joetuo Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I was just wondering if anyone has ever used these [url="http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=13560"]jars[/url].I picked up a pack but have not really tested them out, they seem to seal pretty well. Doing the conversion from grams to ounces on google it seems like you will only get about 100g in there, but damn its cheap for 4 glass jars its only 3 bucks.Any ideas of something I could put in there that is similar to shisha to see if it drys out??? Nobody wants to waste shisha testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 "Suitable for storing herbs, spices and other kinds of dry foods"I doubt it matters if you store wet stuff, like shisha, but you might want to look for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 they look difficult to get shisha out of. my hands are big and clunky and don't get along well with small jars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I got tired of getting the sticky shit on my fingers so I use my tongs now and wipe them off with a wet-wipe. As far as the jars, they look nice. One of the smaller "Ball" jars may work nicely too. Wider mouth and a little bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain Soph Aur Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I was at the dollar store and was gonna buy those. Instead I bought some with a better seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 yea i use these glass jars:[url="http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=74177&PRODID=74412"]http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Produ...77&PRODID=74412[/url]And for 50g boxes:[url="http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=74177&PRODID=10013118"]http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Produ...PRODID=10013118[/url]I find they work wonders. They get a pretty good seal when you shut em as well The small ones work well for the small boxes of shisha as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatalystPB Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Go to Safeway and check out "Rubbermaid Take Alongs" in the area with the Ziploc bags and such.They are basically GladWare containers, but they have a rubber lid unlike the GladWare brittle lids.The Sandwich sized containers can hold 300gr. easily.I poke holes in the top of my containers for constant acclimation.[img]http://www.rubbermaid.com/rubbermaid/images/product/7f58_sand_sm.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpimpitox Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 i use ziplock containers that a nice airtight seal to it. they can easily hold close to 500 grams of shisha as i put my 250grams in there its about halfway full. i never thought of poking holes for constant acclimation wouldnt that dry it out in the long run say you dont smoke a certain one very often?

Claytron Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Yeah, if your poking holes I have a feeling you're pretty much negating any sealing effect the container would have on freshness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatalystPB Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 One step ahead of you :DI throw my containers in large Ziploc freezer bags when not in use. Take a straw, suck out the air, close it up, and its good to store.When I want to smoke, I just pull it out of the ziploc bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Abide Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Im a ziplock/glad tub guy myself.with the occasional ziplock back for a 50g box ot keep it from leaking. Easy to stack and find what you're lookin for.[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v24/Abide/Hookah/DSC00281.jpg[/img]And yes, i know i have a problem.

joetuo Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 What is wrong with ABS plastic tangiers? Is it that they do not seal well or they gonna make the shisha taste like plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Those jars have several issues:- They break easily if you want to bring them to a camping or road trip.- They leak moisture, if tipped or carries upside down, they are not 100% liquid tight.- If you like to use ur chubby hands to handle and separate the shisha leafs you will have a problem doing that.If you do not care about presentation, "glad tub" would do, and save u some space. But if you do then, you should get Plastic/Glass Air-Tight Jars, sometimes those come with a display/stacking rack (similar to spice racks) ..

ghostofdavid Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I buy lunch meat from Oscar Meyer because it comes in free tubs of Gladware. I DO NOT WORK FOR GLADWARE OR OSCAR MEYER. ;)Right now, I've been leaving my Havana and Al Fakher tobacco in their original containers with fine results.

nuschultz Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hey ghost, what do you use to clean them out before you use themfor shisha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Warm water and as mild of a scent as possible. Hand dry them. Unless you want your shisha to be roast beef flavoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie505 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I use the tuberware/glad stuff myself, when i change out massal flavours in them I just wahs them by hand and let them sit out for a few days, gets rid of most if not all the previous smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 [quote name='ghostofdavid']EvansLight: What sizes would you use for 250 grams?[/quote] 1/2Lt, at least thats what it says on the bottom of the jar remebered top check today when i tried out my QT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 For 50g I'll just plastic baggie the original bag it came in, and shove it back in the box.For 250g, original container (if tubs), or Gladware if boxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Polypropylene and vinyl are the only two plastics that I believe are resistant to all the chemicals in sheesha. Otherwise, they will leach chemicals out of the plastic and let you enjoy it. It makes the flavor crummy and endangers your health more than smoking the tobacco in the first place.
