Sorry for not giving a more definitive answer. I did that deliberately so as not to derail the discussion with guns. The very nature of your question suggests you don't know much if anything about firearm ownership. I see your located in Canada, so I'll take the high road and give you the respect of honest, straight answers. If you're trolling then whatever.

No I'm not trolling, thanks for your reply.
I am Canadian, we have plenty of rifles and shotguns.
Cheers!

This is great to hear, 5 years! I've heard nic can be stored in the freezer for extended period, but never knew exactly how long "extended" meant! We know now a minimum of 5 years! cool!!!
Wonder if it was VG or PG?

As bad as I hate to have my nic in VG I've had MFS VG based nic in a deep freezer for about 4 years and it's still good as the first day. It has been in 120ml amber Boston rounds with poly seal caps since I received it, I'm sure this has something to do with why it's still fresh.

The forum consensus seems to be indefinitely. My hunch is over even longer periods the potency might decrease slightly. Amber glass bottles stored in the freezer is the norm. Not a bad idea to put in a zip lock bag wrapped in bubble wrap. The major threat to nic is dropping the bottle.
I just kept the box my Boston rounds came in and put them back in that, it has the dividers for each bottle.

I'm generally a glass half full guy .. chilling Post, though (actually disturbing) .. wearing the old Tin Foil hat, are you .. ??
Chemtrails are likely real. They are for determining how a chemical/biological threat would spread (AFAIK). They spray the aerosols and have detectors for whatever is in the aerosols all over to gauge where and in what concentration these chemicals go. Not as nefarious as it seems really.

I feel bad for the vape shop employees that are suddenly out of a job and the vape shop owners that are suddenly out of business. No business can survive being shut down for four months, especially during the holiday season.
Ya this royally sux. They find a location, sign a lease, get all the inventory, signs, set up counters, shelves, fridges, etc, and do lotsa improvements. If they had enough money to hire lawyers they could sue governments coz an overarching, complete & utter ban doesn't seem legal, and could be deemed overstepping their bounds.
A vape shop with few payables and enough money to pay the rent for 4 months can lay off employees, lock the door, and sit tight.
&/or also start selling other/different convenience products, snacks, lottery tickets, etc.
The shop customers are online looking for out of state online retailers.
Ya that's a good idea.

It sucks that only vapers know the REAL TRUTH!!

I keep my padded bottles in the freezer door shelf. Above that shelf is a smaller one. When it's time to open a long term bottle I shake several times over several days then divide the contents in to 4x250 ml bottles for mixing. The smaller bottles lay sideways on the upper shelf in bubble wrap then in to zip lock bags. My hope with the sealed bags is, if a bottle breaks, I might be able to salvage most of the liquid from the bag.

My nic is packed in 125 and 250 ml bottles, double zip lock bagged, padded and boxed to keep bottles protected and upright. If an accident occurs,pretty sure I could salvage most of the nic as the glass would settle out, and the double bags should contain the contents.

This is what Heartland Vapes said when I asked him about the shelf life of 100mg nic and which was longer VG or PG:
Honestly – as long as you keep them out of direct sunlight and heat, maybe even in the freezer they have a pretty much indefinite shelf life. We have to put an expiration date on them (or a manufactured on date) due to FDA regulations and batch tracking – but they really wouldn’t expire.

The PG is a preservative, so if I had to guess I would say the PG has a longer shelf life – but really I don’t think that’s accurate. Does that make sense or help at all? lol
This falls in line with what quite a few other members have said in other threads on the forum.

I have 11.5 1L 100mg bottles, 7.5 are VG and 4 are PG... saving the PG for last.

Years ago, ECF's then resident Chemist believed that nic in VG would store better than nic in PG, primarily due to VG's higher viscosity, which would slow down interactions between the nic and any oxygen present in the bottle. I have some of both and haven't seen a noticeable difference.
