Does light a effect Aroma Ejuice?

[Kookie]

I was looking at a post by PLANofMan in the review thread (BTW, I didn't mean for that thread to be the review thread because it starts chatty with no review, lol. But now there is a review, so, lol.) He gave a link to glass bottles. I thought what a good idea, I have been using plastic bottles. In the choices of glass bottles you can get the brown or blue bottles. Not that my WTA juice is actually in the bottle that long and for the most part I keep my bottles in a wooden cigar box. My question is: Does light effect the WTA potency in the bottle or effect any components in the liquid? Would a light blocking bottle be effective for storage? Aroma ejuice is shipped in clear bottles so I would think no, but thought I'd ask if a light blocking bottle is a good idea for the ejuices.

Though I'm no authority, yes, light effects Aroma like any other ejuice. Light and heat are enemies of the alkaloids including nicotine. While shipped in clear bottles for economy, long term storage would be best more opaque.

What Snork said. I'll only add that if you don't expect the juice to be used within, say, two months, you should probably put it in a brown bottle like this one. 213S3 Karter Scientific 30ml Amber Glass Dropping Bottle With Glass Dropper: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

$3.99 + Shipping


The only downside to bottles like this with ground glass stoppers is that they cannot be stored on their sides. The particular one I linked to above is a fantastic buy if you are looking for that type of bottle. Most of the bottles in that style are freakishly expensive, starting at $30 and going up to $300-$400 dollars. I imagine there is a slight difference in the quality, but not enough to matter to someone who is only storing e-juice in it. I only wish they sold it in clear, green, and blue glass.

A side note: When I was down in AZ, Jerry toted whatever he had stashed (presumably juice destined for packaging and delivery) around in a medium sized beer cooler. It was hot. I thought it was a beautiful heat, except when getting into the car.

This place linked by PLANofMan: Specialty Bottle is not costly. Shipping is a bear though.

This bottle looks interesting: Glass Bottle 5 ml w/ Dropper Cap Don't know how it works though or if it would work for our purposes. Comes in larger than 5ml but thought this would be nice for a carry around tank topper.

Yeah, I'm certainly not going to have any Aroma juice sitting around for not that long. Unless I do eventually get a decent supply.

Thanks guys for the answer.

The Euro droppers can be a pain, especially since you can't squeeze the bottle. This might be a better choice if you are going that route:
1 Dram Amber Glass Vial w/ Dropper
1 dram is about 3.67 ml., and I've found if you fill them all the way, they hold between 4 and 5 ml. I keep four of them filled with Aroma ejuice in a small plastic ziplock baggie (everyone should have a stash of those, right? Every vaping vendor seems to pack something in them.) Here's a picture of that size bottle next to a 30 ml. and a 120 ml. bottle.

I agree about the shipping not being worth it for one bottle. I try to order at least 10 bottles at a time to spread the shipping cost out. They pack stuff very well. I've never received a broken bottle from them.

Hey Kookie,

General Snork called it.

Light, Heat, and Air will all affect any nic. Depending on how fast you go thru your eliquids its not too much of a concern.

We do have cobalt bottles in stock for special occasions. Do you want me to put some on the website?

FYI...usually Natural food store will carry bottles are are either Blue, Green, or Amber.

I've got a Natural food store close by. Never been in it. Now I have an excuse. Thanks, Jerry. I've wanted to eat at the Sushi Bar across the street from it for a while now. Now I just need to find my corduroy pants and tie dyed shirt and I'll blend in with the others...

Oh, good idea looking for them in the natural food store. I have a place in Ferndale. Never occurred to me to look for them there. Lemme’ look for them there first unless others want them on your site.

Yeah, the tinted bottles aren't necessary but it would be nice to do it right. If what I'm getting from you doesn't come in 18mg I get 12 & 24 and put it in a 30ml bottle.

I will definitely keep my extra bottles in my cooler this summer at work with my bottles of water. It’s not Phoenix, but it gets might hot out on the ramp at the airport in the summer.

Its not warm here yet but it will be soon.

From the lab to the warehouse, and then on to the post office we take extra precautions.

We have six fair sized coolers on wheels that we use for transportation.

We also have a sub zero fridge and a -80 freezer in the lab for storage.

Ok, this is a little off subject of light effect, but after you drop it off at the post office I suppose it is subject to a hot truck to its destination. Its only 3 days to me in Detroit. I drove a truck for 18 years. I know how hot it gets in the back of a truck.
