I do although many do not, I don't think its required but one funny thing about refrigerated juice (I drip), fresh out of the fridge and a few drops it tastes better and plumes of vapor. Cold hitting the heat? Don't know but loads of vapor.

I stocked up, I always do at every scare, so I may as well keep in fridge.

I think the chilling is for meant for extended storage. I have two bottles in the fridge and the rest out on the counter away from sunlight in a dark corner.

It's probably a good idea to keep your backups cool, but from what I read, VG and PG are not supposed to be breeding grounds for bacteria. If fact I've read about one of the two (PG, maybe?) being vaporized in buildings to keep down airborne allergens, viruses, and bacteria. Some of the flavors might suffer from heat and UV.

I keep my stock refrigerated for the most part only because I keep all of my goodies in the garage and it gets a little too hot during the summer. I have ever noticed any ill effects from it and I agree with AJMoore about the taste being better right out of the fridge. I attribute it to the liquid being thicker when it's cold.

I keep a large stash in the fridge, and a bunch in a toolbox, and a bunch on my desk and a bunch on the kitchen table, and on my nightstand and in my pockets and in my luggage and in a hole in the backyard they'll never find no matter how hard they look, and in a hollowed-out Bible and in the VCR.

What?

It's not like I'm ever going to play a VHS tape again.

On the same point, I wonder if you can actually "Freeze Juice"? Expecially, if it would last longer then the 2 years that most juices call for...I understand that it could separate, but just wondering if after you thaw it out, you can just shake the bottle and the ingredients would recombine....
Did anyone ever try and freeze their juice?
Enjoy...

I take our supplies, squeeze the air out until liquid reaches the top tip of bottle, recap, and store in a box in our nice cool and dark basement. Haven't had any stored long enough to tell full shelf life. Keep a few "working" bottles in my desk drawer.
BTW, there have been horror stories on freezing liquid and someone reported he had to throw out everything.

One of our long standing members reported losing a large supply of flavored juice (different vendors) from refrigerating. They said that all the bottles soured. Since then I have kept my unflavored nic in the fridge but flavored juices go in a case in the coolest room of the house.

From what I understand, juice doesn't simply "go bad" at the 2 year mark, but slowly starts losing it's potency. This basically means that, if there was no chance of replenishing your stock, you would just be gradually cutting back on your nic levels after the two year expiration date.
