Juice care

[markimar]

Should the juice be stored in the fridge? Or is room temp OK? I know heat is not good for juice but does it need to be refrigerated?

I've read some horror stories from people storing liquid in the fridge. Optimum storing place would be cool (50-55 degrees) dark,and low humidity. I keep my bottles in zip-lock bags...in a box...in the basement. It's the best I can do.

Yep, that's probably the best place for them.

I didn't notice your location,but I would still stay away from the fridge. Assuming you have AC,it should be fine for months kept in a drawer,or cabinet.

I was just wondering this same thing myself. I had been keeping the bottles in an air tight container under my desk but my latest shipment from TV suggested I store them at temperatures under 60'...I like to keep the house cool but there is no way I'm setting the thermostat that low! I have since moved them to the fridge...I have no basement...Oh no! What to do??

It's not that big of a deal if it's above 60. Light is one of the biggest things you want to avoid. So, just keep it someplace dark if you can't keep it someplace cool.

Good to know! Thanks so much...they are back in the box under my desk!

Specifics, please. I moved mine to the fridge based on posts I read. I'll move them out now (but do want to know why.)

I had a decent sized humidor just sitting empty, so I've been using that for my juice supply. Of course, I don't have the mega stash some of you do.... yet!

I remember reading something about the condensation causing problems when you remove them from the fridge.

Poeia...I cant find the thread now But basically Juice needs a cool Dry place and fridges are Cool but Not Dry. Somehow the moisture messes the liquid up.

This post by Sun Vaporer is the main reason why.

Sorm--if it is unflavored--you can keep it in the fridge. If it is flavored, no fridge--just a cool, dark, and dry place. The fridge is loaded with condensation when opened and closing the door.

I lost over 400 dollars worth of e-liquid storing it in the fridge. My advise is to do not do it!!! It all turned rancid. I have e-liquid coming on two years old here that is just as good as the day I bought it and keep it in a draw. The fridge is where I lost all the money.

Thanks. It is being moved. I just have to find a good place for it. The cupboard next to the stove is partially empty, dark and dry but I doubt it would qualify as "cool."

SAY WHAT????? We've kept ours in the fridge for almost a year and never had a problem. Moisture? Fridges are moisture controlled now and besides it is a bottle. Does the eliquid leach out of the bottle? Why would you think the moisture would leach into the bottle?

I've got mine in the linen closet. Dark and mostly cool, and it's been good for 9 months so far.

 

[dkindig]

I keep mine in my wine cooler. Stays at 55-60 degrees, no light...

 

[camprman]

I have read about horror stories as well, but I had Geoff recommend putting my juice in the refrigerator. I don't know about you, but when the maker recommends it, I tend to take the advice to heart.

 

[Ladycats]

I've kept mine in one of those little fridges for over a year now (it's pet proof ) ... it sits in the computer room to hold drinks and such ... never had a problem ...

I found Geoff's posts on the subject:

I just wrote to Jebey. If you have a liquid that you anticipate running out of quickly, something you vape daily, I'd say refrigeration isn't a bad idea. But if you have a BUNCH, store it somewhere where you can keep it around 50 degrees and OUT OF THE SUN.

Some browning will occur with age and the nicotine's exposure to oxygen. That's fine, it's expected, but no liquid has a shelf life beyond a year and by all means, don't buy a truck load of my liquid thinking you're stocking up for the year. I'll be around.

Hit me up for liquids as you need them. Pace yourself. It's okay. IN the mean time. Keep your liquids COOL and OUT OF THE SUN and don't freak if they get a little darker, that's normal.

After research, I have to report that nicotine does not do well, kept or stored in areas that are 68 degrees and above. And sunlight, as stated, is a big no-no.

The browning is cosmetic and simply the nicotine reacting to exposure to oxygen. LIQUID AGE will affect the potency. It's always a wise choice to buy what you intend on vaping in the next 1-3 months to ensure you're getting fresh product from us, and as previously mentioned, keep them cool and out of sunlight.

Doubler as well. These are FOOD GRADE items that you buy from us. And storing them in the mentioned fashion inhibits bacterial growth. Bacteria is in the air, and as you let air in the bottle, you also let other little buggers in. Storing them as we've mentioned many times here simply inhibits bacterial growth through warmth and photosynthesis by exposure to sunlight.

Okay?

Ours, as is ANY e-liquid, a perishable item
