Altoids or Pill Bottle?

if its hiding the smell you're worried about i'd use a prescription pill bottle

 

in the pill bottle for sure and i think most of them are air tight so you dont even have to worry bout the smelll

 

exactly

 

Pill bottles are air tight, and keep moisture out. Pill bottles are very convienent, but a mason jar is the absolute best way to keep your herb preserved.

 

i was under the impression it was the other way around- i thought that pill bottles WERE pill tight, and altoids cans never seemed like they would be absolutely air tight(even though im sure they're pretty close). im sure both me and the OP would greatly appreciate it if someone could clear this up. im interested now...

but it would have to be some INCREDIBLY good and smelly herb for it to smell outside of a pill bottle(or probably an altoids can...). and, if you wrap it in dryer sheets and shove it in a sock or two, if you tucked it away i cant see why it wouldnt be fine. i mean, if you just left it sitting on your desk or bed, it would NOT be a good idea. but if you hid it at the bottom of a drawer, or something, like i said it would be fine. i mean, make sure no one would find it cause it might be a little suspicious... why theres a sock with a little lump in it... but yeah.

 

i use a glass baby food jar for my buds

 

Pill bottles are air tight. They're great.

Altoids containers are not airtight, let smell out easily, and are kind of low quality, which hurts their usefulness. I do use tins, but not normally altoids ones, because of how flimsy they are. I have a couple sucrets losenge tins that I like, that are normally ashtrays but sometimes hold bud also in a baggy, and a very old "Dr. miles anti-pain pills" which appear to have been pretty.... potent, judging from their era and packaging.

Anyway, pill bottles are better.

If you need some I think CVS or somewhere will sell them to you empty or maybe just give you some, just ask.

 

The cap has an insert, which is what seals off the bottle, the hard outer part just protects it and holds it on. That said, they really are not always perfectly air tight, but I've never had bud get too wet or dry in one, so long as it was not used for more than a week. They're just for the bit you're currently smoking, ideally. I've had them in my pocket and gotten soaked, hailed on, probably had hot slag hit them, sat on them, and more, they're troopers.

 

i have the same situation as u. wat i do is i surround wrap my buds. then put them in the pill bottles. then i have a smell proof. bag which pretty much works well. then i put that in a kinda airtight tin can again. and i put that in my closet. no smell unless u open that all up XD

 

pill bottle, film canister, m&m mini container thing all keep most of the smell in. i keep mine in a mason jar if i have more then an 8th but all the previous work great for small amounts.

 

some great ideas
thanks, gonna +rep you

i'm always looking for new places to put joints in so i can take them places without them breaking.

pill bottle, film canister, altoids container, m&ms mini container, all perfect for that, thanks

 

Buy a little mason jar for 99 cents from your local hardware store

 

Pill bottles for herb, altoid tins for joints.

 

Neither are air tight.

Mason jars for the win.

 

pill bottles work perfectly fine, u can also put some "illegal" pills in it too, so u can have the "see, my advil bottle actually has some advil in it" shaking noise-effect.

 

I always use a pill bottle.. I have alittle chillum that fits perfectly in the bottle along w/ a few grams of herb thats perfect for boating and all that stuff.. I have fell in the water before and nothing in the pill bottle has gotton wet

 

Pill bottles work OK for short term storage, but that trick would only fool a brain dead imbecile. It's also not the healthiest thing to be smoking Advil (or whatever) residue on your bud

 

just get a cigarette tube for joints theyre nice and small and the perfect size
