Freezing Nic Juice - PG or VG?

[NicoHolic]

...or does it matter? Which degrades slower in the freezer? I vape 50/50 at this point with no problems. Can one develop a reaction to PG over time? Would 100% VG nic juice be a safer bet against that happening? Or would it be better all around?

Thanks!

My method is simple. I make 50/50 juice. Most flavors come in PG so I use VG for my NIC.

An average recipe for me for 15ml would look like:
3.75 NIC (48mg/ml)
3.75 VG
5 PG
2.5 flavor

The only downside is that VG is thick and I think I saw something about NIC storing better in PG (don't quote me on that).
Whatever the case, I'm sure you'll get some good advice and plenty to consider.

Either is fine to stick in freezer. Buy cobolt blue glass bottles and fill up to about 1/2 from top.

What JColt said. Kurt seems to give the edge to VG nic, but Salemgold and others have had PG nic in the freezer for 2-3 years without reported problems.
I have only bought PG nic - mostly because I'm scared of working with the thicker VG - but I may end up giving the VG nic a try.

Hi NicoHog,
Some people can't vape PG - Kurt and others do vape 100% VG.
I'm fine with PG, so maybe someone can give you more facts.

Thank you all for the good advice!

I suspect it's best to freeze only unflavored nicquid for long-term storage. The flavors might well change (and not for the better) after some years below zero.

I freeze 100 mg./ml. unflavored rocket fuel, then bring up to room temperature and DIY (dilute with PG and/or VG, then add flavor) small batches.

My drop-in freezer fluctuates between -5 and -15 degrees Farenheit. I'll leave frozen steaks and porkchops in there for months without worry. But once I lost a package of hot dogs in there for about four or five years (excellent, German-style, skin-on dogs in cryo-pack purchased on one of our forays beyond the Cheddar Curtain). I thawed them, then lovingly simmered them. They hadn't gone bad, in the nasty bacterial sense, but they definitely tasted "off."

Thanks, Pete! I just placed an order with them.
