How do you store your juice?

[Fidola13]

im new to vaping and still getting the lay of the land.

I’m finding my coffee table cluttered with all types of different bottles and brands of e juice. I bought a couple samplers as well.

So the question is - how do you store your liquid? Out of the sun? In a cool area? In a plastic container? Etc....

Thanks so much!!

You want to store them in a cool dark place. Don' expose them to high Temps or a great deal of light, some juices will darken and can become harsh tasting. My friend and I make our own juice in large batches and refrigerate it so that it keeps better and the nicotine doesn't get harsh. We also have a separate fridge for storing the juice where it is not within the reach of little people.

Fidola, those that I'm using, I keep in a drawer (dark, cool). Those that are full, new, unused bottles get stored in the freezer. Never a prob in nearly 7 years vaping.

Keep all my Vape gear and supplies in a “hutch” in the breakfast nook of the kitchen. Keep all my juice in the bottom cabinet of the hutch. Cool and dry for sure. It’s the coldest corner of the house year round. Never had any juice go bad. Matter of fact I’m vaping a bottle of three to four year old juice right now.

Keeping it out of the light and not letting it get hot seems to work well.

These are such helpful ideas! Thanks so much for all the responses. Sara

I tend to make in large batches so I don't have to do it as often, so I keep the large bottles in the freezer, and then as I need juice, I fill smaller 30ml unicorn bottles that stay in a box on my desk so that they aren't out in the light. My vaping operation is a pretty small one compared to a lot of people here though, so my way might not work too well if you have a lot of different juices that you're vaping. I keep to a pretty standard three.

I keep my diy mix in the frig (not freezer). Nic concentrate is in amber glass bottles, wraped in bubble wrap inside a zip lock bag in the freezer. PG and VG, in aa closet.

Mine live in the fridge as here in Australia it get rather warm during the summer 95+f/40+c degrees.

That’s a great idea for our summers. Thanks!

Anytime mate I just set aside one of the covered shelves in my fridge and declared it off limits to everyone in the house, if you have little ones I would suggest adding a lock of some sort.

With you on that one! I got myself a little 46lt bar fridge in December. Found the perfect spot on a kitchen bench for it and all my liquids (and nothing else) go in there. Too rotten hot at the moment to leave them out!

vg,pg and flavoring in a cabinet.made up in frig and nic in the freezer.keep out 120 to 30mls to vape on at all times.now that i'm typing this,might be considered a hard core vapor?

My nic is in the freezer along with my backup diy flavours and vg cause I got nowhere else to put them

I store any e-liquids I won't be using routinely in "my" refrigerator including flavorings, whatever nic base is open (and not frozen) and some liquids I don't use a lot of like my wholesale WTA liquids (the one in use, I leave out). I keep most of my mixes in amber bottles to avoid light issues, but I don't worry about heat as much, since I tend to be in the middle of the steeping process when I start vaping it (sometimes... Not so much now that I've gotten an assembly line going). Otherwise, it's in a dark place in my vaping closet. I do probably have too many bottles out, but it's really difficult when I'm vaping so many different flavors at a time. If I've made a double mix and it's done steeping, I will put one bottle in the refrigerator, but I'm not entirely sure that is needed, even (I use 60 ml bottles... So... most will be done with in a few months or at the most, 6.)

I'm actually seeing a NEED to slow down on mixing and vape away what I have. so probably won't start DIY again for a month or so as I just got a bunch of new flavors that I am really enjoying and I made 90 mls, not 60.

I have noticed my storebought vanilla that I couldn't vape (didn't agree with me) has darkened considerably over the months, but they are in clear plastic bottles. With amber bottles, I don't tend to see much darkening, even if light is present.

Thanks! That gives me some great advice for when I give making my own juice a try.

Happy New Years!!

I had no idea you could store liquids in a refrigerator....thought they might freeze solid...obviously not.

Would you keep them in the freezer compartment or in the cooling section?

 

[Beamslider]

Both vg and pg have much lower freezing points than water. I think 10f degrees for pg and 2F for vg

The problem with a fridge is if you constantly taking the juice in and out replacing the cold air with warm air in the jug its going to condensate maybe ruining the juice. Some live in climates that require juice to be kept in a fridge but just on a shelf in a cooler spot should do. Mine just sit on a shelf in the basement, just my nic and some concentrates are in a freezer.

it should be based on how long it will be stored. more then a month in the frig, more than a year then the freezer. that's my theory and sticking to it even if its not right.

Never had that problem and I have been keeping my ejuices in the fridge for 7+ years. Nic in freezer except what I am using.
Always allow ejuice to warm to room temp and shake before refilling the bottle that you use on a daily basis. The ejuice I use (in 30ml bottles) on a daily basis resides in a tool box at room temp and lid closed.
YMMV
