Keeping juice in car

[Saltydogg]

I keep an emergency supply of e juice in the glove box of my car. I keep about 15ml in a glass bottle and it has been fine because of the winter temps. Now that warm weather is around the corner I'm concerned that the hot temps inside the car will make the juice go bad. It can get quite hot here in Indiana during the summer months.
I don't want to have to worry about bringing the juice inside with me every time and I like knowing its always there in case I run out or have problems. Anyone have any suggestions or solutions for this or will the juice be ok for awhile in such hot temps?

I don't think juice is supposed to cold or to hot. Maybe search the forums for temps to avoid juice from getting to, hot and cold?

basically my answer is I don't know.

Not sure I would leave it in the car.. I know the heat will degrade, nicotine, but it might also affect flavors. I doubt it would be unsafe to vape, just not the same. If you have to leave it in the car the glove box or console storage sometimes the trunk, do tend to be the coolest places. You could leave the windows down. less heat build-up. Do go to the I have to lock my car BS.. I drive a jeep with NO doors or top and have NEVER had anything, of value, stolen from it.
Best option is to take the juice with you, put it wherever you would store your lunch and/or heavy coats and such.

Nope, don't do it. Telling you now, it'll "spoil" and get funky. I left a bottle of Cran-apple from the Vapor Chef in my car during the summer. Tried it out, and it was CRAZY harsh/perfumey, very weird tasting. Not how I left it.

I think cold weather is fine, as nicotine/VG/PG can be stored in cold temps, but warm weather (I think) will adversely affect the flavorings/nicotine. I don't think it'll be bad for you, but it won't be pleasant. Also with the expansion of the container/the top/liquid inside, I'd imagine leaking is more likely with a bottle in your car.

Depends why you want that emergency supply for?

I know when I smoked still, I use to keep an extra pack of cigarettes in the car in case of emergencies like if the car broke down or whatever and if I ran out, I could just go to the glove box and get them even if they were a bit stale. It was better then nothing and it did happen to me once and was thankful I had them.

Anyhow, if it's for a similiar reason, I don't see why something like a unflavored e-liquid especially with no nicotine couldn't work in a pinch to tide you over in certain situations, that is why I am asking for your definition of "emergency" lol but I really don't know if even that would work either since I never even tried unflavored. In theory I think it would be ok but I really don't know, just throwing out an idea.

All my juices are in a room temp. of around 80 degrees since I live in the tropics! The car gets much hotter of course so I don't leave juice in it but carry my gear in a small zipped case when I go out. never had any issue with juice spoiling or getting "funky" and I do try to use only glass bottles as plastic is known to leach at higher temps.
I don't think you should have any issue in your neck of the woods unless there is a heatwave Perhaps the main thing to bare in mind is to rotate your bottle in the car so it gets used up and replaced often.

I also use a small zippered case to carry my juice and batteries when I go to work.

Living in Texas, most of the year it is too warm to safely leave either of these in my truck.

I could not function without my pocketbook. I swear I don't see how guys do it. I will add that everything I have read recommends keeping nic in a cool dry place to extend shelf life so I imagine it is not a real good idea to keep it in the car.

I kept my juice in a box . Every time I open it, the mix fruity flavor is all around!!!

Nicotine does not sit well with high temperature, so I wouldn't recommend leaving it in hot car. But you already knew that, I just wanted to point that out more. =)
