygrometer ($5-10)
2. Place inside jar or affix to lid
3. Monitor through glass
4. Target 58-62% RH
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are dispensary containers okay for storage?
A: No - transfer to glass immediately. Dispensary plastic is for transport, not storage. It's not airtight and creates static.
Q: Is amber glass really necessary?
A: If storing in complete darkness (closed closet), clear glass is fine. If any light exposure, amber blocks harmful UV rays.
Q: How do I remove smell from a container?
A: Glass: ISO alcohol soak + baking soda paste. Metal: Same process. Plastic/Silicone: Usually can't fully remove - replace container.
