I F'd up

[bace a flunt]

I poured pg that had been in my freezer into amber bottles with less than a centimeter to the top of the bottle and tightened the lid. One of the 120ml bottles of 100mg nic exploded as I was making that other thread. It didn't cross my mind that it will be expanding as it warms up.

I don't know, but that is scary. Maybe a weakness in the glass? In canning we leave 1/4inch to 1/2 inch head space to allow for goods to expand and non track. Also in canning, you need to be very care full about glass that has been damaged. Why is plastic not a good idea?
It would have prevented this issue. Ball freezer containers for canning are designed to go intothe freezer and take high heat?

Putting a cooled liquid, contracted, into a sealed fixed volume and allowing it to warm, expand, will produce some incredible pressure. Glad nobody was hurt.

Surprised the cap didn't blow off or split. that should have been the weak point, unless the glass was flawed.
