Is freezing nicotine solution a viable choice for storage? Would it alter the chemical properties and does nicotine have a freezing temperature that can be achieved in a freezer? I refuse to go back to analogs, ban or no ban!
Frozen Nic?

I'm not sure there's a definitive short answer, I have a fair amount vacuum packed some of which is in the freezer as well, here's a link.

I used to keep analogs in the freezer to extend the life of unopened packs in a carton, plus cold menthols really did taste amazing by comparison...
I think, given the ratios, the better question is whether or not the PG or VG in the liquid can handle those temps. PG I'd feel fairly sure is going to fine, as it's essentially a non-toxic antifreeze in and of itself.
VG.. that's probably going to at least thicken up for a while, but I don't know much more about it's behavior.

I keep some juice in the freezer, it does not freeze, still liquid. I would imagine that any chemical change the juice would go through would be slowed very much at the low temp so I'll take my chances. I also keep juice in the fridge too, never had a problem. I also used to keep analogs in the freezer, never had a problem with that either which led to me trying the juice in the freezer.
How long have you had it in the freezer? Have you tested it lately?
freezer is fine...its mainly PG which is anti-freeze, so its fine. But let it return to room temp before vaping it, and give it a shake.
The longest period so far has been 9 months. I'm vaping some dekang camel that I took out of the freezer a few days ago it was in the freezer since February, tastes just like it's supposed to, nicotine still effective, loads of vapor, it's fine. Same for the juice I've kept in the fridge.
I'd find out from the above post what type of bottle he uses...some of them 'might' crack.
I can't believe what I just read. PG is anti-freeze. So your saying you vape anti-freeze? I suppose you believe everything the FDA says.
Seriously, no need for the attitude.
But allow me: If you actually knew what you were talking about, you would know that PG is IN FACT antifreeze! I have PG in my radiant heat because it is antifreeze. Its used in many applications as antifreeze. Yes im talking about Propylene Glycol.
Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Propylene glycol is a component in newer automotive antifreezes and de-icers used at airports"
Just to help clarify. "Anti-freeze" can be any substance which has a lower freezing temperature than the liquid you are trying to keep fluent. Water freezes at 32^C, any substance mixed with that water that lowers the freezing temperature of the water is technically an anti-freeze. With an environmentally conciencious population, it is not surprising that new anti-freezes are being made more environmentally safe. Hence, no surprise here.
Wonder if it has anything to do with what it is mixed with. Do we know what each solution contained?
