3 Easy 1s.

[elbakan1]

Hello All:

1- PG/VG base (no nic) & flavors need refrigeration?
2- Does 100mg nic last longer than 60mg?
3- What's the optimal temp for either?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Frozen in a dark colored glass bottle for the Nic. I read that it might last forever in the freezer. Those bottles are available at Amazon. Look for "Boston Round Bottles".

I am not sure of the 100mg last longer/shorter then the 60 mg.

I am assuming the PG/VG base is cheap? And I am not sure of it's shelf life.

Hmmm, not sure that I understand the questions, so not so easy.

1- PG/VG base (no nic) & flavors need refrigeration? No.

2- Does 100mg nic last longer than 60mg? No? Yes? Since you will be cutting the 100mg nic more times, yes it will last longer. As far as expiration date, no.

3- What's the optimal temp for either? The pg/vg base can be stored at room temperature. Depending upon how long you plan on storing the nic liquid, if you won't be using it all in the next year, I'd store some in the frig or freezer. I have 500 ml of 24mg nic unflavored pg/vg which I bought last April which I never refrigerated and store it at room temperature in a dark place.

I typically dont freezer or fridge my pg/vg... when mixing down to your desired mg level, 100mg will stretch further but can also be more dangerous. Nicotine has the ability to be trans-dermal so getting a small amount of any high level nic on your skin can be very bad, the higher the worst the side effects can be.

i store everything in a dark area at room temperature, ever since i read info regarding the opportunity for bacteria growth in pg and vg when stored and in the fridge. It occurs when the bases are returned back to room temperature. Not sure of the accuracy of that info but it was enough for me to toss it all and buy new bases and store them at room temperature.

I'm a "little" hard to understand, I know.
Communication skills: 10%.
Comprehension skills: 25%.
Margin of error: +or- 25%.
Not my fault, I'm still "a work in progress", hehe.
But that's off topic.

My worry is that I live in a swamp.
A very beautiful swamp that is.
Temp in the summer: 103 degrees. 110% humidity is that's possible.
I've come across a little Danby fridge and will like to store a few gallons,
OK, liters? of supplies, "just in case".
BTW, I still have the gas masks from Y2K, hahaha!!.

Thank you for your comments. Carlos.

elbakan1 I use to live in cape coral, even then i just left bottles in a dark draw. as long as you have central air you will be fine, other wise i feel bad for you. I have lived in AZ desert, cold AK, and FL was the worst climate of them all.
