How to store Nicotine?

[kingraptor724]

So I have a bottle of 100mg nicotine arriving in the mail tommorow. VG and PG can just be stored in my closet or something but how is nicotine stored in the freezer? Like How do you unthaw it when you need it and make sure it doesnt break in the freezer. Also are you suppose to warm it up to room temperature to mix with it or do people just mix with it when its almost frozen. Thanks

The easiest way is to break it down into smaller size glass bottles then wrap in bubble wrap, tin foil and put in plastic Baggie and freeze. Take out one smaller bottle to work with and let it reach room temp.

It isn't going to freeze in any freezer you have at home, and the container isn't going to break. Do let it come up to room temperature before mixing. Any vg in the mixture will become very viscous at low temperatures. A lesser problem with pg, but let them both come up to room temperatures, anyway.

I found Amber Boston rounds on eBay and you can check on Amazon too.

Well what kind of bottles. I mean the 100mg bottle is only 125ml so its relatively small, i mean didnt think id need more since thats about 68 bottles of 30ml 6mg

Oh so you got 125 ml? I would get a glass bottle Boston round Amber or blue to transfer it to if you got it in plastic.

Depends on how long it will take you to use it. Stored at room temp in cool dark closet it will be fine for a couple months, don't open any longer than necessary. If longer split it up and store a portion in the freezer and keep some out for mixing.

Best place I've found for the boston bottles and polycone caps.
Glass Bottle Outlet

If you decide to buy nic in bulk, I like these bottles with eurodropper inserts for syringe dispensing and spill-protection, plus the inserts act as a gasket similar to a polycone cap.

Essential Oil Amber Dropper Bottles | Specialty Bottle

Also available in blue and green glass. Prices are comparable to the Glass Bottle Outlet. Leave a few mL of headspace in the bottle for freezer storage. I've never had a break in the freezer, but putting the bottle in a ziplock freezer baggie is not a bad idea, nor is a bit of padding like a paper towel or bubble wrap if you are concerned.

Depending on how much room you have and how much you buy, you may want larger bottles for most of the nic, and smaller for dispensing from. Most of my storage bottles are 50 mL (2 oz), also for dispensing for daily use, with larger ones for bulk storage.

Been doing it this way for almost 7 years, and my liquids are as fresh as the day I put them in the freezer, many more than 6 years old now. Same for many others here. I expect many years of virtually 100% preservation doing this.

I really like these bottles.

Subscribing so I can find it quickly to order this weekend.
