With the legalization of cannabis occurring around the world a Stash Box is becoming a must-have accessory. The stigma associated with cannabis is evaporating and it’s time to ditch the shoeboxes and Tupperware containers in favour of a quality Stash Box. With that being said, there are several important factors to consider to ensure your needs are met. Here are the 5 most important factors to consider when choosing a Stash Box:
1. Size
Small Stash Boxes:
- Ideal for discreet storage of small amounts of cannabis and a couple of accessories. Good for storing joints, rolling papers, and a grinder. Great if you need something portable and unobtrusive.
Large Stash Boxes:
- Suitable for moderate amounts of cannabis and a variety of accessories, providing more space without being overly bulky.
- With a Large Stash Box, there will be room for Stash Jars, allowing for multiple strains. There will also be room for the most important accessory in your kit, the rolling tray.
- Organization is extremely important, including labeling strains and storing accessories in specific spots. Accessories should be easily accessible and have very specific locations or compartments within the Stash Box. For example, a lid compartment is ideal for rolling papers. The last thing you want is to be frustrated looking for items.
- With the proper Stash Box with accessories convenience can be drastically increased, especially when rolling a joint or when cleaning up after rolling a joint. Bzz Box has The OG Stash Box that has a rolling tray with a hole in it, and a stash jar that is strategically located directly below the hole, for sweeping unused cannabis back into its stash jar, resulting in the easiest cleanup possible.
XL Stash Boxes:
- Best for storing larger quantities of cannabis and multiple types of items. Ideal for home use where portability isn’t a primary concern.
- XL Stash Boxes have Stash Jars that are much larger, holding an ounce or more per stash jar.
- An XL Stash Box has all of the same features that a Large Stash Box has but with a lot more room. Accessories like small bongs and rigs can be stored in an XL Stash Box.
- Some XL Stash Boxes are so large that they even have side handles to make it easier to pick up and move.
- Material
- Plastic: Lightweight and often smaller in size. Look for high-density plastic for durability. It’s usually less secure but can offer good odor control if well-sealed. Not ideal for storing a tray, or stash jars.
- Metal: Offers a high level of security and durability. Aluminum and steel are common choices. Metal boxes are generally more robust and decent at odor control. A bit clunky and not ideal for most stash jars.
- Wood/Bamboo: Aesthetically pleasing and can be quite sturdy. Wood can offer very good smell-proofing especially when combined with airtight Stash Jars. Be sure to select a wooden Stash Box with reinforced corners to avoid splitting at the corner seam. Not all wooden Stash Boxes are alike. Read reviews and look for quality construction. An additional option for wood is customization. Wooden Stash Boxes can be laser engraved to make your Stash Box more personal and special.
- Odor Control
- Smell Proof: Look for stash boxes that are advertised as "smell proof" or "odor proof." These often feature specialized seals to contain odors. Look to make sure that the lid closes securely on the base of the Stash Box and that there are no gaps between the two sections.
- Airtight Seals: Ensures that odors are contained. Check to make sure that the Stash Jars that come with the Stash Box are airtight when closed. Oxygen is not a friend of cannabis longevity and freshness.
- Portability
- Compact Design: If you need to carry it around, a compact and lightweight design is preferable. A concise configuration for specific accessories creates less movement within the box and will make for better travel.
- Handles: Boxes with handles will make picking up and moving your Stash Box easier to transport.
- Locking Mechanism
- Combination Locks: Provide a keyless way to secure your stash. Make sure to remember your combination, or choose a Stash Box with a lock that is easy to reset.
- Key Locks: Traditional and often more secure if you can keep track of the key.
- Quality: There are thousands of combination locks and key locks available. Read reviews to see if a particular Stash Box has a cheap lock or a robust locking mechanism. Keep your stash safe. Edibles can be harmful to children when consumed. They won’t realize that they are consuming edibles and not regular candy. Make certain to spend a bit more to get the quality lock that you require.
Additional Tips:
- Ease of Use: Make sure the box is easy to open and close, especially if you’ll be using it frequently.
- Design and Aesthetics: Choose a design that fits your style or needs, whether that’s a sleek modern look or a more classic appearance.
When selecting a smell proof stash box, balance the factors of size, material, odor control, portability, and the locking mechanism used based on your personal needs and preferences. Opt for a smell-proof and airtight box if odor control is a priority, and ensure the material and locking mechanism align with your security requirements.
