I fold a piece of kitchen parchment paper in half and put that over the end of the Grove bag. Then I use a regular clothes iron. The parchment keeps it from sticking.

Keeps what from sticking
You’ll see what he means if you try it without a barrier between bag and iron, lol. The plastic kinda crinkles and wrinkles along the seal. The iron directly is usually too hot unless turned way down. Then it’s hard to seal. Easier to use a barrier so you get a nice even smooth seal. Parchment works well.

close it on it, wait 7-10 seconds and it's sealed with a nice little ridge pattern. $45

Now I’m curious if it’s better to seal in a regular food grade bag because the way grove bags work
i don't get still how air exchange works with them, but i figured if they didn't work well people would've ousted them by now

I think they continue to cure with whatever environment they’re in, so if I have em stored in like 70 degree 40% humidity I should probably just get diff types of bags to vac seal. They’re great for curing tho.

what you mean bro? lol

Yes I heat seal all of my Grove Bags, unless it's my "daily smoke bag" that I am pulling buds out of.

Regular bags??????

There is regular vac seal bags. I'm assuming that keeps it fresher because it doesn't adapt to it's environment like grovebags. Im just curious because I am noticing in grove bags the humidity has gone down about 10% ...so out of the cure range now. and it's only been 2 weeks.

Did you heat seal your grove bag? Where are you storing it?

No we don't speak of "regular bags" around these parts :p

don't make me get @freezeland2 up in here to scold you!
