In the cannabis world, keeping your stash fresh and potent is key. Divine Tribe’s ultraviolet (UV) glass jars are designed just for that, offering a practical and effective solution for preserving light-sensitive materials.
UV glass works by blocking harmful rays that can damage your cannabis products. This protection is essential for things like concentrates, essential oils, terpenes, and flavonoids, which can lose their strength and change chemically when exposed to light. Divine Tribe’s UV glass jars keep these materials fresh and potent for a longer time.
These jars come in various sizes: 5ml, 50ml, 100ml, 500ml, and 1000ml. The larger sizes are easy to access but aren’t childproof. The 5ml jar is available in a childproof version also, giving you options based on your needs.
Craftsmanship is a big deal for Divine Tribe. Their 5ml jars are made from the darkest UV glass, with no coatings, to ensure maximum protection. The lids screw on smoothly and seal tightly, a detail that shows Divine Tribe’s commitment to quality. This level of care has made these jars popular among local processors and makers, especially in Humboldt, CA, where Divine Tribe is based.
For international customers, Divine Tribe offers custom shipping solutions due to higher costs. It’s recommended that international buyers contact the company for an accurate shipping quote before ordering. In the USA, orders of 200 jars or more are shipped via UPS ground to ensure safe and secure delivery.
Divine Tribe also provides exact dimensions for each jar, making it easy to create custom stickers. The 5ml jars are sized to match leading European glass jars, so pre-cut stickers fit perfectly, giving your jars a professional look.
Overall, Divine Tribe’s UV glass jars are a smart choice for anyone looking to keep their cannabis products fresh and potent. With a blend of science and quality craftsmanship, these jars offer an effective storage solution that stands out.
The Science Behind UV Glass Protection
Cannabis degradation is primarily caused by three factors: light, oxygen, and heat. Of these, light exposure is the most damaging and the hardest to control with regular storage containers. UV glass addresses this directly by blocking the harmful wavelengths of visible light (400-700nm) while allowing a small amount of beneficial violet light through.
Studies have shown that cannabis stored in clear glass can lose up to 15% of its THC content in just a few months of light exposure. Terpenes — the compounds responsible for flavor and aroma — are even more sensitive, degrading rapidly when exposed to UV and visible light. UV glass jars effectively eliminate this problem.
What to Store in UV Glass
While cannabis flower is the obvious choice, UV glass jars are equally valuable for storing:
- Concentrates — Wax, shatter, and live resin all benefit from light protection
- Terpene isolates — Pure terpenes are extremely light-sensitive
- Essential oils — Same light sensitivity applies to non-cannabis botanicals
- Edibles — THC-infused products maintain potency longer in UV glass
- Kief and hash — Fine particles are particularly vulnerable to degradation
Size Guide
Divine Tribe UV glass jars come in sizes to match every need. The smaller jars (5ml) are perfect for daily-use concentrate storage — keep a session worth ready without exposing your main stash. Mid-size jars work well for weekly flower supplies, while the larger options are ideal for long-term curing and storage.
For best results, fill jars as full as possible to minimize the air inside. Less air means less oxidation, keeping your cannabis fresher for longer. Some users pair UV glass with humidity packs for the ultimate preservation setup.
Part of a Complete Setup
UV glass storage pairs naturally with quality vaping equipment. Keep your concentrates fresh in UV jars, then enjoy them through the Divine Tribe V5 or Core 2.0 eRig. Fresh, properly stored material always tastes better and goes further. Check out our guide on hemp products for more from the Divine Tribe lineup.
