The Truth About “Smart Vacuum Jars”: Why DMS™ Is Real Vacuum Preservation — and Herb Guard Isn’t
The AutoCure Smart Jar by Herb Guard is often marketed as a “vacuum-sealed” solution for cannabis storage. At first glance, its electronic display and built-in humidity sensors give the impression of advanced preservation technology.
But here’s the critical truth:
AutoCure is not a vacuum system.
It does not remove air, nor does it maintain a negative-pressure seal. Instead, it cycles air inside the container to stabilize humidity — a process that actually introduces fresh oxygen every time the fan activates. That means terpene oxidation, cannabinoid degradation, and aroma loss continue over time, even with digital readouts and sensors.
Real vacuum storage isn’t digital — it’s physical.
The DMS™ Vacuum System uses manual negative-pressure sealing to remove all oxygen from the environment, halting oxidation and preserving terpenes at their natural peak.
Let’s break it down:
Digital sensors may look impressive, but preservation is a chemical reality, not a gadget feature.
Every time oxygen re-enters a jar, terpene molecules oxidize, leading to the “flat” aroma and muted flavor growers often mistake for curing. The DMS™ Vacuum System stops that process entirely — no fans, no sensors, just science and airtight physics.
In short:
“Smart” jars manage data.
DMS™ preserves reality.
