Freezing premium e-liquid?

[T0mmy1977]

In light of the wonderful deeming regs from the FDA, I was wondering if you can store e-liquid in the freezer. Can you freeze premium e-liquid? Would it have the same flavor/quality say a year or 2 later when thawed? How long could it theoretically be stored in the freezer?

Thank you

Yes! Storing in the freezer is the preferred way to keep it long term, and according to some of our vaping chemists it may retain the same qualities as when it went in indefinitely if frozen. Even kept in a cool, dark place it will keep for at least 2 years.

2 years for ejuice with nicotine??? Has this been proven?

Hi Tommy...
"In the freezer" unless you have an industrial Deep freeze, will NOT actually freeze ejuice to a solid state.
The suggestion is a cool. dry, dark location. The freezer satisfies all of them. The only other step to preserving juice is to evacuate all the air/oxygen, to prevent ...wait for it... Oxidation.

Thanks! I store my juice in my basement where it is cool, dry and dark. I also have a freezer down there, so that's where I will store juice for future use. VapeNW has the iStick TC200W. I'll be buying some of those as well ( Along with a lot of other stuff)!

Now that I'm going back and reading this, let me be clear. The at least two years in a cool dark place and freezer suggestions are for unflavored nicotine. Flavored nic is more dependent on the flavoring itself, and each keeps for a different amount of time.

I guess I need to store nic and learn DIY juice, eh?

I've done a year with a normal NET liquid. After getting it out of the freezer and letting it breathe and the normal aging process, it was as fresh as my normal liquids. The aging process didn't start until I took the cap off.

There was no noticeable difference between my regular, non-freezer stored and the year old freezer stored liquid. No difference in taste, no difference in color. I only vape one flavor of liquid. Day in, day out. I know what it is supposed to taste like.

One year and a 30ml bottle, right into the freezer after getting it out of the mailbox.

Thank you for the confirmation!

I don't know what possessed me to even try this. I guess curiosity.

December 2014 I put that bottle in the freezer and just around Christmas 2015 I remembered I had it in there and pulled it out. Was great. Long gone now and it was good vaping!

I plan on ordering an extra 100ml bottle each order and popping it into the freezer.

I am also trying unflavored. It's not bad. I actually like it.
