Ahhh yes. Divorce sells are good. I hooked my RYO friends up for life with that sale with plenty left over.
Tried spraying some rum on some and different things to see what the results would be.

I have used mason jars for flakes and never run into any issues. Curious why you say this.
Most likely sticking flakes together. And some flakes are not really solid. Say c&d fer instance. And the newminster flake i had in past would often look like Ennerdale mixture after a week in mail.
My problem is mainly that bulk requires time to properly store which I slack on. I still have stuff from the apocalypse over the last year I gotta jar/Mylar :/
Definitely gonna try to get it all sorted by the holidays.
I also agree there's little more satisfying than stacks of tins. For my OCD-addled brain the variety and artwork and stacking is half the fun. The bulk helps build a solid backbone in the blends/types you most enjoy to actually smoke ofc.. but I've never felt regret for paying for tins even if I later found a bulk option.
The closest way I can possibly describe it is the feeling like that a squirrel may have after hoarding away a few lifetimes worth of nuts and settling into their burrow as the blizzard of the century descends outside lol... but instead like, yanno... with tins of textured craft paper embossed with golden Blue-whales and cartoons of men in profile with handlebar moustaches and whatnot...

Same procrastination here. Especially if the bulk comes vacuum sealed in good quality bags. Tend to throw them in a Rubbermaid tub with a few humidification bags.My problem is mainly that bulk requires time to properly store which I slack on.

If you pack the Flakes in too tight, it's difficult to remove them intact.
That makes sense. I have never been bothered by broken flake cause I always rub them out anyway so I have never thought about that much.
