- After getting myself into long term food preservation I decided to buy myself a used commercial Vacmaster VP210 chamber vacuum sealer. Of course after paying for it and having it shipped to my house I started to do my research and found that many people were saying that most chamber vacuum sealer cannot properly seal mylar. So, I wondered if the VP 210 could do it. Check out my video, as unprofessional as it is. to find out the results.

Thanks! That's good news. Like you, I bought the sealer (VacMaster VP95) without knowing ahead of time that long-term storage (thus, mylar) would become part of the plan. Haven't tried this yet.
JUST the video i was looking for...THANKS
Great vid bro!
I own a JVR Vac 100 chamber sealer that does mylar bags using an accessory heating bar bought separately ($50.00) to be used specifically for mylar and it works great!! Happy sealing :)
I am just getting a JVR 100 --- veryexcited. What is your best source for quality mylar bags? I did get the extra bar to do them.
👍 Nice!
Very curious on the freeze dryer
Stumbled across this video. I'm sure I'm not the only one but I'd love to see more videos one this sealer and canning and freeze drying. Did you ever get the freeze dryer in?
Oh where are yall from? I'm down in south Louisiana
We did vet our freeze dryer and it works great. This vacuum sealer is handy to have around the house, though unsightly when in your kitchen. If you have a walk in pantry or someplace like that to keep it ib, better. You can marinate meats, seal frozen foods to make them last longer, and more. If you want to see more content like this I suggest joining a Facebook group for freeze drying. There are several. Best wishes.
@@trentlife glad to hear. I'm good it was more of a suggestion to you for content. No offense
Have a good one.
What year was your sealer manufactured?
will it seal a 16Ml mylar bag?
does it crush crunchy/ delicate food like a regular vacuum sealer would ?
Yes if the vacuum is strong enough. You can minimize the vacuum time to lessen the crushing of your food, but then why would you want to be using the vacuum sealer at that point anyway?
@@trentlife With potato chips I let it run for about five seconds and then I stop, seal so that the potato chips do not get crushed
Yes
Given the correct vacuum sealer, you could just vacuum delicate stuff inside a mason jar or even a pot with a vacuum lid...
Do you know how many millimeters (mm) the bag is? I'm seeing that they come in different thicknesses. Thanks.
I don't recall the thickness of the bag. Those bags were pretty thick. You can adjust for varying bag thicknesses by experimenting a little with your time.
@@ConstructionFinance thanks.
What's the difference in the 210 and 215? Just the oil?
215 has a oil pump, usually get a little bit more air out.
a chamber will seal any bags, theres no need to pay extra for those meant for suction sealer.
Will it do ziplock bags?
@@nkay95 Think the baggie would melt ad not seal. I have used potato chip bags tho
Yeah, I was wondering Why he would spend so much on vacuum seal bags! It defeats half of the purpose of spending all that money on a chamber vacuum! Sure, you want thicker quality bags but not bags that cost more to manufacture for a machine where it makes no difference!
Does it seal with any type of freezer bag ?
Tough to say. I haven't tried every type of freezer bag. It seals mylar though and it also seals vacuum seal bags.
Air in water bag, run the vacuum longer
Actually, you have to run it shorter. Water will boil if the water temp temp is 64F and you pull more than 29.32 in/Hg vacuum. So to keep the water from boiling off into air, assuming we're going with 64F water temp, you'll need to pull less than 29.32 in/Hg of vacuum.
My intent was not to remove air from the bag but to test the sealer to see if it created a no-leak bag situation, which it did successfully.
Question that you should be asking. Why did You make the mistake Buying the wrong brand.
You had best read the mfg specs. It will say will not seal mylar. I have a vp230 and the seal looks good but if you pull on it it will pop right open. I also FD but will not trust the seal. I even called vacmaster to try to turn up the time and they said no I can't do that.
Mine doesnt pull apart. Works great.
If you still want to vacuum in mylar I'd try running it with the suboptimal seal time and then just reinforce the seal with an impulse server. the vacmaster seal only needs to hold until you can walk over to the impulse :)
I just received my no name vacuum chamber sealer last night. I was sealing the mylar bags that came with my freeze dryer at 4.5 seconds double that for cooling. They are sealed up right you're not pulling them apart. At full vacuum the noodles in my soup are crushed but I don't care. And no need for oxygen absorbers because I'm pulling near full vacuum. This is near the perfect long term compact food storage solution.
@@ericahrendt489 which machine did you get? I’m trying to figure out which machine to buy
My 215 seals the thicker 7mil (14mil total)mylar perfectly…even at 1.2 seconds you cant pull it apart.
