I am actually kind of sad about the change, but for a very silly reason - I liked to re-use the nice mylar bags during divvying up and resealing my hops - and these new nitrogen-flushed bags seem like they're too "slick" for my FoodSaver to find the air in the bag. It fails to vacuum pretty much every time. Just means I have to use more FoodSaver bags than I have in the past, that's all. Oh well.
I have not tried it and you probably have, but I was reading the other day about cutting off a piece of a non-foodsaver bag, placing it inside the mouth of the mylar bag, ridges down, and then vacuuming it. Seems this helps folks get good suction on mylar.
