ejuice storage

[Tin Cup]

Can someone tell what's the best way to store my e-juice? Does sunlight, heat, cold, or anything else make it go bad? How long does it last if stored properly?

Thanks-

TC

If you have space in your fridge I'd go ahead and put some in there if you have a lot.

One thing though, it gets thick in the fridge so a little "thaw" for an hour and it'll thin up. If you take it directly out of the fridge and drip you'll get "big fat rain" as Forrest Gump would say.

If you just have a 10 ml bottle I wouldn't bother putting it in the fridge as you'll probably use it in a week.

Also, keep out of sunlight. I just put mine in a drawer. Cool dark areas...like everything else.

Thanks, I was pretty sure that "cool, dark" was the way to go. I want to stock up, but don't wanna keep more than I can use before it goes bad.

Maybe I'll email the suppliers and ask what the shelf life is, but if anyone knows, please let us know.

From what I have read most have a 6 month shelf life. Now at the same time, I am not sure if that shelf life is extended if you stick them in the freezer.

Yes It will effect.

I suggest to put it in a Tin Cup!

I would also advise not taking the liquid directly out of the fridge and dripping.

I'm thinking that it's probably not always the best to drop a cold liquid on a heated coil.

Just my 2 cents. I could be wrong.

On the liquid-bottles I have coming in, it says it will hold for two years. But of course that will be when 'dark and cool'. I keep mine in the fridge; and get out a couple of milliliters of any tastes I think I will fancy once a week or so; those go in small bottles and are stored under normal-temp conditions, so I am always using not-cold liquid that way while still storing my stock cool and dark (btw looks like they hold out fine in the freezer also; just get thicker and thats it, goes right back to normal when taken out again).

Correct! Yes! DO NOT DROP COLD LIQUID ON A HOT ATOMIZER!!!!

If the atomizer is cold its fine....
