Yep with Slow Triathlete,
I use the quart jars, I believe, and get about 3 ounces, maybe a little more, in the jar.
I just put enough in so there's about 1 inch of space left on top, for the air. You may be able to get more in, depending on the tobacco. This is for ribbon cut. Cake and coins you will get more into the jar.
Target has some small jars, like 1/4 pint or smaller. They are round on top, square on the bottom and about 2-4 inches tall. The Foodsaver cannot seal these due to the shape of the jar, so avoid those if you can. Regular mason jars, wide mouth are fine. I see now that Foodsaver sells attachment for narrow size mason jars also. I may pick one up.
I'll try to get a picture or two up here soon. And feel free to bug me all ya want, always willing to help if I can. It's easier than it seems, believe me. Just remember to boil water in the jar to kill any bacteria.
