Freezing nicotine

[dannyv45]

Since light and air are the 2 biggest enemies of nic base, it's a good practice to break it down into sizes that will only be out of the freezer for 3 months or so. For me that is 120mls but I also mix for 3-4 people. You'll need to do the math and figure it out for what you mix.

After 3+ months, the nic that is removed from the freezer will turn a little yellow. Totally normal and no big deal whatsoever. Just part of the oxidation process. I actually like mixing my unflavored with the oxidized nic. Has a nice flavor to it all by itself.

The out of the freezer time period for your working NIC can be extended to 5 - 6 months if stored in the refridgerator after each use. I in fact refreeze my working bottle during longer periods of non use and have not noticed any adverse effects.

Most of my stash is in glass bottles in the freezer. I've kept working bottles at room temperature for 6 months or more with mixed results. One lot in a plastic bottle acquired a nasty taste. But others in blue glass bottles still seem fine. I didn't intend to keep them out so long, but I became curious about trying other brands before finishing up the older bottles.

Anyway, bottom line is that I'm a believer in using glass bottles as much as possible now.
