Can paintballs be stored in pods?

[Magnus55]

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but can I safely store my paintballs in my pods for long term storage? I have the basic Veiwloader 104 round pod. Are these pods airtight? If so can I store my balls without risk of swelling or damage to them?

Its better to put them bag back into the bags that you got them in. The reason is the balls will have more room to move around. In the pod they are pretty stuffed in there, not that it is a big problem, but depending the the storage time you can: dimple the ball, drop a tube and break paint, etc. So just to be on the safe side, put them back in the bag, throw it into a dark cool dry corner. Regardless, pbs stay fresh for only about 1 month.

yes i think that the pods put flat spots in the balls

OK thanks guys. :)

yeah, the bag seems less damaging to the balls and is more airtight than the pods
