I see Nude says their Argon V1 lasts up to two years. That's not very long.

From Carolina Extracts...
Should I store Nicotine Products in the freezer?
No, Absolutely not. There are two components in 100MG/ML nicotine, either nicotine and vegetable glycerin, or nicotine and propylene glycol. Although most freezer units keep temperatures around zero degrees Fharenheit some will fluctuate downward by three to five degrees, and upward by two to three degrees. While propylene glycol is not readily affected by this temperature range, both Nicotine and Vegetable Glycerin are. Damage occurs to100mg/ml nicotine products when oxides form during near-freeze/thaw cycles. So while the ice inside stays "ice," outside temperatures, thermostat performance and the number of times the freezer door is opened will affect 100MG/ML nicotine in this sensitive temperature range. Typical refrigeration temperatures, or even room temperatures are a much safer storage range than 27-33F because they are well away from freeze/thaw potential.

I see recommendations for both freezing nic and keeping it in a dark, cool (unfrozen) place.
What to believe??
All my Nic is purged with argon and stored in the freezer, and all of it is as clear as the day I put it in there. My first batch went in there in December of 2014, and I am still using it, it is fine. MY

Both nude nic and Carolina extract have sample sizes, you can get single liters of PG and VG on Amazon, I highly recommend Essential Depot for those. For mixing, a 200 ml cylinder, polypropylene is recommended, and a 5 ml syringe with a blunt tip is all you really need to get started. Any old bottle large enough to hold your ingredients and shake them up will suffice. good luck.
Have you ever been to the Carolina Extracts store?
My most recent mix was with Armor V1 that's spent the last five years in my freezer. It's good as new.
Nic Base Storage: Freezer vs. Room Temp Experiment
I have to go with Rossum on the Nude Nicotine, never tried the Carolina stuff. I have a lot of NN in my freezer and I have never noticed any particular flavor ecept a very light "sweetness" which may be that I use VG diluted with water - no PG. I get it 100% VG. Mrs CMD is a frost free freezer kind of gal. To combat the defrost cycle, I wrap the bottles in a few layers of bubble wrap for insulation. Also, I buy the stuff packed with Argon in 500 ML bottles and never transfer it to other containers. When I open a new bottle, I let it thin in room temp then just take out my 18 ML re-wrap it and stick it back in the freezer. I have not noticed any degradation of quality but I am not a discriminating vaper. So who knows, your palate may vary.
I don't put much stock in what a nic supplier recommends, after all they want to sell nic, and sell it often.
Like others, I'm using 5 year old nic without issue.

Recommending freezer storage isn't exactly making your product more enticing when most people either don't have the room in their freezer or don't want to mess around with freezing anything but ice cream and t-bone steaks.
Also, golly, if ANYTHIG should be outlawed it's clove cigarettes. Posers at my college were ALWAY smoking them I don't know HOW. For me, instant headache.

I know a guy who knows a guy who, in addition to ice cream and steaks, freezes vodka. They swear, no degradation.
You could be right about that, my 74 year old mind may have slipped a cog or two but I am sure it is somebody I know who knows.
