CaliforniaRose Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 So currently I'm storing my opened tobacco in ziplock bags, but that can be messy and not very decretive. Since I don't smoke often and like variety I order 50g packages. Once they are open, i reseal them in ziplock bags. I know certain brands come in 50g jars, but does anyone sell 50g empty jars? So that once opened I could have my tobacco on hand in something that is a little more sturdy and solid then a ziplock bag. Anyone have any other tobacco storage suggestions?

Shavo989 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Don't got any tips for you, sorry. I do what you do, I take everything out of the package (the bag the tobacco is packed in and the couple of layers of plastic sheets), scrape off most of the juice and put it all in a Zip-Lock bag and then back in the jar/box (I usually buy 250g at at time).

Joseph Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 But the disposible tupperware made by Gladd, or something similer. You get 5 containers for about $4, and each will store more than 250g, or you could just put 50g in it. I have found them to be the perfect solution. And they are made of polypropalyne, so it won't affect the flavor of your shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 If they were a fourth or so of the size I'd totally dig that. Why are mini jars so hard to find? You'd think people would want to put push pins and other misillaneous things in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavo989 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Maybe you could wash out some of those 'tall' baby food jars and use those. I'm not sure what their capacity is but I think it's Gerber that has some that are about the size of two of the regular jars on top of one another that look like they'd accommodate 50g of tobacco.

Onion Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 baby-food jars maybe? They're cheap, and you get to consume their delicious innards before use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Oh that is awesome. Cause then I could decorate them too! Keep the tips coming, Thanks Everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavo989 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 There are little Mason jars too, that are about two and a half inches high and two and a half-three inches across. Although they'd probably be a tad too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worr lord Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Places like Ikea sometimes sell small jars like that, as well as craft stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Hookah Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I would say IKEA also, they seem to have some funky crap there, maybe something will work, and yet be trendy at the same time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tiny ones I use for 50-100g of tobacco and large ones I use for 250g of tobacco. Check out the food storage aisle in the grocery store ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 im still a fan of the gladware type stuff. they sell them in every conceivable size. (if you have a very limited imagination as far as tub sizes go) go check out your local grocery store. i also never buy 50g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansLight Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I usually use Ziplock Freezer bags. There thicker and stay shut and hold in the flavour better then normal ziplock bags. Not ive been converting to cheap as crap plastic containers. 15 for like $4 at wall-mart. They work and give more room to work and keep the tobacco nice and fluffy As for 50g size, maybe those really small lil gladware cups... dont know how else to say it. There small and would hold 50g perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboyle Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have some tobacco in an altoid tin. Not the mint tin, but the like... the fruit flavored tins that are round. Its almost like a skoal tin. except the tobacco smells better and isn't terrible. just gotta clean the container out. line it with some saran wrap and its good to go.

DizzyGuy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Canning jars. It's air tight and reseals really good every time that you close the lid. It's made of glass so when you run out of one flavor... just throw it in the dish washer or something and re use I picked up some ones that are about a third or so the size of a 250g al waha tub. I'm sure you can find various shapes and sizes if you look around at different stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaRose Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Man a mini cheese crock or mini cheese crock with glass would be perfect. I'll be on the hunt for one, and post here if I find them. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I saw some awesome magnetic glass jars that attach sideways to a metal plate attached to the wall...its intended for spices, sugar, coffee, etc., but those would kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
