You stop buying Kratom because you have nowhere left to store it.

...just kidding. You never stop.

The best strain is the one you haven’t bought yet.

:lol: Yep, this is me! I either need to stop buying kratom or start buying even more storage containers. But then, where to put them? I guess I could get rid of my couch...

Bins of kratom are decorating one corner of my bedroom. I have a couple Indian tapestries not currently in use, I suppose I could throw one over them. :lol:

I just had to clear out a new drawer in my second dresser because my giant 5 drawer Kratom one is full to the brim

I just use these rubbermaid brilliance air tight containers I got at walmart. I use the small ones that hold about 100 grams for the kratom that I am planning on using daily over the next few weeks so i dont have to keep exposing my 250 gram bags to the air everytime and then use that large airtight flour containers to put my 250 gram bags into, each one holds 4 250 gram bags. For my other 250 G bags I have just been double bagging it in ziploc freezer storage bags and squeezing all the air out. Definitely been trying to find better storage solutions. I seen herbal hippies mason jar storage collection and am now thinking I'll probably do that because jars are great at keeping stuff fresh.

my storage system is coming together slowly but surely...still feels too complicated, but living in a house that isnt so kratom friendly, its tough.

I try to rotate bags weekly. I fill an old leather camera bag with the 100g bags for the week and fill a medium size Vaultz storage box with ounce/smaller bags. also has a small shelf for extracts which i thankfully havent used in like 2 weeks !

as i use a bag, i use the Vaultz dividers to begin building a used area and rotate around as I pull bags. When I use something from the 100g camera-bag, i Toss it into a backpack which is kept in a regular blue plastic storage tub. Also in that tub is a shoebox in which holds the previous month's "used" ounce bags so they get 1 use and then put away.

Once that shoebox gets full, I go to the Large Vaultz storage box. This has almost all the rest of my ounce/sampler bags sorted by vendor.. I can't order any more ounces because I don't have any room for overflow small bags.

The backpack that holds 'used' rotated 100g bags gets full and I go to my "big bag hub"--- the travel case for my double bass drum pedal. A nice square that is just taller than a big bag standing up. holding about 35 100g bags in there now, maybe more. probably more. Used to be sorted by 'color' but it gets pulled from too much to do that anymore. can't fit all the big bags so the other two things are necessary.

With this system I often go over a month without trying the same batch. I have fewer 100g bags, and those are often the ones that have the better quality leaf so theres a more frequent switch going on from the pedal case.


FusedFlora showed me the cases from Pelican and thats the ideal scenario....but they are very costly. The Vaultz is pretty cool for what it does (locks!) and was cheap. I got a free Large one because I pointed out a sizing discrepancy on their website...cool stuff.
