I'd love to know just how many freezers have been bought just for nic storage in the last few weeksI installed one of these yesterday. Ought to be plenty big enough to hold 20yrs of 100mg nicotine.

I have been buying bulk nic the last couple of years...but only when it was on sale...I buy the insulated lunch bags and divide it up into 125 ml glass bottles and wrap each one in a ziplock bag. I then put 3 in another ziplock bag. The lunch bag can hold 6 bottles this way and thats a whole liter..(Plus I can grab them quick if there is a fire! LOL)

I figured my own ratio out a bit ago. It was 4 years for each of 3L of nicotine at 18mg per ml. Found a vendor selling liters of unflavored nicotine base juice at 18mg/ml too. 6L = 8 yrs, 9L = 12 yrs, 12L = 16 yrs, 15L = 20 yrs at least in my case. 30L then would get me another 40 years. At the vendor's price of $44 per Liter that would mean $1,320 for what possibly would be my remaining lifetime supply. At present that's money I don't have. I may need to buy a year at a time, which would be 1L each chance I had to buy.
@Two_Bears - Thought you might want to go back and edit your post #17. I did a real doubletake, and about spewed my coffee on my monitor, when I read about the ice crystals!
Thank you brother. I use an Android phone as my computer and when i am very tried typo city!
I started stock piling back in November. A liter here a liter there. I quickly learned NOT TO let the other half put the items in the freezers as I may never be able to find them again (nearly had to empty a chest freezer to find one bottle). So the dedicated freezer made sense.
While I've been loading up on "Nude Armor" in 120mL bottles I'll have to admit that the 2.1CF freeze is a bit overkill, a 1.1CF freezer would of worked but the smaller models seemed at first glance to small however 1CF ought to be room for 28 liters and even if we use 18 liters to account for packaging, there is still room left over for 10 liters of nicotine in the 1CF freezer. (sigh)
There are always exceptions
They go GREAT together [emoji6]
Perhaps there would be more vapers here if some famous wrasslers or NASCAR drivers vaped?
First you said '4 years for each of 3L of nicotine at 18mg per ml'. So, 3L should last you 12 years.
But, that doesn't match with the rest of what you said.
You're buying at 18 mg/ml strength?
What mg/ml do you vape at, and what quantity do you vape?
Just to keep the record straight she said she had kept it in there for one year (give or take a couple of days). Sadly this is how rumors and mis-information gets started. Granted, this experiment proved that some e-liquids can be kept in the freezer for up to a year thus leading us to believe that if it works for one year it most likely will be alright after 2, 3 or 10 years.
Keep in mind that not all e-liquids are the same. Hers was a net e-liquid. someone else's fruit or dessert might not fair as well. we can only find out by running the test ourselves with our particular e-liquid.

Precisely
If anyone plans on keeping some of their ready made stock in the freezer, test it first before assuming it will fare well.
I know. But, MMM's post confused me. Four year per liter sounds like 60 - 100 mg/ml, probably 100. But, the rest of the post confused me.
If 1 liter lasts 4 years, then 5 liters would last 20 years or 10 liters would last 40 years. If you buy it on sale, that's only $400 for 40 years, not $1320. So, I'm confused.
I'm probably just missing something. Moving on.
That is 3 Liters will last 4 years at 2mL of 1.8mg/18% per 1mL of juice daily. So then I figured 3 Liters for every four (4) years. Ergo, 6 Liters will go eight (8) years, 9 Liters is 12, 12 Liters is 16 years, 15 Liters is 20 years. It matches up. What I said in another way was that 1 3 Liter bottle lasts 4 years for me. Each 3L lasts 4 years.
I vape 1.8mg/mL, or 18% nicotine per mL. In a 30mL bottle that works out to being roughly 3.60mL of nicotine base of 100% nicotine that vapers use. It is not pure grade nicotine, rather a 10% cut with the carrier base be it PG or VG.
I am not sure I agree with this. I store e-liquids in the fridge and they vape perfectly well and taste the same when thawed out. Granted I store mostly NET liquids but my sweet, bakery and fruity flavors store just as well. The fridge sits at 4 degrees, which is probably the average day time average of a Northern European country.
Having said that, I would never store mixed eliquids in the freezer.
Yep, but I would be getting a base mix of 41% PG, 41% VG, that would be 82% of the mix. That leaves 18% of the mix to be 100% nicotine in whatever carrier the mixer uses. I could get 33 30mL bottles out of this. I may not be using the full 1,000mL but that I leave as a overage/spill buffer. I may end up with maybe 34 30mL bottles actually but I'm kind of doubting that, thinking closer to 33 30mL and maybe 1 15mL. This is based on 1L, or 1,000mL. Then doing averages of 1.5 - 3.0mL daily use I come to 2mL I use daily. Plug that into the formula to devise that 3L will last me 4 yrs.
365 days per year * 2mL = 730mL per year needed + overage of another 270mL = 1L + 270mL Overage/spill * 4 = 1,080mL surplus per year.
3 Liters in such a way lasts me 4 years, I have what is needed for 3 years, 1L per each of 3 years plus the extra surplus of a Liter for overage/spill --- 3L lasts 4 years for me.
