Thank you for your reviews. After watching this and a few other of your videos I have just purchased the JVR Vac100. I was extra grateful to be able to take advantage of the $100 off coupon.

[@FireWaterCooking]

you will love it! Enjoy!

[@gearymertz473]

I have the JVR Vac100 for about a month and it is a great machine in my opinion. I have used it for many things, Compressed watermelon is awesome. Thanks again for your reviews.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Thanks for sharing!

[@taz7173]

Thanks for the comparison. You should do a video using both to seal liquids for comparison.

[@FireWaterCooking]

they both do liquids the same....

[@barbaradumler6503]

How difficult and how often do you have to deal with the oil change??

[@FireWaterCooking]

depends on your usage.. about every 2 years on average, but it is really easy to do.. the oil gets moisture in it from use..

[@ciliap]

I've also been looking at the LEM MAXVAC which is at the 599.99-799.99 range but has some serious heft to it. I'm specifically looking to do retort canning which has some specific considerations when it comes to A) needing a chamber vac and B) needing something that's going to put on a decent seal through 7mil. Any thoughts?

[@FireWaterCooking]

well, how do you like the LEM? I am sure it is decent and that price point that Costco had them was really good... but it looks like they are gone now..

[@ajp1027]

Does it matter what types of bags you use in the jvr? Like size, thickness, what is suggested ? Can you do liquids, etc soups?

[@FireWaterCooking]

max bag size would be 12" x 15".. 3 mil thickness is standard but it will work with up to 7 mil thickness.. yes you can do liquids fine, you just have to allow for the shorted vacuum time or chill them before to avoid boiling them in the low pressure atmosphere inside the chamber..

[@rrmerlin3402]

@@FireWaterCooking The boiling is the o2 escaping not heat generation

[@Red_Proton]

I've watched a couple of your videos and I've found them very informative. Can you explain in a video the pros and cons of a vacuum chamber vs a non-vacuum chamber? Thanks.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Great suggestion! I am getting ready to do another series of reviews for some other chamber sealers so I guess I can do that.

[@Red_Proton]

@@FireWaterCooking Thank you, sir.

[@carolmelancon]

The Vac100 link in the description is missing. Darn it, I wanted to see you review the new VacMaster VP95. It's $700 (though they had an Independence Day deal). It looks quite nice.

[@FireWaterCooking]

fixed it...

[@ManCaveMeals]

Something is not right if the bag inflates like a balloon when the vacuum is being pulled

[@adrianacarter7549]

Man Cave Meals which vacuum chamber are you talking about when you said “something is not right”?????

[@larniestaton5896]

Just curious...can the Vac 100 seal retort bags?

[@FireWaterCooking]

if you are going to do Retort or Mylar bags you need to go with a machine that has an optional sealing bar that is made for those. This one does not have that option..

[@natnicnat593]

Hi which is a heavy duty model?

[@FireWaterCooking]

The Vac100 is the more heavy duty

[@adrianacarter7549]

It would be awesome to see a comparison between the JVR 100 and the VacMaster VP 95!!!! I’m trying to decide which to buy!!!

[@FireWaterCooking]

no need really. the VP95 is smaller, only does 8" wide bags, so if you are only looking to use 8" wide bags it may be for you.. the VP100 can do 12" wide bags or 2 6" bags at once. the vp100 can also fit on a counter top easier do to its lower profile.. use the code "Fireandwater" and it is the same price as the vp95 with free shipping jvrinc.com/shop-all-products/packaging-equipment/vac100-vacuum-sealer

[@adrianacarter7549]

Fire & Water Cooking Well you made my mind up for me!!!!!!! You’re a big help for this huge decision!I’ve been trying to make my mind up over a chamber vac for well over a month lol! JVR it is we are a family of six! You’re awesome! Thank you so so much!!!!! :)

It looks like you own both the VP210 and the Vac100. Which one is your go-to?

[@FireWaterCooking]

I sold the vp210 if that tells you anything.. :)

[@tomc3499]

@@FireWaterCooking That's definitely some good info. I'm on the fence between the 215 and the VAC100. Seems like the lighter weight and the reputation of JVR are gonna push me in that direction.

[@Thomas-ZET]

Will the avid do retort bags?

[@FireWaterCooking]

that is something you need to ask Avid Armor..

[@mhherr]

Unfair comparison. Why put a plate in the JVR and not the Avid Armor? The Avid Armor now ships with one plate, and additional plates may be purchased for less than $10 ea. I have no complaints about my Avid Armor chamber vac.

[@FireWaterCooking]

I have both and have no complaints either.. dont know why you are lashing out at me.. when I did this video the usv32 did not come with a plate, plus the jvr has a larger chamber… I was just showing the difference not trashing either

[@shopdh]

Where do you place the Vacmaster VP200 at $549

[@FireWaterCooking]

I do not know as I do not have one yet... BUT since it is a oil free dry pump, has similar size and power, it is in the same league as the Avid Armor. I hope to have one soon to compare

[@PantsLJones]

@@FireWaterCooking it looks to have a much bigger chamber than the avid armor. it also has a hookup on the outside for vacuum sealing containers.

[@FireWaterCooking]

@@PantsLJones not a bigger chamber, but a taller lid..

[@PantsLJones]

@@FireWaterCooking avid armor's site show their chamber as: Chamber Dimensions: 11.5” W x 12” L x 3.5” H, and vacmaster shows the VP200 as: 13.75” x 11.8” x 4.7” so it's 2.25" wider as well as 1.2" taller.

[@FireWaterCooking]

@@PantsLJones my vp200 arrived today.. I can tell you the Avid Armor is better... videos will be coming up soon...

[@Thebodfitness]

How well does this do with vac sealing chicken that has some juice still left on it? Does it make a mess inside and on the bag similar to a food saver?

[@FireWaterCooking]

no, chamber sealers work totally different from the foodsaver type. you can vacuum seal liquids just fine in them as they remove the air from the entire chamber, not just the bag..

[@georgestokes5116]

all these sealers that you are showing are way to small what about a roast or some ribs

[@FireWaterCooking]

what about them?

[@virgilsmith5792]

out of stock on the jvr

[@FireWaterCooking]

you can call them direct and do a pre-order.. they have some coming in this week. you can still use the code "fireandwater" for $100 off 716-206-2500

[@FireWaterCooking]

back in stock!

[@virgilsmith5792]

@@FireWaterCooking Thank you for replying. I went with the rebadged Vacpak-it from Meatyourmaker for $525 shipped with 12" seal bar and oil pump. It was one of those once in a lifetime deals during Thanksgiving.
