Vacuum sealing jars of Simple Syrup

canningglucose-syrupvacuum

So I'm looking to make some simple syrups (lavender, basil, etc…). In looking around I see that making 1:1 syrups via the "hot" process it should safely last two weeks and up to a month.

If I were to get a vacuum sealer, would that preserve it longer? This would be a resealable system, not a one time seal process. If the vacuum sealer would be effective what product specifically would do so?

Preliminary I was looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0023-01-Wide-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B00005TN7H

Perhaps there is something better or perhaps this is not meant for liquids.

sealing a jar just to reseal it is not practical and would not help preserve the longevity of these syrups and shrubs.
