Pretty good prices here:

Tip: order extra caps, I've had some break if they are over tightened.

I use amazon. Others around here like Glass Bottle Outlet https://www.glassbottleoutlet.com/. You can also usually order them from the nic vendors which can be included in your order. For example I know Heartland sells bottles as well nic.

Is it OK to store nic in a plastic bottle in the freezer? The liter I have came in a plastic bottle, and it said it can be, but I've seen people here transfer the nic from plastic to glass before storing it.
I know 1ltr. bottles are made, not sure where to find them tho.
The way I mix I like to use the 4oz (will fit 125ml+) with poly cone caps

4 of these fit into a USPS small flat rate box, making them easier to stack in the freezer.

Most people use smaller bottles so they can thaw a bit at a time. I don't know if multiple freezing/melting cycles will age it faster, but it probably doesn't help.
Glass is impermeable to oxygen, so in theory the nic should last longer in glass. It's usually also coloured glass to help block UV light, although I don't suppose there'd be too much of that in the freezer.
1 liter is equal to 33.8141 ounces. The Glass bottle outlet offers 32 ounce bottles which would work. Remember to leave a little headspace at the top of the bottle in case you open it at a warmer temperature than when you bottled it (it will expand and overflow in that case).
I also would suggest re-bottling into smaller bottles for the additional reason that you don't want a lot of excess air in the bottle. If you work strictly from a 1 liter bottle you are going to have way to much air in the bottle when you start pouring off of it. You could use an inert gas to displace the oxygen but this is an added expense and just one more hassle.
I like to break a liter down as follows:
1) 16 ounce bottle
1) 8 ounce bottle
2) 4 ounce bottles
Total 32 ounces (give or take; many bottles have a little more space than the stated capacity)
I leave one 4 ounce bottle at room temp for my current mixing needs and freeze the rest. When I need more I break out the second 4 ounce bottle. When both of those are empty; I refill them both from the 8 ounce. When they are both empty again I refill both 4 ounce empties, and the 8 ounce empty from the 16 ounce and continue as previously stated.
That way I always have less than 4 ounces exposed to excess air at any given time. It also permits buying the fewest number of bottles. If you do end up storing additional liters I imagine you could store those in 1 liter/32 ounce bottles and then break those down into the four bottles I previously listed when they are all empty.
So for four liters total my order would look like this:
3) 32 ounce bottles
1) 16 ounce bottle
1) 8 ounce bottle
3) 4 ounce bottles (Note: I bumped this up to three just in case I had a little left over that wouldn't fit in the rest.)
Just remember that the three things we try to control to help nicotine longevity is: heat, light, and oxygen. Minimize these as best you can and your nicotine will last the longest it can.
