"freezing" juice?

[kinabaloo]

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.

Well, I was really going around in my head about whether or not to refrigerate my flavored nicotine juices, my Zero-nicotine juices and my plain unflavored nicotine base, Pg, by bottle of pure pg and bottle of vg. After reading through this thread, I don't think I will refrigerate it. The reason is, it seems that the refrigerator will , for lack of a better word, "dry" out some things, causing the moisture in them to evaporate faster than others. Such as with bread and some veggies and fruits. When they are in "moisture-controlled drawers", that's because they need the moisture. And there must be a certain amount of bacteria present in these liquids during manufacturing, that just can't be avoided. Maybe some have more than others? I don't know....

I was really worried about my juices going bad since I have many I actually do like to alternate, and my favorites in larger 30ml bottles. I think the best I can do is transfer to glass bottles I purchased from a member here, amber ones, and store in a dark wardrobe cabinet in my basement, where I actually live. It tends to stay cooler down there all year, and downright cold in the winter, but not much more humid than any other part of the house since we have air conditioning down there as well as the rest of the house. It just is colder downstairs.

My clothes are also kept in the same wardrobe cabinet which is shut and locked when I'm away, and they never smell musty or damp.

I did however notice today, not to leave my plastic juice bottles in the hot car during the day at work, since I can't really vape inside. I will transfer to glass ones, to take them inside during the day. It gets pretty hot in a locked car all day.
