I just snip a small slit in the bag and then put it all in a vacuum bag. Works great!
Are you meaning that you put the original bag in the vacuum bag or that you transfer the contents to the vacuum bag and then seal. I have one and stopped using it because it used up the expensive bags. It was hard to make the bag large enough to use some of the contents and reseal and didn't realize that it was safe to reuse them.
