Water freezes. My PG/VG base blends freeze a bit too. Not sure how it effects it on the molecular level, but I've been using frozen PG and VG for several months with no problems to date. I give the 4oz glass bottle I freeze them in a gradual warm bath to make the ingredients easier to work with when it's time to take them out.

Yeah I wish I knew.. as of now this summer is super humid and hot.. I have mine in a dark place but my apartment gets very hot so I can't really get a super cool place... I'd love to stick em in the fridge if I can! I know you're supposed to put certain flavors in the fridge (some creams, etc) but I do wonder about the others.

If there wasn't a cool dark area in my house, I'd throw them in the fridge but as long as it doesn't get super hot in your house I don't see them evaporating rapidly or the heat degrading the flavor. I might be wrong. Let us know if it affects the flavor if you try the fridge.

Thanks I will let you know... I went absolutely crazy with flavors when I made my first purchases (seriously.. I have SO MANY flavors!) - I know I won't use them all up anytime soon so I'd love to keep them for as long as possible... I'm wondering which is better... being very warm or being very cold! My money is on cold, but what do I know?

I might have a mini fridge soon, so I will test it out!
