can I use a can sealer with this jar?

I honestly do not know. I have never tried, but I don't see why one wouldn't work.

Yes, you can use a VACUUM-type sealer that sucks all the air out of the jar -- I do it all the time. Food Saver brand does it very well, as long as the unit is capable of sealing 'cannisters'.

I'm not sure what you mean by "can sealer", unless you're referring to the type of machine used to seal a lid on all-metal cans. If so, then no you can't. These glass jars are intended for canning foods using either a water bath method or pressure canning method.

I am not sure what you mean by "canning". Foodsaver makes a jar attachment for regular and wide-mouth canning jars, but you cannot replace the canning process with this machine. It is only safe to vacuum-seal dry items in jars if you aren't going to process the jars in a water bath. Rice, whole grains such as wheat berries, beans, legumes, pasta, nuts, chocolate, freeze-dried foods, herbs, whole spices and many other dry food types will last much longer when vacuum-sealed in GLASS instead of plastic. Some whole grains will last years.

I just got a new jar. There is a sticker on the outside that you break when opening. No seal on the inside. Not really needed. Also a sticker on the outside with mfg date, shelf life & lot#.

Yes, and you can even reuse them for resealing with the vacuum sealer. To clarify you cannot reuse lids for water bath or pressure canning.

No, this is not good for canning. It's best for vacuum sealing something like coffee, and the Vacu Vin acts as the container for whatever you're trying to store. As soon as you open it, you break the vacuum seal.

i think it should work on any jar that it can seal on. it would have to be an almost exact fit for diameter, to fit in the sealing gasket.

Don't see why not. The glass is certainly thick enough, you may have to replace the lid gasket, but the jar should be great for cooled oils.

Yes, I tested a canning jar. It screwed in place and did not leak. Also tested on blender and it worked fine.

I am not familiar with the hand held FoodSaver, but to use the Jar Sealer you need to have a so called Accessory Hose, which is a thin, clear hose that I can pull from my FoodSaver V3880 model in order to insert it on the top of the Jar Sealer, just like depicted in the picture that shows the Jar Sealer. This hose does not come with the Jar Sealer.

There's an attachment that fits into the hole at the top of the jar sealer. The attachment is a 'nozzle' and tubing. If your hand held doesn't have this attachment then I don't think it will work.

Yes this machine can seal canning jars. Mine came with hose/port for doing that. Enjoy the machine.

If you put them in plastic bag! In order to really seal a Mason jar, you'd have to have a specially designed top for the jar. Most things that you'd can need heat anyway, I believe you'd just be adding complexity for no benefit. The FoodSaver works great as designed....to seal food in plastic. Canning works great as designed....to seal heated/cooked food in glass/metal. The two processes are different enough that you do not want to mix them.

It's made to be mixed with sealers, so it should work fine. It doesn't affect what you mix it with.

No. It is meant for use with the bags that have a special suction spot. Can't imagine how a mason jar could possibly work.

Sorry, not these, use the Tattler lids for canning. These have no seal on them.

Yes. But be careful with liquids, when using the reusable lid (which will seal mason jar lids): When I sealed a liquid, it sucked up some of the liquid into the hose, and there is no way to remove the hose to clean and dry it (without sending it for repair). Also, no way to fix the retractor on the hose, if you accidently go past the red. this is easy to do, since you have to pull out the cord, in order to get a simple retraction.

I used a similar waxless seal...be sure to follow directions on the packaging.
