Long term storage for those who like things FOOB

[TX Foilhead]

So I've seen some different peoples thoughts on what they like and what didn't work for folks as well as some different ideas about how to use the BOGO coupon.

I think I've tried just about everything that I think I will like by adding 30ml bottles to my regular and based on that I've ruled out a few that most likely aren't my thing. I realize that there are some White Label things that won't be available when I use my coupon so won't be able to stock up with a lifetime supply of anything.

Hers rat the question for the masses. I like Virus FOOB and it will be the majority of the order, unlike Superman I can't crack open that fresh 15ml bottle or just take a sample off the mixing tank every time I need a refill. Has anyone found a way to store things that keeps them from steeping? So far my method has just been to order a 60ml bottle every 2 weeks and I tend to mix some other things into each tank once I get to half a bottle to stretch it out until the new bottle gets here. In the 3months I've been #infected, I've never had an unopened bottle stay that way for a week so no experience with how they steep as they get older when they are unopened.

My my thinking is if I take off the plastic, but don't open the lid I can re-seal it with some marine grade heat shrink that's glue lined to keep all air out and then put it in the freezer. Wouldn't be hard to color code this system so that when my stock pile grows large enough nothing will fall through the cracks and get past the expiration date. (OK that's a dream a month or 2 supply would probably be more likely)

Anybody have any any experience with this?

Clark has said not to freeze the juice. I would just stick them in the fridge.

(Though that may be wrong too...so I'm not sure...???)

 

[TX Foilhead]

I hope that's not the case, using the fridge will require a battle with the Chef, the extra freezer has fewer restrictions about what it can be used for.

 

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

Contact the folks at NT and ask them. You'd get their answer at least to add to the wondering pile!

Personally I won't risk it but if you are willing to risk your juice you could try to freeze it?

i find the aging process is reduced since he switched over to the glass bottles...so technically the old time frame i used is no longer applicable for me....2 months down the road the stuff is still light as can be and as fresh as can be, where the old ldpe bottles would have aged them to where i like...but like Megs says probably fridge it

 

[TX Foilhead]

I will make the call, just didn't want interrupt someone's weekend even though I'm pretty sure he would answer. I figure from the different dates on the bottles I've had and the consistency of things (I've only had glass bottles) that they have a very good idea of how the process happens, but I don't want waste a lot of his time with a bunch of questions. He's got better things to do like creating the next plague or blueberry coffee cake (Blueberry GCD) and some other things we probably haven't thought of.

One thing you will learn about Clark is that he loves to talk to people...hes very engaged...give him a buzz, if hes not tied up he will field your call and chat with you for sure

Refrigerate your liquid at about 50 degrees or so - buy a nice little dorm fridge

This is TRUE - the liquid stays fresher, longer, in Amber Glass - that's a big reason why we switched.

On the live chat 'wotsit' the other day, it was absolutely brilliant to be able to ask you a few odd questions that I may never have got around to otherwise ...and one of them was just this same question.

I did think of keeping it in a cupboard in the garage, but looking at the price of a small table top fridge, it's looking like a good idea! I can get one around 16" square, and I'm pretty sure it'll hold a years worth of liquid for one person! ...After all, there is a limit as to how much one person can use in a year ...isn't there?

Get a wine fridge those usually stay at 45-50 degrees dual purpose

There won't be room for no wine!

...anyway, we like red, so don't usually keep it too cold - even if I only drink perhaps a dozen glasses max in a year!

 

[Johnny101]

I keep other alcohol in mine I think there's only two bottles of wine in it

Or if you live in Canada you could store them on the porch all summer.

 

[TX Foilhead]

Too many people here think a like, found the wine fridge while searching for dorm models. I'm leaning twords the wine fridge, or possibly a small 2 door with a freezer so I can also stock up on 100mg nic as well.

Don't freeze your juice. It messes with the flavoring. The Nic, PG and VG are all good with freezing, but the flavor portion does not play well with freezing.
Leave the juice in glass, keep the O2 out and don't agitate it to minimize the aging process...I recently (2 days ago) dug up a bottle of DIY that I had not touched in 7 months. It's in glass, sealed against O2, 72 degree's ambient temp and didn't move for 7 months. It steeped/aged/brewed, whatever you want to call it, but it did not remain fresh as the day it was mixed.

And you don't have to worry about the juice expiration date. I have vaped some juice from a year ago and it didn't hurt me...it was really rich, but it was still just fine.

Wait a minute, now..you can ALWAYS make room for wine...

This is VERY true! I was transferring a couple 60 ml bottles of Frenilla (Mmmmmm Frenilla) into some of the old NT squeeze bottles and I noticed when I cracked the lid and began to pour that 3 month bottle of liquid goodness it was just as clear as a brand new bottle! It looks like in those months it didn't age a bit!

I say keep it in the glass and just keep it an a drawer. Thats where I keep mine.
