Maybe too much air allowed in the baggie and the tin.

I keep mine in a camera film small black tub.
I blew smoke into one, left it 3 days and it was all there when i was done.. so it's nice and airtight;)

Mason Jars or any other tupperware/aitight container. Film Containers usually work well for smaller amounts of weed. You can also store in the fridge and the freezer if you need to store it for an extended period of time(months-years).

Wouldn't those mini M and M containers work? It's the only thing I have to keep the herb in right now.

The best thing is a food saver vacuum sealer. I've kept buds nice and fresh in them for a long, long time.

yea put your weed in a jar with apple, citrus or orange (will give a nice taste in top of that!) and put it in the freezer.

or you can put your weed in a bag instead of mason jar, as long as the air isnt penetrating to the weed

plastic bags leak air. glass jars with a rubber seal (mason jars) is best and keep it stored in the fridge (freezers will dry it out too and burst any cells with moisture left inside...not good). as long as your flowers have been properly dried and cured they'll keep for many months if kept in a cool and dark place...longer if kept refridgerated. i'm still smoking some hawaiian from '03 that's been kept in a jar in the fridge, and it still works very well and hasn't lost its flavor...

and only add fruits/veggies if your bud gets dried out. both can cause mold if not carfeully watched and generally is not needed unless your bud gets too crispy to roll. if it is needed, only leave it in long enough to refresh the flowers...then remove it.

Wow you either hardly ever smoke.. or just dip into the jar when you fancy it... oh unless it's a jar with like a pound of bud in :D

we did a lab experiment last year to see if plastic bags were permeable to iodine, and they were. amazing. i keep mine in an empty knotts jam jar. i am yet to fill it up, so it still has the scent of mint cinnamon apple jam. yum.

my bud is usually gone far before i need to worry about it going stale...

i thought about that food vac thing too...if you need to store large amounts of bud for a long time, thats the way to go man

"Wow you either hardly ever smoke.. or just dip into the jar when you fancy it... oh unless it's a jar with like a pound of bud in "

or one just has many jars filled with flowers...sort of a multi-flower arraingement that happens when grows overlap. like now...have 6 diff strains from 3 diff grows dating back to summer crop of '03. had to buy a separate fridge for them...
