You know this, and I know this, but please remember that the OP is a newb. It is our job as super members to help them as we have been helped. Every newb that comes in asks questions that have been discussed over and over. When we get experience, then we know how to do the Search Threads for juice Storage, but until then, it is our job to gently and considerately help them with any and all questions. Remember, dearheart, this is a new technology. We all had a starting point, right? Anyway, happy Thursday, happy summer.

I am gentle. And i was not criticizing the OP.

im kinda curious about this as well since tasty vapor says to keep there liquids under 60 degrees.

most places will say store at under 60 degrees...but that's usually celcius...which in reality is 140 Farenheit..

As far as PG goes the major manufacturers of USP grade PG all seem to agree that the key is cool, dark (not exposed to UV light), dry, and AIRTIGHT..

so the problem with fridge storage would be that any openened container where air has been introduced and then placed in a fridge that has circulating air and moisture would probably lead to microbial growth and spoiling the juice....and plastic bottles do allow for vary slow air breatheability....

so glass bottles that are completely topped off and void of air should be ok in the fridge...otherwise in a dry, dark, airtight box would be optimal for plastic bottles or opened bottles with airspace in them...

From a USP PG manufacturer:
Storage and Handling

Stainless steel and/or mild steel vessels with baked phenolic or epoxy-phenolic linings are recommended to promote long-term storage and to maintain high quality. Exposure to ultraviolet light may cause degradation of the propylene glycol. Translucent or transparent drums and totes filled with propylene glycol should not be stored where they will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Shelf Life

The shelf life of propylene glycol USP manufactured and delivered by LyondellBasell when stored and handled under appropriate conditions is two years. Subsequent handling and/or repackaging by intermediaries such as distributors may affect shelf life. Therefore, the user of this material should confirm this shelf life via testing or with their immediate supplier.
A formal study showed that propylene glycol is stable for at least two years at 25° C in steel drums lined with a baked epoxy phenolic coating and protected from moisture and air. On-going studies of propylene glycol held in glass at ambient or sub-ambient temperatures also show no degradation after two years.


Since I don't have the specially lines steel barrels and a clean room filled with nitrogen to deprive the atmosphere of oxygen.. glass bottles at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and topped off to eliminate as much air as possible seem the best I can achieve.

Thank you for clearing it up!
It's normally 95-104 in my area this time of year, so since I received my first order from Tasty I've been sticking bottles in the fridge every night! Under 60F seemed a bit extreme.

I've had ejuice in my refrigerator for 8 months without any problems, but I've had open bottles go flat and stop producing vapor in a month. I've never had anything floating in any of my juice. I buy bulk juice.

My unflavored juice has been in the freezer since sept 2009 w/ no problems.
