E-liquid storage?

Standard best storage practices apply.
No wild temp swings
Cool and Dark
No direct sunlight
Beyond that it's up to you. I use the refrigerator because of the heat extremes here. Some debate if it's better or worse than a cool closet (pantry) But it's the only way I can keep it at a consistent temperature. Temperature swings from hot to cold is a good way to ruin anything.
If I had a root cellar I'd keep it there instead of the fridge.
Oxygen degradation of the nic seems to be a long term storage issue, so if you want it to last years, top that bottle off instead of having a bunch of half empties. But hopefully we are talking years for this to be an issue.

Should I be keeping my e-liquid in the refrigerator? I've been hoardingthis stuff and would like to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
Can someone be so kind as to throw me a clue?
Hugs,

hehe, you've been hoarding too. I have around 2 yrs worth in my freezer. Nicotine and PG have much lower freezing points than the freezer. My theory is that to reduce chemical activity (and degradation) to a minimum I try to use that lowest temperature possible.
Be nice if a chemist would chime in here.
I have always heard that nicotine only has a 2 year shelf-life... Any chemists out there with cold hard facts?
