Kimchi with CO2 or Without

I'm still experimenting with mason jar whey infused kimchi. I had read that some people prefer to taste of kimchi that off gassed the CO2. I'm not sure which way I prefer it so I made a 4 quart batch leaving the top 1/4 of each jar empty. Two jars received airlocks and two are closed with standard mason jar lids. Next week I should have a favorite to share with you. Bubbles or no bubbles, that is the question.

Were any of these vacuum sealed also?

I don't recall if I vacuumed any of these jars. I'm still experimenting with the bubbler setup. Now I'm trying to keep the kimchi unrefrigerated with bubblers for longer periods of up to two weeks to see how it holds.
