How to store dry ice pellets in a glass bottle?
There are many ways to store dry ice inside a glass jar. The most common method is to simply seal the jar airtight. This keeps the dry ice from melting through the glass.

Dry ice will escape as gas through this hole, and the jar will return to normal pressure

If you do opt to purchase new ones, make sure they are thick and have a secure seal.
