Keeping e-juice in the fridge

[L33R0Y]

Who keeps their liquid in the fridge... or freezer. You do but not plugged in...
I store my supplies in a bar fridge up to wine chiller temp, hoping it won't affect flavouring agents.
Avg quantity with a month supply as buffer.
Any thoughts...

G'day

Nic base in the freezer for long term storage, in the fridge for use in the next few months, in a normal room for immediate use.

I have experimented with this in the past and have found it to do nothing other than make my liquids viscosity a little thicker, until the juice gets back up to room temp. There certainly is no harm in doing it, nor can I say there is any benefit to my knowledge.

I always wondered if keeping juices cold keep the ingredients fresher.

I think the general opinion is, to keep e-liquid stored in a cold, dark place for longer term storage. I keep mine in the fridge and then I've got a 10 ml bottle for each that I refill to use on the go.

My Vape shop suggested that I keep my juices in the fridge to preserve flavor. Hasn't caused any negative affects although as noted above it does tend to make the juice a bit thicker until it warms up a bit.

I was just looking for info. on this as my juice seems to loose flavor within a week or so. but that could also have to do the fact they where not mixed in house where i got them.

Let me start off by saying I'm new to this awesome world of vaping. I've been keeping my juices in the fridge for a little more than three weeks and find that the flavor hasn't changed since day one. So far so good.

Lets see now.

nic base stockpilebackup > Freezer
VG base gallon supply > Main Fridge
VG, nic base, PG used for mixing > lab fridge
Opened Extracts for mixing > lab fridge
Unopened Extract inventory > DIY supplies dry storage.

Bottled Juice for immediate use > VapeStation
Large bottled mixed juice in stock > lab juice cabinet

Some juices do not age well. I keep them in the fridge.

 

[KitchenSoap]

I don't keep any of my juices in the fridge. Then again, I go through my bottles fairly quick.

I am so happy for you! Ex-smoker for over a year, that is awesome, I can't wait to be there myself.

Now this is just from what I've researched. There doesn't seem to be a definitive view on whether you should store in a coll dark place, fridge, or freezer. BUT, for flavoured juice, the fridge or freezer is not recommended. There was a thread on ECF where they some users found flavoured juice "unvapeable" after storing in the fridge or freezer for an extended period. For unflavoured, it seems to be OK.

Sorry I don't have the link to the thread.

To add to the confusion, keeping the liquid in the fridge or freezer (for long term storage), is exactly how Grant (as in Grant's Vanilla Custard) recommends you store GVC. That's how I store it, in the fridge, and no issues vaping it.

Interesting, I'm going to experiment with this in regards to some of my DIY flavors. Make two bottles, throw one in the fridge and check back in a month to see how they compare.

 

[Colleen3429]

After steeping, all of my juice goes in the fridge.

 

[CMD-Ky]

I do as Colleen, steep then refrigerate.

 

[bpopken]

I wonder if someday people will make juices that are intentionally like wine and have to be aged.

well the only juices that get a chance to age are the crap ones I don't vape, still have some premixed partials I haven't pif yet. lol.

Think the main reason for storing in dark places, is that sunlight can promote oxidation of juice and darken it. I keep my main stash in 250-500 ml bottles, basically the empty VG, PG, and Nic Base bottles of product used. I then pour each flavor into a 50 ml bottle, which I keep in my vapestation for daily tank top offs, and for dripping.

The smallest batch I make now is 100 ml, and my House Specialty Juices, I'll mix at 200-400 ml batches. That way I can go a couple months between mixing. When ever I get a new rba, I try to develop a new recipe just for it. So far have 5-6 ADV's and a few flavors of the month also. I keep everything but mixing supplies and backup at room temp, but in the dark. lol. Works for me.
