Buying E juice in the Summer

[whughes1989]

Just had a quick question. Is it safe to buy E juice when it is in the summer time? Just wanted to ask because all my e juice bottles says to store in a cool dark place.
Thanks Will.

Yes of course.....just don't let them get warm or put them in the sun.....I use the ref. some say not to but it has always worked for me...just let it get back to room temp before using it,,,,makes it easier to use.

But what about it's trip in the mail?
I think that's what the OP meant and I've been wondering the same.
Will the juice get ruined traveling across the midwest in the 90+ degree heat for 5 or so days.
I recall seeing an old post from a ecf veteran saying their juice had been ruined during it's journey in the mail.
I once saw a mail carrier leave in a mail box diabetes medication that was clearly labeled "keep refrigerated".
It was August and blazing hot.

What i mean was will it be fine in the mail. My mail comes late in the day and im sure it is blazing hot in the mail truck.

That is a really good question and I'll be looking for the answer myself.

I'm sure someone will have a good idea how long a bottle of juice can sit at high temperatures before its ruined.

I haven't had any problems with buying juice in the summer. It won't get ruined by the trip in the mail or the wait in your mailbox.

Vsvapor.net offers insurance on juice shipments for an extra $1.75. The site says that the insurance is for replacement of your juice should "heat taint" occur during shipping.
I havent been vaping long enough to know how well juice endures being transported during the summer, but i cant imagine they offer the insurance for no reason, but i also cant imagine that they would stay in business if everyone was recieving heat tainted juice.
Just my two cents....

I just put a reminder thread out the other day for everyone, reminding them with summer approaching to make sure you store your juice in a cool dark dry place. !! If you normally keep it on some shelf or in some cabinet or in some type of box it's best to move it to this cool dry dark place during the heat of the summer it will pay off.

I guess what I am concerned about re: heat & mail delivery. In the summer here it can get to 115 (or more) degrees during the day. My mail is delivered about 3 pm in the worst heat of the day. I am at work so I cannot pick it up until 6pm when I get home.
Now, maybe I could get insurance but what I'm MORE concerned about is:

1. does the ejuice become poisonous?

Good topic considering where I live it was in the 90s today. How does one know if/when they have gotten too hot or spoiled?

 

[llvickie]

Does it damage it to put in refrigerator?

 

[Analogless]

Hmm, never even thought about the heat that the e-liquid is exposed to while sitting locked up in the mail truck before delivery. Very good point.

This won't be much help for the people in Arizona and such, but in the Midwest we can watch for cold fronts lasting several days and order a couple days ahead of it I suppose.

If I lived in Phoenix and it was going to be in my sun exposed black mailbox all day, I might choose to stop by the drug store, get some VG and flavorings, and DIY it during the summer months

If I was a vendor, I'd be thinking about adding a "Cool-Pak" shipping option. It wouldn't really cost the vendor much, and with something like this, if the customer is happy, the vendor is happy.
