Have learned to just slow down and cool the heat strip with a cold water rinsed towel. Will try the sealing 2 at a time.

Im pretty sure the heat thing is on the tranformers inside to the heat strips, not the actual heat strips.
Thu keeping them clean certainly makes a difference in reliable seals.

Vacuum packing is such a worthwhile effort👍👍
I buy my bags through Banggood Chinese site - way cheaper!

this 'Banggood" site sounds interesting...

Islander, how did you get on? As others have said bags are cheaper on line, there is an on line NZ supplier that's pretty good too but forgot their name.]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2020 18:17:53 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133627&PID=1787474&title=vacuum-packers#1787474 <![CDATA[Vacuum Packers : Fishb8 wrote:I find my Innovation...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133627&PID=1787473&title=vacuum-packers#1787473 Author: smudge

That's not normal. My Innovation goes for hours but then I fill the bags then seal them rather than fill a heap and seal a heap. What are you doing Roy?

Well I took on the recommendations of the innovations above.
Sunbeam now is on the shelf collecting dust.

Just returned from the Waikato, with lamb and 1/2 a beast.
Stopped in at marine deals purchased an innovation and extra bags and began the bagging with the new innovation.
Stoked, it works as a good tool should.

Thanks for the recommendations.]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2020 18:24:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133627&PID=1787269&title=vacuum-packers#1787269 <![CDATA[Vacuum Packers : Yes, i have has an Innovation...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133627&PID=1786617&title=vacuum-packers#1786617 Author: kaveman
