Hello. Jar Sealer is compatible wit unit VS3182. Simply remove the bottom reservoir on the hand held sealer in order to get an opening to the second nuzzle that you can use directly on the jar sealer attachment.

I have used a food saver for many years. &nbsp;It lost suction so I bought a new one. &nbsp; Returned it the next day&hellip;it was a piece of crap. &nbsp;Repaired&nbsp;my old unit myself. &nbsp;The vacuum hose had split. &nbsp;Has worked like a charm after the hose repair. &nbsp;I seal limited soup and other items regularly. &nbsp;I hang the bag below the sealer level, supported with my hand. Vacuum until Liquid reaches the top then I manually seal. &nbsp;Freeze flat. &nbsp;Works for me!&nbsp;

Thanks for reaching out to us. We will be more than happy to answer your question! You do not need an additional hose, you can use the retractable handheld sealer of your unit - please remove the clear bottom reservoir and connect the tip to the containers.
