Curing with the C-Vault?

For future reference,

The only reason these work well is because of the Boveda Humidipak.

We use the Humidipaks for our cigar vaults. They work wonders.


All this is, Is an air tight container made by a company that found a way to make money using another companies product (Boveda)

They make the Boveda Humidipaks in 4gram packs that you can just velcro right to the underside of a mason jar lid and it does the exact same thing as the c-vault.
That what I was thinking, thanks for the info of course after I ordered a small one! Lol

once you drop below 55% curing stops and cant be started back up even if moisture is added. those little packs that come with it keep the RH at 62% by removing and adding moisture as needed. if you guys were smart you wouldnt even be looking at the prices of their kits and would just buy the little packs that go in the containers and use your own container.
Yes, this is the route I will be going.

What gram size would one want? At 420packaging.com it's saying use a 4 gram pack for 4 grams of herb, an 8 gram pack for 8 grams of herb. Is this just nonsense advertising to sell more or do I need to actually buy a 60 gram pack for a single mason jar?

i would get several small ones and add to the desired amount calculating with a humidimeter

4 gram packets are what will fit in the lid of a mason jar.

8 grams are too big unless you have a gallon jar and/or willing to lose space in your jar/have it touching your buds

best price is on amazon.



edit

you will be using about 3 4 gram packets per 3/4 ounce

i bought one and im pleased but not impressed. work perfectly like its supposed to, but its no better than a half gallon mason jar 3/4 full and a large humidipack
 
I have and they are awesome! I started using them to store (there's nothing better) but with my last harvey I'm using them to cure. So far so good! I like a slow cure. It's been 3 weeks and they are living up to their name. Only burping once a week. It's not really even burping, it's checking on the progress.

I'm curing my grow right now. One thing I don't like to do, is move the buds around or shake the jar to expose air to the buds that are at the bottom, or that are stuck to the other buds. This gets the entire jar full of the "Sticky" I want to stay on the buds, and, if I take the buds out the trics leave their sticky on the surface where I might lay them down to separate them.

My theory is this; find a way to cure with as LITTLE bud movement as possible.

I'm considering on my next round trying this: Find a nice big, flat glass container with a good solid sealing top. Then, lay my buds down flat and separated, keeping my fucking hands off of the MJ. Simply remove the lid to burp or expose the buds to air, reseal it, and wait for the next cycle.

The buds I have right now are so incredibly dank, every surface they have touched, they have left some potency there. Trying to eliminate this would seem to be a good thing.

Anyone else have ideas about this?

FYI, cvault is a Korean kimchi storage container with a logo etched on the top. Depending on where you live you can find similar containers at Korean grocery or home stores.

And yes a 5 gal homedepot bucket / spin on lid works just fine.

I'll be buying a few of these come harvest, seems like a great way to get a perfect cure and a perfect way to store long term.
It's literally a fill and forget system for curing.

pissing in the ocean comes to mind.
