about us

---

 At BudVac, our overarching goal is to preserve your prized cannabis flowers while maintaining absolute discretion. Our BudVac jars reach terpene supremacy by utilizing dual factors - a vacuum seal and glass. 

Our vacuum seal is created by using our proprietary lid that’s equipped with an air vacuum valve. Paired with our vacuum pump, you can remove every last bit of air within the jar. 

BudVac’s glass jars are entirely impermeable. This means that nothing can escape from its walls - especially the dank aroma that exudes from each bud. Additionally, our glass is never treated, which ensures that nothing will ever leech onto your valuable flowers, unlike plastic containers that are made of petroleum biproducts containing Bisphenol A (BPA). 

The process of securing the health of your buds and maintaining absolute discretion is accomplished with a few rapid pumps. You’ll quickly hear a clicking sound - which is the indicator letting you know that the process is complete.

Why Does BudVac Want To Preserve Terpenes?  There’s a reason why you’ve been hearing so much about terpenes lately. They are responsible for the aroma and flavor of cannabis and even play a role in how you feel after consuming marijuana. These organic oils degrade quickly when they’re exposed to air and other environmental factors - such as temperature, humidity, and pests. However, the air we breathe is the primary factor in terpene degradation because it facilitates oxidation. This chemical process is the reason why improperly dried, cured, and stored cannabis flowers lack a pungent aroma and flavor. This is where BudVac comes in. We’ve specifically engineered the perfect tool to preserve your terpenes so you can enjoy your cannabis at its highest potential. BudVac removes the culprit (air), and your flowers will remain stored in the ultimate environment. With BudVac - say goodbye to stale and flavorless cannabis. It’s time you enjoyed the true essence that cannabis offers - all with the help of BudVac. 

Why Choose BudVac?  There’s a multitude of reasons why you should use BudVac storage systems, whether you’re cannabis-connoisseur or a once-in-a-while toker.

Q:  Do I need to purchase a pump with the jar?

A:  No, every jar comes with a manual hand vacuum pump.  Only the automatic pumps are purchased seperately.

Q:  How long does the jar hold a vacuum for?

A:  We have tested our product to hold a vacuum for a full year.  All shipped products are tested to hold a vacuum for at mininmum one week.  As soon as a unit is made it is put under vacuum and the vacuum is released before packaging and shipping.

Q:  My jar worked great for a long time but now it's not holding a vacuum for very long.   What should I do?

A:  Sipmly remove the rubber O-ring (gasket) and rinse with warm water.  Wipe down the glass areas where the O-ring comes in contact before replacing the O-ring.  Small debris can cause a slow air leak over time.

Q:  How many pumps does it take to create the vacuum?

A:  This depends on the amount of contents (volume) in the jar.  The more contents, the less pumping.  We do recommend our automatic pumps for the larger units.

Q:  How strong are the automatic pumps?

A:   The rechargeable is not as strong as the Pro-Vac but it does pull a -20hg vacuum in approximately 15 seconds on a 1oz jar (500ml).  For comparison, the Pro-Vac will pull -25 to -28hg in 3 seconds.  Both examples are with empty jars.  Obviously, the more volume of contents inside the jar will decrease the time to pull a vacuum.

Q:  Shipping seems a bit high???

A:  Due to the fact we are shipping glass, the products are packaged in boxes that are large enough to allow sufficient packaging material to protect the items.  We make no profit from shipping.  All charges are from the USPS and are calculated by size, weight and your zip code.  We ship from Orange County, California.  

Q:  How long does shipping take?

A:  We ship via USPS Priority mail from Southern California.  The average time to Western states is next day, Midwest is 2 days and East coast is typically 2-3 days.
