[newjacksm]

I am an avid lurker of slick deals and I just came across something that everyone on here would probably love if they dont have enough tupperware for there shisha. 11 bucks for 24 containers of all sizes.

thats what i use....walmart sells ones that look just like that design 3 for like 3-4 bucks i think, something like that. They are the ones that are a couple inches tall, about 7-8" long, and 4-6" wide. basically the perfect size, especially for stirring the shisha.

my best find so far, big lots, $2.50 for 10 containers and 8 lids, lols.

Exactly what I use! Rubbermaid brand with red lids, right?

I got some canning jars (Mason Jars?) @ the dollar store-12 for 6 bucks. But, they're absolutely 100% airtight. They hold 250g of shisha still in the bag.

Good find. I still prefer the ones from IKEA (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40065867). There are a bit more expensive, but they are glass and air tight.

Nice find. We keep buying plastic containers for a lot more through a wholesaler. Might as well pick some of these up and charge a lot less. Great find and suggestions!

it seems as if it jumped up to 15 bucks, when I posted it it was 11 dollars. oh well..

i would advice i against that. it is really hard to stir the shisha in a mason jar, plus, it is hard to get adequate air exposure to the shisha....at least for tangiers.

If you want some good glass containers, i would try the Pyrex containers walmart carries. I know they aren't true glass, but close enough and they won't break as easily.

I have some of those and let me tell you this. I threw a bunch away when I stopped using them for tobacco. These things will hold flavor in really well. All the way to the core of the plastic. I remember a while after I did I pulled some Red Potatoes I cooked the previous day and stored in the fridge. Apparently that was the same container I use to store Nakhla Margarita in.... no it was not a good taste.

So just FYI.

I don't dump the tobacco in; i leave them in the package and pull out the package when i need some. I then retrieve the desired amount with a spoon, let it acclimate on some wax paper, and then rake it into the bowl. I don't just pour the tobacco loose into it; you make good points though, it would be tricky as hell to stir it in these jars.
