E-Cigarettes are on convenience stores' radar

Electronic Cigarettes Face Smoking Bans - Tobacco - Convenience Store News

The more places these products are sold, the harder it is going to be to wipe out the industry.

vaping is growing in popularity---even though slowly. I think the vape anywhere is going to depend on getting testing done and proving it does no harm.

Testing? You mean like they did with analogs? Fat chance until the gov. can figure out how to screw us out of tons of tax money to support the war machine. Then vaping wont be much fun, what $30 for a 15 ML bottle of ejuice sold ony leagally by gov. approved vendors?....Regulated nic mg? Never gonna happen, so stock up on DIY supplies, I have enough for the next 6 years....LOL.

I think it depends on testing to a certain degree, but the government isn't going to be ok and give it a pass, even if it comes out to be harmless. They will want to tax it in any case. So, if you can afford to you should stock up, at least to the point of lasting to where your inventory would be usable. That's what I'm aiming for. As you can probably tell. I have ABSOLUTELY no confidence in our government being either reasonable or fair on this, or any other issue.

Sad but true. I have about a yr worth of normal nic juice. And about a yr worth of lower nic levels to be as low as I can. If I can break the nic addiction part, I can vape away on tasty flavors just despite the FDA

hm, time to buy a bunch of unflavored nic juice and some DIY stuff... The "man" can't bring me down.

Does anyone know if you can freeze nic juice?

Does anyone know if you can freeze nic juice?

Only if your freezer is set below -50. PG is a non-toxic antifreeze, remember?

Here's what Wikipedia says about it:

Like ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, glycerol dissolved in water disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules such that the mixture cannot form a stable crystal structure unless the temperature is significantly lowered.

Lol, I think what Nicko meant was, Can you put nic juice in the freezer to slow down decomposition/oxidation and extend its shelf life?

Yes, that's what I meant.

Some time ago some members tried it and didn't have good results will try and see if i can dig up the link on it for you

 

[malyden]

Ok found it http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/26959-what-best-way-store-e-liquids.html#post424500

The info that malyden provided was for flavored juice. Unflavored base can be put in the freezer indefinitely, just try to have as little head room as possible in the bottle and make sure that it's a freezer that children cannot access. A broken bottle of juice knocked out by a child trying to rummage around for a popcicle is two dangers in one. I have had my DIY base in my spare freezer now for a year. The liquid comes out in the same shape it went in.

A freezer is a better choice than a fridge.

Use a glass bottle and leave a little headspace. In theory cobalt glass is the best but it probably doesn't matter. Place the bottle within another waterproof container such as an ice cream box or similar, or just double-bag it within ziplock bags. Put it in the coldest part of the freezer. E-liquid won't freeze because it has a very low freezing point, but the low temperature stops decomposition.

Unflavored liquid will theoretically keep longest but even flavored liquid should be OK for 3 years plus.

Don't use a fridge, especially with plastic bottles. There is something about the damp environment that transfers flavors between containers, and allows materials to decompose. Water vapor gets in anywhere via osmosis. Either use a freezer or a cool, dark cupboard above child reach height. Unflavored liquid should have a shelf life of 2 years. Flavored liquids are another matter, it depends entirely on what types.
