I think I'm done shopping today, picked up 2 Berserker mini's 22, some flavor, that's it for me today. I'm tired of thinking of this vape ban stuff, ugh!
Where do you get your flavors? I got a big haul today of flavors and nic and vg from Wizard Labs. :)

LOL I panic stashed nic before the 2016 deeming. I now look at my freezer and wonder if I didn't overdo it. My consumption has continued to decrease over the years. I am in my mid 50s. I used less than 100 mL since 2016. I stocked about 10 L. ROFL
Any thoughts of fridge v freezer for nic? I've been storing my nic in pharmaceutical brown glass bottles in a fridge since 2016. Still clear and good but I've been thinking of moving to a freezer after reading so many posts. I'm nervous about the glass shattering in the freezer.

I am the wrong person to ask. Mine has always been in the freezer

Nic in glass is fine in the freezer. Just allow a little headroom (neither pg nor vg expand anywhere near as much as water), a bit of electrical tape on the cap.

I break my nic into 200ml bottles, strength and date of purchase on a piece of tape, a little bubble wrap on the outside, and store them in the can holder in our freezer.

    Also just an update on Nude Nicotine as I didn't get the info I was looking for before putting in my order.

    The 1L of "Nicotine Base" came in a plastic bottle. No surprise there.

    The 500ml bottle of V3 also came in a plastic bottle. I was told it would be glass in here.

    The 4x125ml V1 did come in glass bottles.

    I'm not really concerned with the bottle type so long as you can freeze it and I've been told both glass and plastic can be stuck in the freezer without issue. But that's what it actually came as, in case anyone was wondering.

    Same here about the bottles and bubble wrap, but I put mine in a plastic bin with a lid in my freezer off to the side.

    MUCH better off buying in plastic and decanting IMO

    I've had too much glass break in shipping.
    Except then you introduce oxygen, increasing oxidation. I'd say all else equal, buying in well packaged glass would be plan A.

    LOL It figures you would remember ;) TY

    I wrote it down and have to check sometimes what the day is because I forget too. :blush:

    Myrany and I, by coincidence, quit o the same day.

    I was just thinking what will be popular topics after May or earlier if things keep going warp speed against vape. I am thinking DIY threads will be popular and a "what's this" thread, trying to figure out what some pieces parts are LOL And maybe a thread of look what I found in my closet :) And last but not least "what is your oldest vape gear". It will be interesting!

    @Katdarling used to have a thread like that. :)

    See Classy's post above for a link to a great thread on the subject.

    If you feel safer doing it, put it in the fridge and when it's cooled down move it to the freezer. Some people do the reverse when taking it out to use too. I always leave the "working" bottle in the fridge.

    When removing a bottle from the fridge/freezer to rebottle or work with, let it warm up to room temperature before opening otherwise you can get condensation in the bottle.

    When you first asked I thought you were just asking about the NN V1, which does come purged and in glass as all you have to do is put it in the freezer for long term storage. I'm very sorry I misunderstood you. :cry:

    I've read about leaving headroom in the bottle several times recently. When I started getting nic I'm sure I read that you should fill all the way to the top, so that's what I've always done. Now I'm thinking I should take all my bottles out and remove a couple of mls from each one. Do you reckon that's something I should do?

    The concern as I understand it is that expansion could crack a completely full bottle. I've never had a bottle crack yet. Maybe I've just been lucky.

    I wouldn’t if you’ve had them frozen for a while and nothing has happened to the bottles. I just saw an experiment and the nic actually contracted, not expanded.
