Nice to see, 5-2 (@52anddone)! We'd wondered how you've been so I'm glad you popped up. :D

Like @Train2 , I re-bottle each liter into eight (8) 125ml amber bottles after thawing. I then re-freeze all but one, pulling them out as I need them. At current pace, one liter last me a bit over one year (408 days to be exact). That's vaping at 15-18ml though, so tiny tweaks will expand that average without much effort.

@52anddone - Wizard Labs, here in central Florida, DOES still sell and ship 100mg/mL nicotine base, in your choice of a 100% PG or 100% VG base. I've linked to it below. It ships as (2) 500mL bottles of it. They also sell it by the single 500mL bottle, too. They no longer ship it by air, but do still ship by ground.

100mg Nicotine Solution - 1000ml

You need to email or call them for pricing. From my experience, they do answer the phone promptly and are very helpful and courteous by phone.

Based on my personal experience with their nic base...it's wonderful. I would've filled my freezer with it if I hadn't discovered Heartland Vapes nic at a much lower price and comparable quality, and started buying it for my "stash" in early 2018 IIRC.

I bought a Liter of WL 100mg/mL in Jan. 2016, after I'd bought a 120mL bottle of it 2 months earlier and really liked it. I also bought (2) 500mL bottles of their 60mg/mL 1 year later when it was on Sale at an amazing price. I kept those 2 bottles unopened, and never froze nor refrigerated them, and you know what???? Even 3 years later...it was almost totally clear, was odorless, had no bad taste at all, etc. I was amazed when I opened the first 500mL bottle of it about 1 1/2 years ago. I'm using the last 100mL or so of the 2nd bottle even now! I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy their 100mg/mL...if I needed more.

My question is can pure nicotine be frozen, defrosted to use and refrozen?

I've been freezing NIC since 2013 and every time I take a bottle out of the freezer it is as clear and fresh as the day I froze it. I in fact just took out a 120ml bottle from 2014 and it is clear and fresh. I buy in bulk and divide into 120ml boston brown bottles.

You also can freeze defrost then refreeze but make sure you do this with smaller amounts such as 120ml size because when you do that with what you regularly use you risk introducing moisture, air and light that can degrade NIC rapidly. .

I keep a 30ml of each PG & VG nicotine in Chubby Gorilla bottles in the refrigerator for mixing.
I reamed the dropper tip on the VG chubby for better flow.
No opening & closing to add nic to mixes means it gets very little fresh air.
The rest stays in the freezer in 240ml Bostons w/polycone caps.
100% as clear as the day I got it.
