Brutal heat summers and e-juice in mailbox

[texastumbleweed]

I live in Texas...where it is common to have triple digit heat waves for weeks at a time.
I always worry about e-juices that arrive while I am at work, potentially sitting in my mailbox for 8 hours.
Someone needs to invent a mailbox with a dry ice/cooler type compartment for our e juices lol (with a note on the compartment to the postman to please put small packages inside to keep cool!)
Also could be used for chocolate!

Maybe leave a note for the mailcarrier and a ice chest on the front porch? lol I don't know, first thing I came up w/.

they do get a bit thinner in viscosity after a few hous in hte old heat box for sure.

good idea but not an option really for me...since i live on a big ranch, and my mailbox is a long long drive from my house, cross the cattle guards and down a long bumpy caliche road, rattlesnakes everywhere lol. postman dont come to my front porch! i gotta drive my pickup truck to my mailbox. packages that dont fit, are left at the post office in town.

I throw mine right in the fridge when they come, it sure seems to thicken them up a bit then keep them in a cool dry place when I take them out of the fridge. I also keep about 15ml of two of my favs that I will use in no time at all in the fridge now when I can, there is controversy over the refridge vs non refridge however I am believing in both now fridge when they first arrive then in a couple hours leave take em out and store in a cool dark place, then the liquids I will use for the week I keep in the fridge like I said above. Just my $0.02

Tex grab a small PO Box, this way your liquids will stay inside at the post office.! haha

 

[texastumbleweed]

i may do that before next summer starts...or i thought of another idea, have them sent to a friend's house who lives in "town"!

Got a bush near the mailbox that you can stash a cooler behind? Just throwing ideas out to you. If answer is no, see idea 3

Idea 3: Maybe set up a dog house near the mailbox, doubt anyone is going into a doghouse to seed what's there. You can then put the tcechest in the dog house. Your mail carier might wonder what you are vaping though. lol

ha ha..i dont even get out of the truck to pull my mailbox out..the rattlesnakes seem to like the entrance to the ranch

In summer here it can get hot - I have vaped hot juice from the hot mailbox btw lol cos I dont usually get to check it til around 5pm and the mail comes at noon; I wanted to see if it changed the flavor or had warmer vapor - sadly it tasted the same. It was only in there for a day though (maybe 2) perhaps not long enough to make it go bad (if indeed it does go bad from heat without light)

I've been a little curious if that helps the flavors merge a little better, much the same way things like salt and sugar dissolve better in warm water than cold. Although on further reflection, that might only be the case in "single" flavors, like a straight strawberry, caramel, butterscotch, etc. Maybe the ones with the multi-ingredient- like cinnamon caramel danish, key lime pies, etc., would blend so much that the individual ingredients would no longer have their own flavor.

I don't know about your little town, but out here in my boonies, if I were to stick one of those little lunch pail collapsible coolers in my mailbox,maybe with a couple of those refreezable ice packs, my mailman (who in this case is a lady), would be more than happy to toss my package in it. If push came to shove, I would think you could mount a little cooler atop the mailbox and have them put your packages in there. I know where I live, security would not be an issue, and it's no less secure than the mailbox itself anyway.

Of course, be sure to remember your postal carrier at Christmas!!

Why not just call the post office the day you expect your delivery and tell them to hold it their until you pick it up? It is what I did today in order to prevent them from sitting in my mailbox for too many hours.

I got a small P.O. Box and now I don't have to keep checking my mailbox so the juice doesn't overheat
