juice storage..... fridge or no-fridge,

[V4Lis4me]

Just wondered what ya'll do for the juice storage,

Personally, I used to just keep them all in a tupperware on top of my dresser.....
As of recent, I have just moved that same tupperware into the fridge to (hopefully) extend the shelf life... (realized I was piling up juice faster than I could use it...)


so which is it for you?

I hear keeping them in a cool, dark place is the best bet. Me? I store them by the window where the cold winter air creeps in sometimes by the air conditioner. I keep them covered up with a valentines day card

Got em in a tacklebox on the bottom shelf of my computer desk. Of course, my computer desk is in the coldest part of the house right now (right by the front door.) May need to move em to under the AC vent when the temperatures go up.

I placed my bottles in a shoebox inside the closet. Dark and cold

I read on some thread here that keeping them in the fridge will actually sour them faster..
the key thing is dark..and airtight...lot of places when it says cool and gives a temp range they give it in C so 40C is like 75 or so F

I agree with Drozd. "Room Temp" (72-75deg F) that is dark and constant is best. If it's in UV light it will yellow and could taste "off". And air-tight so that it doesn't oxidize (although the bottle has its own air and keeps the remainder out, so it's still going to, but moving air is worse if the bottle/carts are exposed to it uncapped)

Me? I store mine in the safe. My comfortable living space is 65-79. No one/thing is going to get into the stash 'cause it "smells good", and it's fire/water resistant and reasonably air-tight.

Mine are in a black pelican case with the pressure purge valve..and I kinda suck the air out of the case through the valve with the vacume tube after I get 2 or 3 6ml bottles out every week or 2..case is kept in the basement workshop where it's a constant cool and where the animals and kids don't go

I keep the liquids in a decorative cardboard suitcase on my book shelf..right next to the computer. The liquid is in a thread/floss box on top. They are out of the sun and direct light of my lamp. Comfy and cool. Some of my liquid is from when I first started 10 1/2 months ago..going strong!

cool, dark, dry place

My stuff, juices, carts and... stuff... live on a table in magnificent organization next to cool air coming in, in a stack of craft boxes, covered with a towel to keep 'em dark.
I dunno what I'll do in the summer - I also read somewhere that refrigeration degrades nicotine. A cooler (at this point, coolers) would be a nuisance...

Leaford, could you weigh in on this? I didn't submit an answer to the poll because I just don't know, and don't want a guess to look like advice. Do carts also love the cool and dark? Was recently wondering if I should have taken them all out of their boxes...

And also on length of life after purchase in general?

Also, somewhere in that 800+ post thread about nicotine strength that Leaford recently pointed someone to, there's talk of FREEZING juice for longer life. That can't be right?

 

[MJACK]

Nicotine Juice Has a shelf life of 2 years so I wouldn't worry about refrigerating it

Unflavored juice—closed box in the fridge
Flavored juice—dark, cool, dry place

I have mine in the fridge and that works great for me

hmmm....
so if i take mine back out of the fridge, do you think there is any harm in letting the temp settle back down to "room temp?"
