With the top in place, does this become airtight? I want to use it to store tinctures, which are made with alcohol and would evaporate quickly.

I got two, and I feel they do become airtight if all air is taken out first, by that I mean fill complete to over fill. I use them all the time, I will if I need to buy again.

I use them for Limoncello, and they seem to seal pretty tight. I would say, yes they are air tight as they are placed on their sides with the liquid against the top and show no signs of leaks.

We use it for home-made Limoncello and store the bottle on its side with no leaks or drips.

Yes, it is very airtight. I use mine for Olive Oil but I am sure that it would work great for your tinctures as well.

No, the top just slips down in place. I really do not use the top. I find milk stays fresh longer in this glass container without the top.

Like a rubber seal? No. It just has a rim that's all. So, it's not airtight or anything. Not sure if that answered the question

It is not totally air tight. I don't fill it up completely, so I'm adding beans every few days. Having said that, I've never had an issue with freshness.

It's not air-tight but the top lid and drawer fit very well. Something would have to be very small to get in. You could always tape the seams if you needed to.

Yes. Because you are sealing it while the beverage is still fresh so no air is going into it to "flatten" it - it remains fresh. I can say I have gone back after 3-4 days and it was still good.

I used mine to store salt and sugar scrubs that had EOs and Coconut Oil in them. We use the scrubs too fast for me to tell you about long term storage but I had one for 3 months and nothing happened to the glass of the jar nor the coated underside of the metal lid. Hope this helped!

I don't think the lid is supposed to be airtight. Mine has a small amount of unlevel, but it works perfectly fine. My experience in all my glass lid (metal edged) lids on crock pots is that once the moisture rises to the lid and flows to the lid edge a sort of water-seal forms with the shoulder of the crock and there is no unacceptable moisture loss.

I don't think it is 100% airtight. I never had ants when I used it but I truly don't believe it to be airtight

Should! May not as long because it is not airtight, but you should be able to store short term. Month or so, I would think.

I supposeYou could always just cut off the top/bottom (like when you're low on toothpaste) and store in an air right container. Granted I have never used the product or know how strong the bottle is, but it seems like a practical solution.

I don't. I have a container that is pretty airtight. I have never had any problems.

I'm not really sure what you mean by airtight. It doesn't seal like a canning process does, but it keeps the contents of the jar fresh and I often shake mine without leakage as I use it to store smoothies after I make a large carafe and can't drink it all. Hope that helps.

It does not really have a dedicated spot for the top. We store ours in a closet.

It can certainly be placed on the top during infusion, but does not fit like a lid.This is an excellent item!

There is no seal, it just rests on top. I would not use it to keep food items in, unless it were something like candy that does not go stale.

I have kept alcohol in mine for weeks at a time with no problem. In my opinion the metal will not corrode as denatured alcohol can be purchased in metal cans, so as long as air does not get to it the alcohol will not evaporate.
