10 Chamber Sealer Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed
“The appropriate countertop vacuum sealers typically come with the ability to apply accessories”
I think we can all agree that to have a useful chamber vacuum sealer for the kitchen, it must be able to provide a variety of functions. From our VacSeries selection, the JVR Vac100 is the most versatile and, therefore, most popular of our chamber vacuum sealers. Today we will look at all of the accessories available so you can take full advantage of the versatility and effectiveness of the JVR Vac100 chamber sealer for kitchen applications!

The Versatility and Effectiveness of the JVR Vac100
To make a compelling case, both sides must be considered. So let’s summarize what makes each vacuum sealer type great!

What Makes the External Vacuum Sealer Great?
The appropriate countertop vacuum sealers typically come with the ability to apply accessories. A traditional vacuum sealer has many advantages due to its accessory capability. This opens the door to an array of vacuum packaging opportunities that are generally limited when it comes to a chamber sealer including vacuum sealing any size mason jar, canisters, and wine stoppers.

What Makes VacSeries Chamber Vacuum Sealers Great?
With 52 years of vacuum packaging experience, JVR Industries has intentionally stuck by constructing our VacSeries units as chamber sealers housing an oil pump. Reasons include:
Chamber Style: Provides compatibility with cheaper bag options and can safely vacuum seal liquids.
Oil Pump: Provides the longest lifespan and produces nearly a full vacuum draw with 99.8% of air pulled. Anticipate the longest shelf life and practically eliminate freezer burn (read more about the benefits of oil pumps here)!

Best All-Around Chamber Vacuum Sealer
Simply put, the JVR Vac100 defies the saying “A jack of all trades, master of none”.
Hear me out – do you know all of those advantages listed above? The JVR Vac100 masters them all plus more due to its accessory capability, officially making it the all-around best chamber vacuum sealer for your kitchen!
Available Vac100 Accessories
Let’s list all of the accessories available for the JVR Vac100. You might find something you didn’t know you needed!

Vac100 Cover
The JVR Vac100 is intentionally designed with an aesthetically modern appearance to match any kitchen. If you want to maintain this appearance and protect your machine from any dust or particles during storage, a Vac100 cover is available with durability and aesthetics in mind! Plus it is easy to apply – simply place it over the machine.
NOTE: Covers are also available for the Vac110, Vac310, and Vac410 chamber vacuum sealers as well!

Retort Bar Assembly
The ability to seal retort pouches and mylar bags is a feature that often catches the eye of vacuum packagers. The Vac100 is one of the only countertop chamber vacuum sealers to boast this function with the Retort Bar Assembly handy! The retort bar assembly is equipped with a thinner, concave seal heat strip built to produce and withstand more concentrated heat production.
NOTE: A Vac110 Retort Bar is also available for the Vac110 chamber vacuum sealer.

Chamber Accessory (3 GALLON)
The Chamber Accessory (3 GALLON) practically acts as a whole other chamber space but is much larger. While the Vac100 chamber has a limited space specifically considering vacuum sealing mason jars, the Chamber Accessory changes the game with a 3-gallon volume able to fit up to two 64-ounce (1/2) wide mouth Ball mason jars!
But that’s not all! Common uses include, but are not limited to:
1. Marinating meats in bulk.
2. Expedited pickling.
3. Pair it with an immersion circulator for sous vide baths.
4. Or a personal favorite – infuse cold brew coffee in under 25 minutes!

Stainless Steel Canisters
Want to package dry foods in your pantry such as dry beans or rice? Our VacLok line recently upgraded to providing stainless steel canisters as opposed to plastic allowing them to withstand a higher vacuum, therefore, expanding the expected shelf life for your products.
Sizes include 0.7L, 1.0L, and 1.3L canisters and are available for purchase separately or as a VacLok canister set that contains one of each size.
NOTE: The 1.0L VakLok Stainless Steel Canister is automatically included with the purchase of the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer!

Hand Pump for VacLok Canisters
Need to package leftovers on the go during vacation or a hunting trip but don’t have your Vac100 handy! The Hand Pump for VacLok Canisters makes sealing your canisters easy and convenient for anywhere at any time keeping your food fresh and easily accessible.

Newly Added Canister Lid
Oops! Cracked the lid to your VacLok stainless steel canister? The VacLok canister lid recently became available as a separate accessory so you no longer have to purchase a whole new canister just for the lid! As a bonus, the VacLok lid is compatible with all three VacLok sizes (0.7L, 1.0L, and 1.3L) saving you the hassle of searching for each complimentary size!

Wine Stopper
Are you a one glass of wine per weekend type of guy or gal? Or maybe you are the designated holiday host and winding up with leftover wine is common. The Wine Stopper Accessory is available to vacuum seal your wine keeping it fresh for up to a month! Seal with either the accessory port on your Vac100 or with the hand pump.
NOTE: CAN NOT BE USED TO SEAL SPARKLING WINES.

Accessory Hose
The Accessory Hose is the key to sealing the chamber accessory (3 gallon), the VacLok canisters, and the wine stopper using the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer.
NOTE: The Accessory Hose is included along with additional package contents upon purchase at no extra cost!

Foodsaver Conversion Hose for FoodSaver Accessories
Did you begin your vacuum packaging journey with a FoodSaver-type vacuum sealer, then convert over to the Vac100? Don’t waste the accessories you used with your FoodSaver! We provide a Foodsaver Conversion Hose equipped with a 5.5mm vacuum port that allows you to use the Vac100 to vacuum seal any FoodSaver accessories.

Last, But Not Least – “Sqwaky” The Seal Tester!
Sqwaky began as a tradition and has now moved his way up as a recent (and quite possibly our favorite) addition to the VacSeries accessories. Sqwaky was purposed as a symbol that your VacSeries chamber vacuum sealers were thoroughly inspected and could prove a perfect seal amusingly by vacuum sealing Sqwaky in his pouch.
Purchase Sqwaky as your personal heat seal tester after replacing a part of your chamber vacuum machine. Or purchase Sqwaky for fun – we wouldn’t blame you!
