Does anyone else use pure glycerine to create a lubricant to avoid the bag going into vacuum or pancaking?

Is there something better to try?

I don't use lubricant anymore. In regards to the pancaking, if you have a vent on your bag, just cover it with tape. You will have to burp your bag if you have a lot of gas, but to me, it's better than pancaking.
