It's not that the glass absorbs ions, but that it releases contaminants that react with ions. Vinegar and ionic silver forms Silver Acetate which is actually more soluble in water than plain silver ions and shouldn't be a big problem, but whatever else that's in Kim Chee could be.

It is said that pickle jars are no good because they absorb ions throwing off any CS batches

My quick test showed this--->>>

   * I used a jar that a local Korean shop sells their kim-chee in
   * there is quick turnover in the kim chi
* Thus the jar has not been on supermarket shelf for months with glass absorbing stuff for months * So I used one jar that I had bought kim-chee in...this kim chee only lasted a week here. Got eaten quickly. So lets say kim chi was in it for two weeks * Jar B was the same type jar but never ever used...because I bought three empty never used jars at from this exact same Korean store
   * So Jar A ---- kim chee was in it
   * Jar B---- virgin never used
   * Making colloidal silver in both jars this is what I got---->>>>
* same uS final result in jar A and jar B. No difference in final uS reading
   * but laser light was fainter in virgin jar B
* So virgin glass seems to give more ionic silver and fewer particles of what? Silver oxides and hydroxides?

Thanks
