Just to close this loop: the new jars are still too tall. They don't allow me to dip the end of the stem into it at a low-enough angle.
I'm realizing that what I really need are the short wide jars that some makeup comes in. I think I'll find what I want there. Here's the first one I found with a quick search:

My current tins are .8" high and 2.3" wide. The jars I linked to above are 1" high and 2.8" wide. So a bit taller and a bit wider, which should be ok. But I'm going to look some more before ordering because these are plastic and glass would be preferable.
I recommend you to go to your local supermarket and you will see many glass jars in the baby food aisle or the spices aisle or the isle where they sell salsa or olives, pimentos those also come in glass jars that you may find suitable. But I think you def want glass rather than any plastic container.
As far as long term storage i find that one boveda packet + the skin of an orange (sliced into quarters) yields very good results and infuses the weed with a pleasant orange scent. I think the boveda packet sucks up any extra humidity or moisture so no problems with mold and the weed stays fresh and hydrated.
Then it goes into a smaller glass spice jar (inside my nightstand) without anything extra because I want the weed to dry out after that before I actually vape it. And i am using weed that is over 2 years old in storage since I live in an illegal state and I managed to buy a Quarter Pound and that has lasted me over 2 years and i think I only smoked half of it in 2 years since the E-nano is so efficient.
I bought my first water piece ever today, Hemper Turbine its a 5 inch piece that was $30 shipped. It really is quite small as you see it next to the E-nano. I am still waiting for the GonG to arrive so the only way I have to use it is to smoke with a lighter. I will write a review soon. But i dont understand why so many people order from DH Gate and wait a month to get the piece (and pay like $25) when there are so many Hemper bongs available for $30 and it comes in 2 or 3 days (In the USA)
I think the Hemper bongs are a good deal, I would rather spend an extra 5 bucks and not have to wait a month. Amazing to think I waited over 2 years just with the dry stem and finally have decided to make the plunge into vaping with water.
Update: I have not smoked in like over 9 months (I only vape) and I took 1 hit with a lighter and got ZONKED! Wow! I forgot how much harder smoking hits you compared to vaping, and also I forgot the unpleasantness of the taste of combusted smoke and the nasty aftertaste that it leaves in your mouth.
