Glass is recommended because it can't react with VG, PG or NIC and it's allied alkaloids. Amber glass is best to reduce light exposure which can degrade the NIC. Fill all the way as VG and PG have low freezing points and don't expand like water when frozen. Glass is worth the extra cost in my opinion. I use 2 oz boston round amber bottles with polyseal caps and add some teflon plumber's tape to the bottle threads to make sure they are airtight. Smaller bottles are good so you can divide up your supply and keep what you aren't going to use for awhile frozen. The small bottles are also cheaper. For me the shipping was expensive. You might want to source locally. My 
You just made my month!!!!!!!
I don't know why Google can't find good online bottle sellers.edit: Wow they are expensive. The shipping must be factored into the price. Probably the same as e-bottles.com. Nice to have more than one supplier though.

I rebottle nic in 120ml (4 oz.) glass bottles, leaving a little space (gloves, safety, etc.). Then I put them in ziplock freezer bags and put them in the freezer in a box. No plastic bottles. After all, there is still food in there. lol
This place in is OH, maybe shipping would be cheaper to you for glass bottles? I just ordered some and shipping was around $10 for a case of 120ml amber and 100 30ml PET. I thought that was reasonable.

Ya. Sounds better than ebottles.com. Thanks. You can never have too many bottles. Also to the op (since you brought up safety glasseye) I also use a chemical respirator since I have one. NIC has fumes. Probably overkill but you want good ventilation.
Hi Moogle,
Glass is best, yes, but the best advice seems too be - DO NOT fill all the way. Even Kurt ( chemist) had an accident because of overfilling.
Hi glasseye,
I bought bottles elsewhere twice, but in all honesty, it usually works out cheaper with free shipping wherever I buy my nic or flavors.
120ml Cobalt Blue Glass Bottle
60ml Amber Glass Bottle w/ Polycone Cap
I usually do that as well Judgment. Most of my nic is in the cobalt bottles from RTS. I had a bit of a bottle shopping spree the other night so I thought I'd pop that link in since the OP is in Ohio as is US Plastics.

Guess I mis-spoke. Thanks for clarifying.
I did leave a small space at the top of the bottle.I forgot to mention- To the OP if you're interested, I also put a sticky label on the bottles with where I got the nic from, that it is nicotine, the mg/ml and the date that I froze it, and then write it again on the ziplock in permanent marker. Because you never know.
Damn I overpaid for my glass. Must research. MUST.......RESIST.......IMPULSE........SPENDING
I just got a liter of nic today put in bottles in a plastic coffee can with paper towel and toilet paper cardboard rolls over my 60 ml bottles and put in the freezer. It works great to keep them from breaking.
Thanks, Pete! If there's a bit of air in the top, I'd planned on just "freezing" the one liter bottles the nic juice ships in, in a HD Ziplock bag. Now I'll plan some cushioning to go with that. Great ideas--thanks for those.
Thanks for the tip. Their prices seem pretty good and free shipping is great. I've looked elsewhere for bottles and some of the prices and shipping costs I've seen are quite high.
Hoping not to hijack this thread but its the most recent on the subject. I see everyone is getting amber bottles, but I have cobalt blue. As long as they are in tinted bottles that's ok right. I will also have them in a freezer sealed in a box so there wont be any light to them until I pull one out anyway.
Second part of the question as I have seen mixed answers across forums, etc. I thought the purpose of freezing the nic juice was to preserve it and make it "live" past its "expiration date" of about two years. I posted how I was researching how to freeze and he responded "I freeze my nic but it will just get less potent when it gets past its use by date". I don't think there is any other way to interpret this other than freezing does nothing to preserve the life of the nic and it will expire when it would normally expire. Anyone have thoughts or another way to interpret this? Thanks in advance and great info in this thread.
