I have my larger undiluted bottles of nic base in the freezer, but how do you store the smaller diluted down (18mg) that you are using to make your juices? I just made up a couple of 25ml bottles to experiment with this weekend and I was wondering if I should refrigerate them or not? I will probably use them up in less then a week.
I dilute when I make my working mix (the stuff I'm actually vaping). I've stored that for periods of six weeks at slightly-chilly room temperature (I prefer my office about 66-68 degrees) with absolutely no issues. Mom stores hers in a cabinet and I make her 250 ml at a time. That lasts her four months, and again, no problems.
For reasonable storage periods, mixed liquids can be stored sealed with minimal air in the bottle at room temperature out of direct sunlight. I find amber glass also helps as nic liquids will yellow slightly if exposed to light (that's not harmful, it's just a discoloration that's slightly unattractive).
For a period of a week, pretty much any storage will do. If you want to park it in clear glass on the windowsill, you shouldn't have a problem with it!
Another question would be, is there any significant expansion of the liquid? Bottles should be filled to the top to avoid any air degrading the nic. I know that water is a unique substance in that it is one of the only compounds that expands rather than contracts when it freezes. But I would assume that there is water in VG and PG; or I am mistaken?
There's some water in PG and VG, but the rest of the PG/VG acts as anti-freeze and keeps it from even thinking about becoming ice. I've never noticed any expansion in the freezer at all. PG/VG actually shrink as they get colder, so that would help offset the water's increasing size--and there's really not that much water in there.
For other purposes, I store DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) in the garage. That freezes solid in fall and thaws in mid-spring (freezing temperatures aren't that far below room temperature). If you shake the plastic bottle you can actually hear the "ice" rattle around in there. It shrinks quite a lot. I've had the same thing happen to liquid paraffin.
