Diy storage

[Brian77]

New member here on forums. From Western kentucky. Hello everyone, I started making my own ejuice about 3 months ago and I enjoy it and the possibilities is almost endless for flavors. Have a question on storage ideas for juice. I have several 15, 30, and 60 mil bottles, even few 120 mil. Mostly empty ones that I bought and several from juice I have bought. Now onto storage of large batches, is can you make, store in mason jars??? Meaning mixing all ingredients (pg, vg, flavor, nic) and storing large batches in mason jars. Then when needed transfer to smaller bottle (30 or 60 mil).


Thanks for the help

Hello and welcome to the forum @Brian77. Glad to have you here!

Yes. I use the wide mouth mason jars with plastic wide mouth caps.

Can you use the metal lids and bands or should only use plastic lids

I use the mason jars with the rubber seal on the cap and threaded ring for my Pg/Vg . I've also been told that the larger the batch the longer it will take to steep.

You can use either. I just happen to have plastic lids so that is what I use.

Thanks for the help. I don't mind making the juice, just have a few flavor combos I like and rather make larger batches, and since have mason jars around.

Thanks

That's exactly how I store my VG and Nicotine. Mason jars work great

If you want to store your juice for a long time in clear jars, store it in darkness. Light not good for nicotine (may be for flavors also).

howdy! and welcome!

i tend to store my bigger batches in 8oz or 16oz boston round bottles i grabbed from amazon and another packaging suppler (http://packagingoptionsdirect.com/) but I am betting the mason jars work fine - only concern there would be light - i tend to prefer the dark amber/ cobalt bottles for larger batch storage

Mason jars are just fine for storage, but you MUST keep the juice in the dark. Sunlight causes nicotine to oxidize and degrade, and can do the same to some flavorings as well. Keep the juice in a cool, dark place like a closed closet or cabinet.
