I was experimenting with DIY and have some juices that I buy that I love so haven't made any in awhile. my question is how long is my nic juice good for.....had it almost a year......should I refrigerate it ? So many questions!!!! Does it ever go bad, or should I hurry nd mix up. bunch of batches with flavors and store them?

Its best storing nic with nothing in it. as for the mixed, it good for a yr or two depending how you store it. I prefer using the mixed within 6 mo. Hope that helps.
You should store flavorless liquid in glass bottles in your freezer.It should last two years +
No it won't shatter unless its water because water expands when it freezes, but most other substances don't. I doubt your freezer is cold enough to freeze it anyway, I would expect it to just gel up.
At ordinary home refrigerator freezer temperatures, 100% VG 48mg N-juice is still pourable, about the viscosity of corn syrup. But it definitely does not freeze at these temperatures. This is for WL N-Juice. I believe RTS is a slightly thicker but I think it would also still be pourable. I've read that PG and VG (as well as alcohol) have been used as antifreeze and maybe still are for some applications. VG is hygroscopic and contains at least some water if it is exposed to air. It would be interesting to see if it expands or contracts when it freezes but you would have to get it very very cold to find out. Dry ice would probably do the trick if anyone is that curious.
You want to avoid light heat & air.
Emailed Wizard Labs, got back something along these lines.
If stored in small glass bottles with as little air space in the bottle as possible, stored in the freezer, it should last indefinitely.
This way, you only grab and expose one small bottles worth at a time to the air.
I put my 500mL into 15mL amber Boston rounds, filled up super close to the top, put in a locking cash box in my freezer.

That's good news Thompson. I have been planning to buy a fair amount of DIY e-liquid supplies in case things get ugly with the EU, and was worried that it would spoil eventually
It will hydrogen bond with water, but what causes water to expand is the crystalline structure of water when it freezes. I would think that the propylene glycol would mostly interrupt the formation of crystals.
