Well I went to glass bottle outlet but given their shipping rates (Oh my!) It was way cheaper for me to get them through Amazon since I have prime. I got many more glass bottles with no shipping, more of them for less money overall.

I went with 16 oz since there is a limit, actually, to how many bottles I want in my freezer. I have a feeling 1/2 liter will be fine in my fridge for whatever duration.

I got amber only because they didn't have like, clear in the sizes and whatnot that I wanted. Hopefully Wed can be rebottling day. Sigh.

Next time I am gonna make CERTAIN my nic is in glass. The last 4 liters I got I thought they were. I can always transfer to smaller bottles as I need them.

Money in the bank, ROI looks good.
Not sure about the ROI. Those two-stage freezers are pricey! $10-15k to buy one, and then $1500-2000/year for the electricity to run it. If I was confident in it, I woulda done it already. :laugh:

Oh, it wouldn't be for me. I have enough for me already. Like I said, that would be an "investment" (albeit a highly speculative one). Buy low; sell high. :D
A-HA ... At my age, I've thought the black market could be VERY profitable too.
And, if I got caught, they would be forced to take care of me, cook for me, take care of my medical needs, give me a free room and TV ... or,... I'd make enough $$$ to hire it done .
Couldn't lose .. problem is, they probably wouldn't let me vape in there .. there's always a "catch" to a good idea.

Nic itself is So much cheaper than cigarettes. I've got to rebottle some of mine as I had 4 liters I thought were coming in glass and I did not have the bottles to rebottle them. If anyone knows of a good place to get one liter amber bottle glass bottles with the lids I need, I'm all ears. I could use some. I don't like leaving it in plastic long term even though I honestly think the inertia caused by freezing it should minimize plastic issues.

However, better safe than sorry, really. So I am all EARS help! LOL.

I'm shocked at how little nic I need now that I'm mixing in less HUGE amounts and I vape less at work.

I have noticed (maybe... maybe?) some of the nic suppliers best sales are during summer time? I wonder if some of their customer market goes away due to fears of degradation in transit? I don't know for sure, but I do wonder.

I would like to ask my nic supplier if they do anything to protect the nic in transit.

Fortunately I am in FAR more need of amber 1 L bottles than I am nic a this time. It can for SURE wait until October etc.

I bought all my 250ml amber glass bottles on Amazon and I purchased the caps separate. Each liter I get I break it down to 250mls. When I need to use that nic I will break it down in two bottles.

Well, I am up to 5 liters in the freezer broken down to 250ml bottles, 22 mods, 18 of which are stashed, 3 MTL pre built coils tanks and about a dozen RTA's. I do have to freeze some more juice since I have liters of flavors lying around, but not very old.
I am beginning to struggle on the needs front, but sure I will think of something.

How many years will those 3 L last you at your current rate?
Long time ago, someone figured out:
One liter of 100mg will last 2 years if you vape 24mg %, at 6 ml a day.
Personally, I figured out that I have to live way way past 100 :cry:

Thanks, darlin’. I’m definitely familiar with that calculator. I was just curious how much other people are needing. Not that it matters, just for the sake of conversation, I guess:)
I use 1 litre of 100mg p/year. I don't have enough freezer space, given that I turn 40 in August [emoji23]

My 6.5 liters of 100 mg will last me 17.80 years

To get me to the age when both my grandfathers died I will need 17 more liters of 60mg (Highest that is legal to buy). I wouldn't much change back from $2000 with that.

That's pretty hard core! ;)

Yeah, but the FDA's authority doesn't reach around to the antipodes. I realize you have your own problems with down there, but they seem to be getting better, rather than worse?

MyFreedomSmokes. The (very slight) peppery taste that a lot of people don't like is something I actually like (a lot).

Just one more subjective part of this vape thing we've all learned to do so well. :)

When I first started DIY I bought MFS nic and froze all but one 100ml glass bottle to work from (clear because I want to see any changes in color). Several years later it's all still in the freezer and I'm still working out of the same 100ml bottle in the fridge (still clear). Vaping at the 3mg nic mix level really makes the nic last. I may have a lifetime supply in my 3 liter stash.

After looking at the Vapocalypse calculator I may have more than I need, but that's better than not enough.

Sure you can

If I live the same age as both my grandfathers, the minimum price is

:danger: $234000 :danger:

Then add the price increases to that as well.

If I die next week it is a hundred bucks.

I'd go ahead and buy that new car, boat, or whatever. The DIY savings support the projection.
