E-liquid Base storage

[Gunshow]

Hello everyone.
I've been looking through the various e-liquid subforums but I can't seem to find anything that talks about a safe way to store e-liquid base. I accidentally bought more than I intended to and I want to store it where it won't go bad. I live in Hawaii and don't have A/C so I'm concerned it might break down if it gets too hot. I bought a bit that's 70/30 PG/VG, some 50/50 and some 20/80 so I could test out different mixtures.

I think I read somewhere that freezing it is definitely bad but how about the fridge?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm using this for all of my hardware:



Great to fill all needs.

Yeah, I picked up a tool case at Lowes for about 20 bucks that I'm pretty happy with - but I'm asking about long term storage for e-liquid bases.

Fridge would be fine. Just dont let it sit directly in the sun or somewhere where is gets really hot/moist.

Storing eliquid in a cool, dry, dark place is your best bet

I vote for the fridge, also.

If it's just the base without flavoring, Kurt says you can freeze it.

 

[Gunshow]

Yes, no flavorings to speak of - thank you, Ma'am
Any ideas how long it will keep that way?

IMHO fresh zone in the fridge, so, not so cold place to freeze it. not need to freeze, I think.

Swedishfish is referring to the nic base that is used in DIY, not the eliquid that you buy premade to vape with. If it is DIY nic base, you can freeze it. If it's premade juice, don't freeze it. It's usually suggested just a cool, dark place is best. If that's not possible for you due to hot weather and/or no air conditioning, the refrigerator would be better than the heat, altho probably not optimal. OTOH, if you are vaping with it, it probably won't be in the refrig long enough to make a difference.

kinda agree with Swedishfish, that's golden mean.
