DMS™ Vacuum Storage – Field-Proven Discovery
DMS™ was not developed in a lab; it was proven in the field.
Through years of controlled storage experiments across multiple environments, one consistent failure became impossible to ignore: standard jars, food-saver bags, and so-called “air-tight” containers all allow slow oxygen seepage.
The Observation
Over dozens of storage cycles, flower that was sealed in traditional jars—even with oxygen absorbers—showed measurable degradation. Color shifted from vivid green to brown, terpene sharpness dulled, and potency dropped.
The cause wasn’t visible contamination or light exposure. It was oxygen diffusion through microscopic gaps in rubber gaskets, zipper seams, and polymer films.
The Realization
Light control alone wasn’t enough. Even in total darkness, oxidation continued. That proved “curing” culture had been misunderstood: the smoother smoke people attributed to long cures was in fact partial degradation—the breakdown of top-layer terpenes and cannabinoids, not refinement.
Controlled Comparisons
- Standard glass jars: retained moisture but lost volatile monoterpenes first; top layers flattened after several months.
- Vacuum-sealed food bags: slowed degradation but failed at heat-seal seams, allowing slow re-oxygenation.
- Commercial “terp” or “grove” bags: performed similarly; oxidation persisted despite humidity control.
- 10-mil mylar with vacuum evacuation: maintained color, aroma, and resin integrity beyond one year with no visible browning or terpene collapse
The Conclusion
True preservation requires atmospheric isolation, not just a closed lid.
Rubber and glass create tension seals—not hermetic barriers. Over time, oxygen inevitably re-enters, oxidizing cannabinoids and destroying the complex profiles that define elite cannabis.
The DMS™ Solution
DMS™ vacuum storage was engineered to correct this fundamental flaw.
By combining a pump-seal vacuum system with light-blocking materials and controlled atmospheric pressure, DMS™ jars maintain internal freshness far beyond traditional containers. The result is stasis rather than slow decay—flower that remains true to its harvest character months after storage.
