Yes, I do, I have several liters frozen in brown bottles. I decant the stuff in plastic bottles into brown glass bottles at 500 ml each. I use beer bottles (not the screw on cap bottles) and bought a bottle capper with caps to seal those bottles. I fill 22 oz bottles with 16 oz (about 500 ml) of nicotine so that when I thaw one I have plenty of room to shake it up before opening, after warming. If the intrusive feds don't like it and they read this, let them get a warrant and come on in. Who knows where that freezer may be.
Yes my 3 liters are in the freezer, they don't fully freeze just get really thick.
This is a really good thread and taught me a lot about flavoring juices. I was always over flavoring mixes and never completely happy with what I made. But since I found this thread I haven't bought any juice in almost a year and never will again. I can't even stand what used to be my store bought can't live without it ADV anymore. There's some quite helpful explanations on using drops in there also. It's not exact like measuring with syringes is but since I'm not selling to the masses I don't have to be exact, I only have to like the end results. And I do.

EDIT: As a bonus, there's a lot of really good recipes in here too.

This has been my experience as well. I recently ran out of nic and bought some of my favorite store bought (mothers milk) from the b&m. Not sure how i ever liked that stuff.....All I can say is it was a miserable week waiting for my nic to arrive.
Got my first liter of mfs nic in hand and am liking it quite a bit. It is a little more peppery than ecigexpress nic but I am actually liking it better as I get a bit better throat hit with it at 3mg in unflavored.
To you DIY Masters::
Should I add Distilled Water or PG to the THIN juice a little bit -- WITHOUT Decreasing the Nicotine and Flavor??
Experiment: Added 3 drops of Distilled Water to the 6ml Reo juice bottle. Noticed it DID thin it out a little bit, but I'm just really shocked at what's happened. Don't know if it's just my palette or what... but I'm getting seriously OUTSTANDING FLAVOR AND TASTE just buy adding the drops. The juice also seems to fire up better as well. However, I'm wondering if PG would be even better. I've heard Distilled Water is a better thinner because it does NOT dilute the Nicotine like PG does. Just wondering if this is true.

I'm curious to what others have to say. I have always used 20% pg in my mix for a thinner. Have been wondering about the distilled water trick.
I recently decided to try buying unflavored base with a few flavors to try. I went with inawerashop.com and it has been a great investment.
# 18 mg 50/50 unflavored base
VPG - NicBase VPG 18 mg/ml 100ml - Chemnovatic
It's not as cost effective as diluting from 100mg - quite pricey by DIY standards. But from doing some research on the DIY sub forum, and trying it out for myself I think it's worth it to have quality base without having to dilute it. It's still far cheaper than premium juice. Current exchange rates would put a 1 liter bottle of 18mg 50/50 at about $48. That's enough juice to last me about 5 months or so whereas premium stuff costs me more like $100/month.
I found I really like unflavored, so have not ended up doing much mixing of flavors. When I do the stupid simple method I use is to measure out 9ml of base and 1ml of flavoring. The pipettes I use for measuring are easy to use and can be sourced from MFS and many other DIY online shops. They are easy enough to rinse out and re-use, but cheap enough to toss out if you want zero hassle.
NT is also awesome and reasonably priced for anyone wanting to keep premium juice in the mix. I still vape a bunch of NT, but now stretch my dollar further by keeping a reo loaded with unflavored base most of the time.

Anything added, water, flavor, PG, VG or PGA that does not contain nicotine reduces the strength, but three drops is only about 15% of a 1 ML so not really noticeable. Because water is thinner than PG you need less of it to achieve the same affect .
Try mixing some NT and unflavored in Reo bottle, you'll be amazed at how much flavor still remains.
What ratio are you using? Also, does mixing UFNB with NT lessen coil gunk?

I'm going to try that, Beast. I've also been thinking about diluting NT with straight PG to make my KFL like their juices better as well. The bottom feeders will be diluted with semi- aqueous VG.
