Deep freezer vibrates...

[kaahn]

Thanks ahead of time for the responses.

I've scoured these forums to try to find an answer to this question and was wondering if some of you DIY gurus could enlighten me. I am looking to store nicotine base for long term storage for my DIY juices. I have a deep freezer that I am going to store my nic base in separated into 30ml brown bottles with poly caps wrapped in tinfoil and placed back in the box that the bottles shipped in, taped shut, and placed into my deep freezer. My question is my freezer vibrates a little. Should I be concerned about that vibration degrading my nicotine base?

Also I'm up in the air about whether to order VG or PG 100mg nic. Which is better for long term storage...say 10+ years.

Thanks again for your speed replies!

Depending on how bad it vibrates it could be an issue. As it may make the NIC interact with what ever air is in the bottle. You may want to re-bottle into smaller glass bottles and make sure there filled to at least a 1/4 inch from the top to eliminate as much air as possible.

As far as ordering your NIC in VG or PG if you vape a VG heavy vape 60 - 100% VG then get it in VG if you vape a heaver pg vape get it in PG.

Great advice Danny (as always) but I think you missed the part about transferring to 30ml brown glass bottles

To the OP , be sure your nic is mixed VERY WELL before transferring to the smaller bottles so each one will be the same nic strength.

Thanks for the replies! I plan on purchasing liter sized base maybe gallon sized. What do you recommend to "agitate" my base before I transfer it to smaller quantities?

I would think that the PG would be more stable for long term storage than VG. It is what I got my 100 mg nic base in. And unless you are allergic to PG the volume in your mix the PG will be negligible when using 100mg nic base. Especially for me since I have gone down to 10mg or less in my mix.

I usually buy mine 100%pg so it is fairly easy to shake and so I just shake it and shake it some more. I trust the venders I buy from to have mixed it very well before they ship it but I still shake it very well before re-bottling it.
