I believe in reviving old threads. Why ? People search for knowledge myself everyday and people need info it doesn't have to be said today or yesterday info from 80 years ago can be good. A thread is a thread. I love these things. So much help. When I was 10 we needed a library lol. Curing your cannabis in curing jars or containers is among the most popular methods to do this. When choosing a container, go for ones that have wide openings. The lids should be able to seal the container tightly. Avoid using plastic containers because they can leech chemicals and it won’t be good for your cannabis or your health.
While others use bags made of plastic in curing cannabis, this is also not good. The buds won’t cure properly if you do this. Oxygen has to flow properly, and it won’t be able to do that with plastic. Cannabis also has oils in the buds which may break down the plastic. This may taint the buds with the plastic chemicals.
For best results in curing your cannabis, choose
CVault stainless steel containers. Unlike plastic, it won’t affect your buds. It is also better than glass jars because it blocks out light and harmful UV rays. Glass is clear and lets light in. You won’t have this problem with stainless steel containers for curing cannabis.

Now, I’ve been a bit of a glass snob, when it comes to both storing and smoking my cannabis. Glass is just so pure and clean; you don’t have to worry about anything leaching into your weed the way you do (or at least I do) with plastic.
But I just had an experience that has broadened my perspective when it comes to marijuana storage. I tried the
stainless steel CVault,
“The world’s smartest curing and storage container,” and now I’m a believer.
Now, the challenge facing anyone who wants to store their weed for more than a day or two is that the stuff tends to get
too dry and crumbly without some sort of protection. This has often been accomplished through glass jars with rubber seals on the lids, but the drawback to this method is that if the weed is overly moist when you put it in there, the seal is going to hold all that moisture, and it’ll still be too moist when you get it back out to smoke.
Sealing the moisture in can even cause mold problems.
But with the
CVault, those beautiful flowers stay at the
exact right moisture content: Not so dry as be powdery or crumbly, but not so moist as to be difficult to break up and smoke.
The stainless steel makes CVault airtight (when the buckles are closed), lightweight, durable and — unlike glass — completely impenetrable to light.
Parent company Freshstor did extensive testing on humidity control inside the container. They coordinated with
Boveda/Humidipak, a company that has developed a patented technology that provides what is being promoted as “the world’s first two-way humidity control packet.” After months of trials, Freshstor concluded that the most effective humidity range for storing herb is between 58 percent and 64 percent humidity. And after a full year of additional testing, the
CVault was released to the public.
FreshStor had
Boveda/Humidipak develop a 62 percent Humidipak; each packet has a plus or minus humidity variance of just one percent. The Humidipak is inserted into a little shelf in the lid. The packs need replacement after 60 to 90 days. You’ll know the pack needs replacing when it feels solid rather than liquid when squeezed. The packs are reasonably priced, starting at just $1.25 for the small size.
Is a real pleasure every time I open my
CVault and discover, once again, that my cannabis flowers are at the ideal humidity to enjoy.
CVault Curing and Storage Containers are available in “Personal” sizes of small (about $20); medium (about $22) and large (about $30); the medium easily holds about half an ounce of herb (you could probably pack in an ounce, but the manufacturer recommends that for maximum effectiveness, you don’t fill more than three-quarters full). They also come in “Commercial” sizes, ranging from two liter (about $46) to the Mega
CVault with a 17-liter capacity (about $100).
