Does heat affect eliquid?

[klstreet]

Until my new place is finished I'm living in an upstairs apprtment with no air conditioner, landlord said we'd get a window unit once summer started, and now refuses to(part of the reason we are moving) but when I'm out working or what ever I usually dont even leave the fan runnign and with our 95 degree weather it gets hot up here! so should I worryu about my eliquids in the heat? should I put them in the fridge oir something?

I have noticed that they do get runnier in hot weather.

95 degrees? I'd put them in the fridge and take them out maybe 30 min before you use them (they tend to get "thicker" in the fridge as long as they are cold) I wouldn't leave them in that kind of heat all day............

It's like with gremlins:
1) Keep it out of bright light (no sunlight)
2) Don't mix it after midnight (when you're tired)
3) Don't add too much water

Also, keep it capped.

E-juice is designed to be heated to vapor point. Some even heat it for "quick steeping" using warm water baths. For long term storage of large amounts, or stuff you aren't using, sure...chill chest. Otherwise, I'd just keep it handy. But that's me.

I'm more worried about you in that heat.........get plenty of water and stay cool!

I noticed some of my eliquid was very runny and the flavor was off when I refilled my cartos today,(I usually refill cartos at night after work when it's cooler, I put all my bottles in the fridge just incase, I'd hate to lose a bottle of juice I freaked out and stopped using the condom method to refill them when I realized you lost a little juice when you have to blow the excess out of the hole lol I'm weird about losing even one drop of juice, and super paranoid about it(slight paranoid schizophrenic, I get paranoid about every thing, even things that aren't there lol) but I'm fine in the heat, grew up in Florida and did construction, so I'm used to it

This, i also find that they stay runnier the longer there out. If you keep them out for extended periods of time they will get more and more runnier at room temp, or maybe thats just me

I believe long term heat will reduce the nicotine level, but that is it. You heat your juice when you put it in your atty/carto or tank. I think it would be fine in a dark place such as a cupboard or drawer. If you feel better placing it in the fridge, you can try that too - i know thats how you should store nicotine long term, just not sure what it would do to the flavorings as they are suppose to be stored room temperature.

I posted about this earlier, because I had some juices left in my mailbox for a couple of days in Phoenix. (it was around 108-111 degrees on those days) Here is the info I got:
