Vacum sealer/ impulse sealer question.........
    #7816785 - 12/31/07 11:54 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

If I had a food saver vacum sealer, the one with the option to seal without creating a vacum if you want, could I use that to seal myco bags? I know it would seal the bags that come with the foodsaver, but will it work with mycobags? Any kind of insight would be helpful.

I have a Foodsaver and it works just fine to impulse seal standard bags. Since the element on the Foodsaver is not replaceable, I would personally use it in a limited capacity. It's a heck of a lot cheaper spending $10.00 or less to replace the element on a standard sealer than spending $75+ on a Foodsaver unit.

Hey how have you been? Anyway, thanks for the insight. What kind of bags do you use?

I'm doing pretty well. Super busy, but plugging along. You?

As far as the bags are concerned, I use Unicorn's Large 3B bags. They are the thick kind, I'd say about 2mil in thickness. I only run it for about 3-4 seconds and turn it off manually when I had to use the Foodsaver. You'll have to play with it to see what works with the bags you have.
