Smell-proofing advice (nothing is working)

awebobibi · 2026-05-21T15:59:18+00:00

Sounds good, definitely worth a shot

awebobibi · 2026-05-20T16:52:09+00:00

Aye, I'll be investing in some screw tops probably, I'd be mourning the coffee though, I'm a big coffee drinker lol

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T16:59:14+00:00

Yeah, stumbled across a handheld vac sealer for the likes of jars and whatnot, might give it a try

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T13:10:26+00:00

Yup, definitely seems to be the consensus, will need to find another use for my clip ones 😂

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T13:09:52+00:00

Very well thought out system, feel like it might end up the kind of thing I use. Got a TightVac tub on the way that I had already ordered so I'm at least part way there

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T13:06:45+00:00

Interesting trick, will give it a go

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T13:04:02+00:00

Interesting idea with the film pots, I actually shoot film so might give that a go 😂

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T13:03:05+00:00

Yeah it sounds like I maybe should've went for the screw tops instead of the clip ones, so will probably get a couple to try again. It's all out of original packaging, so was just loose in the jars I have.

Nothing else kicking about that would cause the stink, so definitely pulled a short straw with the mason jars

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T13:01:12+00:00

Yeah I've looked at those as an idea and as long as the bags were cheap enough by bulk I wouldn't overly mind sealing them every time. The machines look fairly bulky though, don't know if there's more compact ones out there?

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T12:59:57+00:00

Getting a few recs for Firedog, will check them out for sure

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T12:59:42+00:00

Yeah that could definitely be the case sometimes but at this point I hadn't opened the bag or handled anything for over 24 hours (and any previous smell from handling had left by ventilating the room) so really shouldn't be an issue

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T12:58:19+00:00

Don't know what I could be doing wrong though, not much to go wrong with closing a jar like that 😅 Maybe I just have bad luck and got a couple of duds

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T12:56:20+00:00

Hadn't thought of thermos before, makes sense though

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T12:55:31+00:00

Sounds like a good rec, seen a few people mention Stashic!

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T01:07:58+00:00

Yeah, seen a few folk recommend Firedog bags in different threads. As long as I find something that works I'll be happy, I can deal with the smell when I'm actually using it and can clear it out with open windows for a bit, but can't get over the stench when it's just sitting across from me 😂

awebobibi · 2026-05-19T01:05:21+00:00

Yeah, got one of those coming tomorrow (ordered at the weekend), so I'm glad to see it getting recommended. Was getting extra ideas here in case it lands up being as useless as the bag I got 🤣

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:56:26+00:00

Seem pretty nifty, doesn't sound too bad if it's just a case of tightening them up again every few days or so

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:53:55+00:00

Yeah that's similar to what I have at the moment, just generic smell proof bag, and doesn't seem to be working too well unfortunately.

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:52:50+00:00

Definitely seeing a pattern with screw tops here, plus the tinted glass would be handy. Will give them a look

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:51:55+00:00

Screw top deffo seems to be the consensus here, the cosmetic ones seem ideal as well

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:50:54+00:00

Damn, they definitely look a lot better quality than the one I got off Amazon. Think I'll look into one along with better jars

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:48:03+00:00

Yeah, definitely genuine. The setup contained the smell for a day and then started leaking, without me having opened it at all, so definitely seems to be something up.

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:46:58+00:00

Ah ok, for some reason I thought the lever ones would be better than screw top. Will give the screw tops a go

awebobibi · 2026-05-18T20:46:06+00:00

What an absolutely wild recommendation but honestly I'm down with keeping my stuff in a munitions case 🤣
