I really wish the FDA would stop picking on vaping. Don't they know how many of us quit smoking with vaping? They are nuts!
The FDA has been quite clear on the subject, they do not care about ex smokers. Nor future ex smokers.

Back to the topic, does anyone know how long VG and PG last? Freeze? Store in cool place?

I bought a cube (2 gal PG, 2 gal VG) 2 yrs ago, I store it in plastic bag to keep light out and it is room temp, still fresh as a daisy.

I think I am all set but a tiny voice in the back of my mind keeps trying to tell me to pick up a couple more liters of 100mg/ml nicotine. It is also telling me that it is possible that those that are out to protect us :facepalm: will start requiring pg/vg manufacturers to add something that would make it taste bitter thus making it unvapeable. It is telling me to get some more ordered since I don't trust any of them any farther that I can throw them. I am pretty well set as far as battery holders and e-liquid holders.

I'm also concerned about the same thing.

It took me nearly 2 years to use my first gallon of PG, and about 1.5 years to use my first gallon of VG. Just kept them in their original HDPE plastic jugs they came in, inside a hallway closet. Kept about 12-16oz. of each in smaller plastic bottles out, with my DIY flavorings and supplies. Have done that with every new jug I've gotten, and all have always been just fine. Nothing can grow/live in either of them, nor can they go "bad", as in spoil. :thumbs:

Now talk of FDA banning online sales! Time to get inventory checked, if you need something get it. Geez this is crazy!
Yes, quite! Something revolutionary that can save millions of lives. Yet the government wants to restrict it because money is more important to them than our lives!

Money is tight. But, I'll stock up as best I can. Truthfully I've been stocked up for a while. I have no interest in mods or atties. They're already stocked up. But spare coils never hurt! And, who knows? Maybe even a little more nic if I get to it in time.

I just finished using 1 gal of PG in 2 yrs and still have VG left in the gal. It lasts a long time.

    I agree that it feels like we are thrown back to 2 years ago. I didn't buy anything for 2 years and now I have started buying again. Kind of dumb because I have more stuff than I will probably ever use in my remaining years.

    Stupid FDA.

    I know, but one good thing is I know what lasts for 2 yrs. Basically I only used a couple things, my Radius's and Kayfun tanks. Even only a few flavors. So I know the things that last. I have plenty of back ups too. I only have a few things I need to get, a little more nic and some flavors and coils.

    Here's my long term plan, have enough nic and hardware for life. If I would run out of nic and it would not be available, worse case would be do the patch or lozenges and vape zero nic :)
    Or Swedish Snuff. They are the ones(pouches) made by Sweden are considered safer than the ones in US.

    :)

    Remember when there were all the sales 2 years ago? Can you imagine what sales would be like if online was being shut down? Omg, that would be devastating to vendors. I think I will hold off in buying more stuff until we see which way the wind is blowing. I could support more vendors doing it that way, if it comes to that. I surely hope not.

    I sincerely hope Swedish snus is still around, I plan on using it when I go back to work, I want to import some of the more variable brands, but if it comes down to it, well, I can get General Snus (which is Swedish, just limited in mg/flavors) for like 3 bucks a can. I better be able to get it. I'm kind of shocked at it's price, honestly, the kid very kindly (when I mentioned starting it) said, "That's what all the homeless folks use, Mom!" I was like, yeah for the price it's an excellent deal, compared to cigarettes!

    I rather use that times a million than start smoking. I have no "sense" that freaking ALL the nicotine lozenges in the world would be "enough" for me.

    I really hate this.

    Good idea :) Since I only need a couple things I went ahead and got those, but for anyone having to really stock up good to wait for sales!

    A normal person would give you a number of reasons why that's unlikely. I agree with most of those reasons. But I have plenty of PG and VG put up in one liter glass bottles stashed in the back of a closet, just in case I'm wrong. :oops:
