Do We Need To Stock Up Because Of The Ban?

50-55* degrees is great. I doubt it costs $5 a month.
It's closed most of the time!
The fuller the better if you have wine to go in there too...lol
Deep freezers run way less if kept full.

Also, Kurts suggestion for bottles is a good one.
Like I said, I wouldn't open a new bottle to top it off, but if you have bulk or concentrate. When you do open it. Then go to topped off "usage" size bottles so only one bottle is being opened in a reasonable time frame.
Also, flavorless has less chance of "spoilage". Nic an PG/VG should last a long time.
I have both stored, but figure the less ingredients in it, the better for long term.

But.....it is a choice you do still have.

This dealer is 19.99 on bulk items but you have to order at least 20.

Does it have a glass front and, if so, did you cover it up to darken the inside?

Other than because some of our suppliers say so, is there any reason y'all lean toward refrigerated storage? I don't mean any disrespect to them, but it's contrary to what I've read, and to what I'm told when I ask lab techs. Do we have anything concrete on this?

There are two reasons for storing e-Liquid at a cold temperature: First, reducing the temperature inhibits bacterial growth. While bacteria is unlikely to grow in nicotine containing liquid, you can never be too safe. Second, it is often recommended that nicotine be stored at a low temperature (see: Chemical Book, NTP Chemical Repository). Since nicotine is the most unstable element in e-Liquid, it just makes sense to base storage recommendations on those recommended for nicotine. Those are the reasons we recommend 2-8C, tightly sealed & away from light. Others may have other reasons.

Excellent! So there are apparently two very different ideas on this. Nicotine products i.e. NRTs call for room temperature storage, as do many suppliers of nicotine for labs. The NOAA and NIH also call for room temperature storage. All agree on darkness, and most specify dry locations.

How much does it cost to run the mini fridge?

$10.00/month??

Emus: I doubt it's much but then again I haven't noticed any change however, you have to take into consideration I have a wet room off my kitchen and laundry room (walk through the door from the kitchen, turn right about 70-degrees to avoid the cabinet & you are at another door that opens in front of a Kenmore Front-loader washing w/pedestal). The wet room has an industrial exhaust in the ceiling and a nice large but mobile dehumidifier.

That room holds a 5-7/8 person hydrotherapy spa (about a 500 to 550-gallon water) w/ lounger & 2 captain's seats, which is what they call the nice deep seats with full back jets in rows & jets for the base of the neck not to mention the jets in the floor.

So, when it comes to noticing a higher than usual bill, I haven't noticed it. Besides, my little wine cooler fridge isn't that big. It holds 3 regular sized bottles of wine; hwr, it only holds 2 when I'm lucky enough to get my hands on a nice well-tapped wine that's been in a wine cellar for a few decades or so. The bottles aren't exactly standard. Neither is the bottles for Dom, which is actually Champagne but you get what I mean I'm sure. I keep my nicer wines in the small wine fridge. It already has a dark double-paned glass door. It was a gift; anniversary I think... I remember because it was the only thing I didn't mind getting that didn't have a diamond or a pearl on. The temp runs about 55F though in the summer months (It's hot here & terribly humid) I've noticed it go to 57 and 58F. I'm heating and cooling about 1600 sq.ft of living space.

Thanks for the info on the bottles and storage. I'll likely boil the bottles from Specialty Bottles. It only takes boiling them for about 5 to 10 minutes to sterilize them. Think of sterilizing baby bottles although I never used bottles because I was the bottle, two at the ready for each feeding.

I'm not sure about the lids b/c they are plastic & they seal the bottles. I'd have to do a bit of research on those.

BTW, ThinkGeek.com has a mini-fridge on their website that holds 1-2 cans of soda. I ran across it a year or so ago then again some months ago. It's still there b/c a friend of mine's son wants one of them so bad he's spitting nails. He hates to get up to go after a drink when he's online at the computer or playing on his video games. He's working now and in school so he doesn't have as much time to be a boy and he's not dating anyone now as he can't put anything into a relationship at this time so he's not even on the look out. He does have female friends, just nothing serious.

Why not just be it in a regular refrigerator.
