"freezing" juice? - Page 18 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

It's not important that the liquid actually freeze (solidify). Just that it is too cold for anything to grow

Even if it wont freeze, I think it should last longer with the lower temp.

Freezer Burn:

I am not sure how likely it is for the juice to freezer burn or simply pick up a freezer burn odor while in the freezer.

Auto defrost cycles increase freezer burn in frozen foods by cycling the freezer temps.

I think the effects of freezer burn can be minimized by putting juice in a cooler then putting cooler in the freezer.

eliquid juice bottles should be topped off prior to storing.

Glass is less permeable than plastic and is a better choice for preventing freezer burn provided you are certain the juice won't freeze, expand, and break the glass.

Correct, just wanted to show the respected freezing point based on percent pg. I will store my liquid at -23 C but I don't want to actually freeze it. Just keep it at a really low stable temperature. cheers

Short term data point:

Nuvape 36mg PG Hilton does not freeze at 5F and still vapes strong.

I don't understand why no one has mentioned this yet. I just bought 2 liters from Vermont Vapor (VG based) and here is what I plan to do. I am going to put the liquid into amber bottles and fill them up completely to avoid any oxygen within the bottles. THEN, I plan to put all of my bottles into food saver containers or mason jars and then VACCUUM OUT ALL THE AIR with my hand held food saver (costs $12). Not sure yet if it's going in the fridge or not, but I believe I'm on the right track.

Stored my juice in freezer for two months now and it is fine.

When I get mine in, I was wondering about using the FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers. I've used them to keep wine good for much longer. Around 3 for $13 or so.
