Smell-resistant containers?

Not looking to stop a drug dog. Just the tell-tale smell to humans. Is there a nag that can be used for transport? Someone suggested Smelly Bags.

Most plastic seems to leak smell over time.

Thanks

Bormioli Rocco Fido Italian Glass Facet Storage Canning Jars -5 Liter

I have been using these Fido 5 liter (165 fluid ounce) glass jars and loving them. They are big enough to hold multiple ounces and you can get your hand in through the mouth. They run about $12 online and $20 in a specialty cooking store.

Good for curing and transporting. You cant really get a sense of just how large these are from the photo btw....

Mason jar, small vacuum hand pump in the cool dark basement is about ideal for long term storage. I have two year old stuff that is so perfectly cured it's silly.

The Tite Vacs sounded good to me at one point and are probably fine for a couple of days but the vacuum isn't that strong and doesn't last. Per the manufacturer

use febreze with food saver bags

How Febreze Works
The cyclodextrin molecule sort of resembles a donut. When you spray Febreze, the water in the product partially dissolves the odor, allowing it to form a complex inside the 'hole' of the cyclodextrin donut shape. The stink molecule is still there, but it can't bind to your odor receptors, so you can't smell it. Depending on the type of Febreze you're using, the odor might simply be deactivated or it might be replaced with something nice-smelling, like a fruity or floral fragrance. As Febreze dries, more and more of the odor molecules bind to the cyclodextrin, lowering the concentration of the molecules in air and eliminating the odor. If water is added once again, the odor molecules are released, allowing them to be washed away and truly removed.

I guess I'll argue this AM.

I have a personal bias against chemicals, so Febreze is out for me. Even when I'm growing I would only ever use coconut carbon to filter.

The Tite-Vac is probably a great container and I'm glad it works for you. However it doesn't hold a vacuum as they give the impression it does. And the initial vacuum is quite low. I was looking for a cool jar like that for long term vacuum storage, but the glass mason jar rules.

my preference is glass ... tried the tite-vac, but! if buds are left inside for a longer time, they seem to loose humidity n smell -> i guess the tite-vac aint that tight

That's the conclusion I came to. I've ordered up some Smelly Bags to try. I can put items in, fold it up and put in a car console, pocket or bag

The foodsaver plastic is not smell-proof, I've been told. Smelly Bags is different (I've been told)

I found the best deals on these type of jars at Ikea actually. They have four sizes with the flip lid that have the rubber gasket and they are all like 3$. They seal real nice, keep everything nice and fresh and smell free. They fit real nice in a wine rack too. The smallest size fits about an ounce, while the bigger two can fit up to a qp of tights nugs. Check it, you can get em online I think...

Yea tight-vac's are good ive had a set for years now and a load of the smaller ones.. more for just stashing stuff in my room..
if just for transporting they should be fine..
also the smelly bags are good too, just suck out all the air before you seal and they are good, even double bag to make extra sure!
you can never be too careful

Here's my report back. I've used these Smelly Bags for a few months now. To throw grinders, vapes, etc in. Not trying to stop a dog, 'cause it won't. Just trying to not let people smell it, and they do that very well.

They open and close easily and the plastic is thick. Thicker than a typical sandwich baggie. Not the crinkly plastic, either.

I recommend them.
 
i cant say this is the best, or even if it's any good, but. i just shipped about an 1/8 UPS in a small box from here to Oakland, CA. i put the buds in an old pill container. not a prescription kind with the loose fitting lid, but just a plastic bottle with a screw-on lid.

around the lid i put some clear plastic paking tape, that 1" wide stuff. i just figured it was air tight.

i guess if you want to be sure if something works, you could cook up a niceah italian sausage and put it in your container of choice, wave it around in front of a dog and see if he wants to eat it.
