Best glass jars

I have been using Ball jars both quart and pint size and I get some smell of the cannabis coming out of them, at the seal I suppose.

The worst thing is after 2 years in the jar the buds are really dry. I think if they get too dry they start losing potency and flavor. I rehydrate them by putting a bottle cap with wet paper towel in the sealed jar, but want to avoid doing that even.

Is there a better jar that seals even better? I saw some with clamp locks on the lid and they look like they might be better.

I got these jars new and even the jars that are filled to the brim would dry out the herb after a year or two. I store at room temp or refrigerator and both dry out.

yea, you gotta smoke that shit up why keep it for two years thats 18 months too long...

Have you tried vacuum sealing them? I use the Kerr jars, just because that is what I seem to find the most often, and a vacuum sealer with an adapter for the lid. I use hygrometers to make sure that everything is at 62% (check out Simon's thread on curing if you haven't seen it yet), and then vacuum pack it. I've got some stuff that is 4 years old and it hasn't changed much.

^ what rives said. i vac seal all mine with the jar lid attachment, have regular and widemouth for various sizes. that should take care of any odor issues.

Yea, as mentioned smoke it sooner or try the vacuum lid method. Or this may suit your method of super long curing/storage with these:

I use these in various sizes-

With a large 62% boveda pack in each jar after curing with Simon's method, "a perfect cure every time".

The moisture content is near perfect, even a hair on the moist side for best smoking. It won't crumble between your fingers- needs a grinder.
