Is it o.k to Freeze Pg Nic in the stock plastic Bottle? I know glass bottles are suggested but I have no glass bottles as of now.So I just wanted to ask.
I think it is fine for six months or so. A year or more, glass is best.

Exactly what i was going to say.Glass is definitely preferred,and most of mine is in glass,but the last 2 bottles i bought are in the freezer,still in plastic,because i need to make another bottle order eventually,but it will be a few months before i do.

I have a couple bottles that are plastic that I just put in the freezer when I bought them, but that has been a little over six months ago. Just picked up some boston round bottles on eBay to put them in. Probably would be fine to leave as it is, but better to be sure because I know I won't get to it for a least over a year. :)

Glass is preferred for long-term storage. Both PET and HDPE are permeable to air. If you want to improve the odds that your nicotine will come out of the deep freeze looking clear and tasting clean after a long period of time, you really should use glass.

If you're concerned about glass bottles breaking, you could put them in bubble wrap or some other container to help keep them in tact.

I'm more concerned about my adult relatives being clutzy with my nic.

PET plastic is good. I would avoid the PE bottles as they allow more oxygen to pass (bad).
Glass is better for long term.

True about PET bottles leaching less air but PET may leach undesirable molecular plastic by product into NIC over time.
