Seems like a gimmick to me, but gimmicks do sell I guess.
OK, so slight shift in topic.
Long-term storage solutions: I have a CannaVault, with Boveda 62% packets, for my daily driver. Glass screw cap canning jars, with boveda 62% packs thrown in, is my go to for larger amounts, stuff that will not be consumed immediately.
For long term storage I always worried about the humidity packs, unless youāre able to burp your jars once or twice a month.
To be sure when I long store, I make sure the nugs are niiice and dry then I vacseal and store. Itās easy enough to rehydrate when I pull them out and I donāt have to worry about any surprises later on. Yes I lose some punch but fair trade for peace of mind.
I always wanted a nitro sealer, store my weed like a bag of chips lol.
Broveda packsā¦ the terp stealer!

You know I always had my suspicions about that too, lol. Dry herb that gets rehydrated still has some decibels after.
Over here in IL, everyone is trying to push those little tuna cans, material is always shit quality with the latest IG trend slapped on it. Most consumers arenāt donāt even care because itās āsealed in a can BrOā Iāve seen many people pass up quality for the little cans . As far as freshness goes the material does come out spongy but quickly dries and turns to dust after 2-3 days as if it was moistened to weight more and quickly loses all of its water weight.
I see the tuna cans taking place of the fake ass carts (dank/mario garbage).
Itās real funny to see how the ātrendsā go. Its comical

I blame #hashtag marketing.
I tried getting on board but it left such a bad taste in my mouth I had to remove myself. Blatant misrepresentations, ego instead of fact, and the filters; I mean come on
Helping to further consumer ignorance and the incomes of shady businessmen. Must be bliss I guess.

Its aluminum cans with nitrogen backfilling. Think the same as lays potato chips. If any cannabis companies actually took the time to properly dry and cure their cannabis this idea would be phenomenal. However when you just put over dried mids in nitrogen backfilled containers because itās easy to package at a mass scaleā¦you get what we have here in colorado. Mediocre at best cannabis packaged to preserve its mids-ness. Also you can never get an accurate representation of what youāre buying from the uber dried out and fondled shelf display of the flower. Cut it right, whole plant dry, put it in glass, leave it alone as long as you can stand. 2 weeks is not a cure.

They use them in Colorado, specifically Rare Danknessā House of Dank and a store called 14āer
Pretty sure both have stopped using them but could be wrong
Drying too much loses terps youāll never get back. Add altitude like here in Colorado and profiles are ruined quickly

Pretty common here in cali. Most companies Iāve seen use them use small nugs or nugs they would otherwise have trouble selling(leafy, dry).
and right on cue theres a first post in the for sale section from someone selling them

I was going to say, these have been in circulation in Colorado for a few years now. Pretty sure both HoD and 14er both still use the cans. Saw more than a few wholesale cultivators in Denver doing it. I never liked it.
Hereās an idea. Glass containers, with screw on caps, but also nitrogen backfilled, with a rip-off safety/security seal. Like they use on drug bottles.
You get to see inside the container, but it has good longer-term storage, due to the N2 and seal.

Theyāre still using them. They just went to see thru tops so one can see the flower.

In Canada, at our automotive factories, we had 1/8s sold in small tuna cans. Was how a lot of product came through our town. Tuna cans are mostly a thing of the past by now but they still pop up from time to time in the black market. Nostalgic!
14er in Colorado uses these with nitrogen in the can. I smoked some that was almost a year old that the dude popped the can right in front of me. It was dry, but, still terpy and potent.
