I have often wondered about vacuum sealing. I read somewhere about the idea that they need oxygen as well.
Something I might try is to seal the packs without vacuuming. I have 2 foodsavers, the older is more "manual" then the fancy new one we picked up in January. With the older one, you can place the bag directly on the heating strip and seal it up without even sucking out the air... Well, it thinks its vacuuming, you just don't put the bag in the chamber.
