I've been vaping since Dec 2009, but last summer I was still on pre-filled cartos most of the time. I know, I've come a long way since then.

But we live in an old house with crappy insulation and no air conditioning ......

Soooooo ..... the room i keep my juice in has been 80 or 90+ degrees at times.

My Boba's is so hot its not even dripping out my 100ml jug tip .... its just pouring out :(

So my question is does anyone keep their juice in the fridge ??
If I buy one of those College size ones to keep in my office are they able to be set to 60 or so degrees ??

I have to do something, I have a lot of money tied up in good juice and don't want it to go bad.
In the winter my office was in the 50s or 60s and my juice was perfect IMO so thats what I am shooting for.

Any suggestions.

I left my black mini in my car at the park yesterday (had a woodvil on me :) ) and it got so hot it filled the catch cup on me. Good thing i had it in my hand made cup holder straight up.

Tim, I have a small fridge that is great on electric. It keeps items about 50 degrees. It is thermoelectric technology, so very quiet. It's temperature is somewhat determined by surrounding temp. But I found it was fine for my use. Got it at Best Buy.

This is something I have wondered myself. Originally I was putting all of my juice in the fridge but read that it will actually make flavors separate and stuff so I then moved them to a cigar box.

So is this an actual problem with flavors separating but easily fixed by just allowing to return to room temperature and shaking well? Also does a fridge offer benefit as in shelf life?

I haven't really been able to find a definitive answer and sorry for the thread jacking

I have a reduced sized fridge upstairs (that we closed off until Sissy Dog came or guest come - guest room) I put a fridge thermometer in it before storing juice in it and it will keep at about 45F and not go below. I think, if remembering right, it's best at about 50F or up but the only way to do that is to invest in a wine cooling unit..... BIG$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I'm pretty sure that 45F should be okay.

You might want to purchase at Costco or some place like Costco that has a virtual "no ask" return policy, then get a fridge/freezer thermometer, at Walmart, and test it. Put the thermometer near the closest air return and on the bottom to test temps at both places.

I have one of those that heats and cools. I used to store plant bulbs in it. I left it out in the rain so I don't know if it works any more. I can't remember. If outside temp is 60 will it go down to <40?

I wanted to get the dorm size fridge and set on the lowest # on the dial, but I've spent so much on vaping I can't afford it right now, so I put my liquids in a drawer and put one of those freezer pack things in with them. I take it out at night and refreeze. hopefully that will help my juices make it through the summer

I'm guessing you don't have a cellar or basement, or you would have already put them in there. The wine cellar looks like a great way to go, depending on how much electricity it uses.

Another idea is to take a cheap Styrofoam cooler and put a freeze pack in it. If you change the freeze pack out once or twice a day, that should keep your juices cool, but not cold.
