Are you done stocking up?

Possibly, but if that makes you more at ease then I don't see a problem with it.
I just put the bottles in a vacuum sealer bag, and vacuum the air out, and seal.

I have a bag sealer too, don't know why I didn't think of that. I will for the next liter!

Decided freezing the nic in a box wasn't good enough. Lids were already taped, so I wrapped each amber bottle with foil, put it in a plastic bag and sealed each bottle with ductape. Overkill?

not overkill at all. I wrap mine in foil, then with bubble wrap and then vacuum sealer bags :D

Excellent point, because I DO feel even more secure!

It would be for me, but I don't have kids at home anymore. If I did then I definitely would take more precautions. I have carefully labeled my freezer nic. I wouldn't want anyone getting hurt if any left there once I am ten feet under....

Essentially what I did, foiled them, two to a bag and wrapped with packing tape. My overkill was less for storage advantages and more about child resistance - along with stern warnings to the child that messing with the packages would get him a trip to the hospital, of which he is terrified after recently undergoing hernia repair surgery. They are also in the least accessible space in the freezer but until I can get a small locked freezer it will do.

I was going to ask my sister to borrow her vacuum sealer but just went with bags and tape as that was what I had when I broke the liters down.

Agreed. I have a child so safety is a high concern. Otherwise, I would've thrown it in the freezer without a second thought . It's also going in a locked ammo box. Call me paranoid, but I'm determined that my kid will never be able to get his hands on it!

Ok I have never frozen any. From what I have read just thaw an shake real good. Right
Yes. I have a couple small working bottles in the freezer and when it's time to open each 240ml bottle I'll break it down to two 120, or one 120 and various other small bottles to reduce the amount of room temp time for each bottle.

I'd love some input on whether my next liter should be pg or vg. I currently have both. Any suggestions?

I don't know that I have any logical reason for it but I'm sticking to PG. If I remember correctly because it is thinner it's easier to evenly mix it up.

6 new button top Samsung 25R's recieved today by accident and 6 25R flat tops on the way. I can't say enough about Sean and the Lightning Vapes team. What a class bunch of folks.

They fixed their small kinda-wrong product issue and I had to almost beg them to take more money to ship the right batteries.

I won't be buying wire, cotton or batteries anywhere else moving forward.

Anyone that knows me will know I don't shill or fanboy much, but these guys really have impressed me over the last year I have been buying from them!

All of my liters were broke down to 120ml bottles, then hit with true preserve argon when capping, vac sealed, then boxed up with bubble wrap. When it's time for a new working bottle I bring one to temp and it goes into a 120ml firm plastic bottle with yorker top. That goes in a zip loc, then a black plastic bag, then sits in a small cardboard box in the bock of my flavors cabinet in the basement where I do my mixing.

Ok I have never frozen any. From what I have read just thaw an shake real good. Right

bring to temp slowly - fridge for 24 hours then room temp for 24 is what I do.

I went 50/50 on the bulk of mine because of conflicting info about which kept best, pg or vg. I do have a half liter or so of straight 100vg to use some day.

I went with pg. Since I make all of my e-liquids at 60pg/40vg it just made sense for me to get my nic in pg. If you are vaping mostly vg then vg is the way to go. I started out with 50/50 but only bought 500mls or so of that mixture. For me pg is just easier to work with.

I typically vape at 50/50, so that's no help with the decision [emoji38]

I was vaping 50/50 when I bought all my nic which is why I got the bulk in that ratio. I now vape 70vg and it makes little difference for me other than the fact that I bought equal number of gallons of pg/vg and the vg gets used up faster since I was using pg flavors at 15 - 20%. Now that I use RF SC flavors that should even out a little. When I finally get into my 3rd gal of vg and still have 1.5 or 2 gals of PG left I will just order 2 or 3 gals of VG and no PG.

Wow, here I am counting my liters while you're counting your gallons, color me impressed!
