Can you freeze ejuice?

I started freezing my juice around six years ago, based on the recommendation of a juice manufacturer. I have my freezer organized so the oldest stuff is always the next in line.
I routinely pull out bottles that are anywhere from two to five years old, depending on the juice. The only thing in common is that, after letting them sit for about a day, they look and taste pretty much perfect.
IF the information I have is accurate, cold does have a separating effect on juice, but it's corrected once it returns to room temp, and is shaken well. All of my juices range from 50-80% PG.

Pingster, like brnkwest, we've been keeping e-liquids stored in the freezer for years. Never an issue and fresh as a daisy.
PG, VG, and nic tolerate freezing temperatures well. I believe most flavors would do the same but may be not all. The people who make flavors say sometimes a particular flavor might crystalize when frozen. I've frozen flavored eliquid for up to several months. It didn't change color like it does in the frig and vaped fine.

Nope... well not really anyway. The bases can be “frozen” partially because they don’t actually freeze in a freezer. The problem is the flavorings. If you freeze them there’s a very good chance they won’t taste the same. Flavorings have all sorts of other chemicals in them and there’s no telling what freezing would do to any one of them.
Ejuice typically won't actually freeze, PG has a really low freezing point (something like -75°F). So as long as there is some PG in the juice, it will not freeze in a commercial freezer. So you will be just fine storing you ejuice in a freezer.
Afaik PG and VG have quite long stable shelf lives. The ingredient that doesnt is unprotonated nicotine.
No, but I was buying his juice at the time. I store apple, orange, lemon, tobacco, Dr. Pepper...(thinking)...
Cotton Candy....
That may be it - and flavorless. The above mentioned ones are all pre-mixed (vendor), and are all fine as long as I let them sit for a day, then shake the sheet out of them.
Sooner or later, I'll have to do the same. All I've done through these first 8 is "mix & match". I'm not cutting all pre-mixed to 50%, then adding the 50% back in with nic, PG, & VG. I guess that's a form of DIY, but I'm not making my own flavors.
I figure I may as well capitalize on the experts' work until that's no longer an option.
It's also helping me adjust to less flavor content, which may come into play down the line. When all falls apart, I'll probably just fine a good apple flavoring that I like, then alternate that with flavorless. I do have at least a decade's worth of straight lemon flavor too, so that will be three flavors (for a period).
{sigh} I hate this sheet.
Oh dear. I feel so... inadequate.
Well, THAT certainly wasn't my intent, Katya!
Sending hugs.
There is no way to know for sure. Honestly quite likely several years but probably not the rest of your life. Sorry:

I'm using 100mg. 100%PG from freezer storage (December 2016). 30 ml. bottles. I notice no degrading as of pepper tasting or discolor. Not sure if the strength has degraded; I don't notice any loss in mg..
"My bust. I didn't realize this thread refers toward mixed storage."

I need to keep that picture handy for the next time my wife thinks vaping is using up too much freezer space!
Mine is just the opposite 70/Vg/30pg. How long of a time can it be frozen for?
The reason I asked is many who DYI store their PG and VG and I would assume their is a shelf life for most chemicals.
The pg/VG content doesn’t matter. It’s the particular contents of the particular flavoring used. You could freeze any unflavored juice, refrigerate the flavoring separately, and then combine them when needed. If the particular flavoring in question WILL accept freezing you could freeze it mixes without problems.
I unfortunately do not know which flavorings can withstand a freezer and which cant
