Does anyone have any reliable data on how long you can preserve VG/PG for in a freezer?
I don't worry about being able to aquire PG and VG in the future, so I just stocked up on a two year supply. That is the use by date / shelf life when stored in a cool dark place. This I did only to be prepared for any "run" that may occur when everybody starts freaking out when the proposed regs are released. I plan on starting to make clear glycerin soap from scratch in the near future. PG and VG are commonly used in these type of products.

... think prohibition as that's the route I see ahead for vaping in twenty years or so people will be looking back at now and wonder how we ended up with such idiots for legislator's.

Wonder not, these dishonest self-interested fools were elected by the voting public, probably some on this forum.

Never trust those who seek to govern you.

I understand that. I'm referring to nicotine base which is mixed with either PG or VG, hence the question.

In case anyone is trying to decide how much 1L of 100mg/ml of nic base will last them, here's the easy math:

I like to do the nic base required for 10mls of finished product to keep it simple. I mix different strengths for me and my wife but our current average is around 14mg/ml (and dropping every couple months. It started at close to 20mg/ml when I first got into it). Right now I average 1.4mls of base for 10 mls of juice.

1,000 / 1.4 * 10mls = 7,143mls of finished product. We vape no more than 5mls/day between the 2 of us so 7143/5 = 1428 days or 3.9 years. 1L is a just about a 4 year supply for us at our current usage. I have 3.5L stored perfectly in my icebox because if things go down in a terrible way I'll have to mix for my best friend and his wife as well. I may or may not add to the supply once the FDA proposes their plan.

They were elected because many young potential voters don't vote.
I have faith in the people's ability to choose right from crazy,...I just think they have grown lazy and apathetic, and have been brainwashed into thinking their vote doesn't matter.

    How can your vote count when you live in a state where a church decides who will get elected?!?

    I was under the impression that the current administration was voted into power due in large part to attracting younger voters?

    You really believe all those crooked congressmen and representatives were elected by the young voters?

    Try and find 3 voters under 25 that even know the names of their state congressmen and senators without google.

    They don't know their names but the free crap army knows which party to vote for.

    And we are starting to get into a political debate ... once again...

    *lassoing the topic back to the center*

    So I am actually starting to think about purchasing some base. At my current ratio of 70/30 PG/VG and at 5mg nic, I soooooooo do not know what to do!?!

    Did ya'll know I don't like math? That my brain actually hurts when it has to figure it out? That I will probably poison myself with nic before getting it right? Does anyone have any sympathy? (don't answer that last one if you don't. k?)
