Clear bottle for storage or dark blue?

[Harryinny]

Hi,
I have been getting my juice from Azure and my last 120 was in a dark blue bottle. The two that arrived this week are in clear bottles. I was wondering, because these will be steeped (one is in the process now for one week because thats all it takes now since they have pre mixed bottles made already sitting before sale)I was just wondering if i should transfer the liquid in the clear bottle to the blue bottle for storage at this time. I have enough of the last bottle in my 60mil refill bottle to get by for awhile. The second 120 bottle i have is still in the bubble package and i stapled it shut and put it away. Again i was just wondering if the blue bottle would be better for storage between refills of my 30-60ml fill bottles?

Thanks in advance
Harry

Light oxidizes nicotine, so blue would be better for storage, unless kept in a dark environment...

Blue or Amber glass helps protect against UV-degradation. Similar to why most beer is in amber bottles.

The blue or amber glass are best for storage.

"Oxygen" oxidizes nicotine and NOT light. When an object is "oxidized," the object/mixture will combine or become combined chemically with oxygen

Sounds about right, if it's well sealed and kept in the dark, the colour won't matter at all.
EJAB may be right but in my experience sunlight degrades everything given time.
One bottle may seal better than the other though, I'd use it for storage. Cheers

Ok, light degrades nicotine...

Sunlight (UV) and heat are both "catlysts" (speed up chemical reactions) that due break-down (degrade) nicotine over time. UV rays react with nicotine in a different manner than heat, but they both will ruin your nicotine.

Second for blue or amber.

Of course, if you store your juices in a box or any out-of-light space, it doesn't make much difference, and clear is fine.

I believe that UV Waves are from 400nm to about 5nm.

This company says that Amber Glass absorbs "nearly all radiation with wavelengths shorter than 450 nm".

SKS Bottle - Help Info Section

Whereas Amber Glass may be a Better at absorbing High End Electromagnetic Waves, I use Cobalt Blue. It has a Cool Factor which is about 3.7 Orders of Magnitude higher than Plain Old Amber.

And I have a Filing Cabinet that Absorb ALL waves below 450nm.

Some flavoring are also light sensitive.

personally I use colored bottles only when out and about. At Home I like clear, since it is easier for me to see fluid levels. I almost need a flashlight already to read the labels, when they are on their storage shelf.
