Are you done stocking up?

It doesnt have to be an earthquake. It could be 82 year old Aunt Edna stumbling and falling against the freezer or little Johnny start throwing things around to get that last ice cream sandwich.
Disown Aunt Ed.

Put a fence with a locked gate around your property.

Or report little Johnny's parents to children and youth.

I will do as i see fit.

But you never have elderly relative or rambunctious kids or grand kids running through the house?
They're not allowed near the freezer acting like that.

A frozen ham dropped onto a foot can be serious.

    The bottle my 100mg nic base comes in is the bottle it goes in the freezer in. Just finished off a 500ml bottle yesterday that has been in the freezer for 6 years.
    So I see no point in going to so much trouble storing e-liquids & the base materials. Just keep it dark & cold and it will do fine.

    Poor aunt Edna!
    Exactly!

    If she was wealthy, she'd have a nice retirement community to interact with those of similar interests and enjoy living out her remaining days.

    Instead her poor behind is imposing on relatives with her needs and destroying expensive appliances.

    I'm not changing her diapers.

    She's got to go.

    Ya that bottle was from the stash I bought when the FDA/Njoy lawsuit was going on.
    I still have another bottle of nic that has never been opened that was bought at the same time.

    It wouldn't have it any other way. :)

    Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say a while back that you quit using nicotine entirely? 'Cause if that's correct, then I can understand that its longevity in storage might not be your utmost concern. But for those of us who are are looking at being able to keep and use our stashes for decades, the consensus among both nic vendors and several chemists is that glass is better than plastic.


    Correct, I do not. But even if I did, I wouldn't worry about it. My dedicated nic freezer is under a desk (I've posted pics multiple times). It has a lock on it, and the 120ml glass bottles are packaged in such a manner that I do not think breakage would be a problem. Some of them are wrapped in bubble wrap while others are packed 9 to a Plano box into which they fit quite snugly, preventing prevents any glass-on-glass "clinking".
    You are correct. I did go nicotine free 13 1/2 months ago.

    However i did use nicotine for 2.75 years. I always used #1 or #2 plastic bottles to store my nic. Never had a single problem with my nicotine.

    On a lighter note:

    I also found some nic buried in my wife's big freezer that I'd forgotten I had. A bit over 2.5 years old, in the original #1 plastic from WL. At first I figured it was probably ruined, but I mixed up a batch using one of the four 120ml bottles and it was colorless and tastes fine. So I decided to leave the other 3 unopened as an experiment and I intend to use one ever once in a while to see how it does.

    However, a couple of years isn't a couple of decades, and #1 plastic isn't #2 plastic. My understanding is that #2 is considerably more permeable to oxygen than #1, and of course the permeability of glass is effectively zero, which is why it's the storage medium of choice for those of us who are planning for decades.

    If I were worried about glass breakage, I'd consider buying a case of some kind of stainless steel bottles. That would probably be the best combination of characteristics; earthquake proof, completely impermeable, and won't leach any chemicals. The only catch is the expense.

    I did the same thing. I have a small dedicated nic freezer that's packed. I bought 2 more liters on a sale and shoved them in the bottom of my food freezer. I was counting up nic supplies one day to do a calculation on how long it would last and checked the food freezer to make sure I had 2 liters in there and there were 3.:confused:

    Again; pretty much over thinking a virtually non existent problem.
    When stored in a freezer there are very few actual problems to worry about.
    There is plenty of oxygen in a half full bottle. If the nicotine had much ability to oxidize in a freezer it would have done so in that 6 year old bottle I mentioned earlier.
    I would worry more about the number of times we warm up & open a container of nic base.

    Once and only once for me. All my 100 mg base is in 120ml bottles. When I open one, I mix the whole thing down to a vapeable strength. That vapeable base gets put back in (full) 120 ml bottles, all but one of which get put back in the freezer. Thus I have no half-full bottles in the freezer either. :)

    That's why I transfer each liter into smaller bottles once it's opened. When they're all used up, they get filled with the next liter when it's opened.

    ETA: but before transfer strength is tested.
