I didnt think it would make any difference whatsoever opposed to glass but it did. the steel seems to stay a little cooler than glass maybe that made the difference? the herb has a nicer more vibrant smell and taste. try it out sometime and compare for yourself.

What kind of stainless steel container did you use? I mean is it something anyone can pick up or have around the house?
Just curious

I know most outfitter stores have them...and L.L. Bean....usually for water or supplies to take to the great outdoors...I keep my glass cool enough...but I have some laying around so I'll give it a try.

they are those kitchen canisters you put tea bags or herbs and spices or whatever in.

I like the look of stainless steel and if it's not in glass its easy to have it out in the open w/o being obvious. I might try it

I've seen those...but wondered..are they as air tight as the seal in a Mason Jar?

I use both, and I believe that the mason jars with screw on cap and lid and other mason jars with rubber seals will keep herb longer then the stainless steel ones with silicon seals. You can get them from Kerr or Ball at Walmart cheap. Both will work fine. As just make sure the seal is covering the whole jar because sometimes they will shift and some air can be let in. Avoid tupperware, plastic bags or plastic jars as your trichomes will stick to them by friction. Use glass mason jars.

I use canisters that look just about exactly like those 'cept mine have a more brushed look as opposed to shiny. I too prefer the look of steel over glass. Though I haven't had a large enough stash yet to tell you how well they keep weed fresh over long periods of time, but it did a good job keeping what I had fresh.

thinking about it, it does make sense stainless steel would be better for storing..I mean steel cans are used for storing food for up to 5 years shelf life; also being air tight too.. But Im wondering if it has more to do with blocked light then it does being steel?
I think an experiment is in order here.. anyone willing to stash some in a mason jar and some in stainless steel stored in the same area-cool and dark?
