Freezer in place, rest of the nic and a gal ea of pg/vg should be hear later today then I get to figure out how to best package up the nic for secure storage in that chest freezer given the couple different size bottles of nic I bought. Trying to decide if I should maybe get another 500ml or 1L to be sure I have more than I would ever need....

Does/should vg/pg be put in the freezer also?
I believe most keep theirs in a cool, dark place. I keep mine in a mini-fridge, just cause I have one and it has enough room. My nic is in the freezer. I have it divided into 120ml amber glass bottles for the most part. They are vacuum sealed in food saver bags.

Thanks guys.

I bought varying sizes of bottles: quite a few 120/125 ml bottles, a 250ml bottle and 2 x 500ml bottles. It would be easier to store obviously if I break down the 250 and 500's right away but is that best vs just freezing it in the original container (I got a vac sealer too) or waiting to break down the bigger bottles until I actually start using the nic from that bottle? The bigger bottles (and many of the smaller bottles as well, heck the whole NN order) I bought are the armor bottles. The RTS order I planned to use first which came in 120ml bottles ready to freeze.

For my first liter, I broke it down into a bunch of bottles! They go up in size (starting at 30s) and I can break them down more later, as I get to them. I was lazy on my second and just put it in one liter glass bottle. My third, I broke down to 120s. I only vape at 5mg, so even one 30ml bottle of nic lasts me a long time. IF I had plenty of funds (freezer space is not a problem), I personally would have liked to broken everything down small. I have read here though that it doesn't hurt to refreeze. BUT, remember that it needs to be brought to room temp before opening.

IF I had plenty of funds (freezer space is not a problem), I personally would have liked to broken everything down small.

If I had the available space I'd break my liters down only once, into 30ml bottles. I typically use 30ml of 100mg every month or so to make a 375ml batch of liquid, so that would make it very simple.

Only opening and exposing the nic to oxygen once until it's time to use it seems like the best way minimize oxidation, but 150+ 30ml bottles would take up too much space. I've settled on breaking liters down to 120ml bottles, then breaking those bottles down to 30ml as needed.

@Fozzy71 - If all of your NN is an the armor bottles...I wouldn't mess with it. Just put it in the freezer.

As far as your PG and VG. They're each in a big, plastic jug, right? I'd just leave them in a cool, dark place...not in the freezer. Depending upon the type of plastic it is, it may not withstand freezing temperatures very well.

I bought 60's. Got concerned about storing in 250's, and breaking down into smaller bottles. Would rather keep a 60 I am working on in the freezer, and not worry about headroom. I also have some 30's and some tens and some sevens, but the glass is so thin, I may end up tossing them.

Watch classies for Reo deals :)
Classifieds is where I got my Reo. They do pop up now and again. Then, you'd need to look into getting a bottom-feed atty. You can get those at reosmods, do it yourself (buy or create a bf pin for a regular atty), or have someone convert one for you. Or use an unsealed 510 atty.

Get an Optimizer. Great for detail work and pulling splinters.

I couldn't build or make Clapton wire without them, hell I've even been spinning up 34x2/38 fused Clapton wire for my Tootie Puffers.

Highly recommend them also.

I am well prepared to continue vaping without interuption for a few years. But now that we are down to the wire I have family (finally) intrested in switching over. My problem is, I have no idea what to recommend. Obviously replaceable batteries and rebuildables are the way to go. But not sure they can handle that. I need something that can just pop in coils now but be rebuildable at a later point.

Sorry for being long-winded my point is:
What would you suggest a newbie in these trying times.
1. Few liters of 100mg nic juice stored in freezer
2. A few dedicated Rebuildable Tanks and drippers.

Those are the basic must haves and can be easily build up from that foundation. Bottom line though is nic juice is the most important.

Thanks. They arrived today and I just checked the order and one of the 125ml bottles is leaking. Bottle appears fine so I am guessing a loose cap or bad seal. Shot the pics off to NN and will take a closer look after dinner when I have time to wash a transfer bottle, change into some other clothes I don't care about and put on some gloves.

My ED box of pg/vg was bashed to .... but the plastic gallon jugs were fine. So much for that fragile sticker:

They should replace it. Broken seal on a bottle packed for long term storage? Not good.

Yes. Still safe for me to use as my first bottle I assume? I was planning to use my RTS bottles first and store all the NN but if this is fine to use as is I will use it first and hopefully they replace it. Getting ready to change clothes and wash up one of the 120 ml bottles I bought and dry it so I can transfer that over asap.

Every time I say ok that is all I need for stocking up, I find that there is just one more thing I need! LOL I am about all set but I am sure I will find something else. All set on mods, rebuilds, Nic, may get a few more flavors and VG/PG to have on hand :)
No, just like alcohol. They will add ingredients that if inhaled will cause death or at the least make you be blind.

To what? VG and PG? If that's what you're referring to, I have considered the possibility that the FDA will require something to be added to them to make them unvapeable.

eta: How long does VG/PG stay good for?
