PG and VG based NIC both freeze very well and will stay good 5 - 10 or more years. I have both PG and VG frozen for over 3 years and they are as crisp and clear as when they were first bought. Make sure you freeze in glass bottles. 120 ml's last me 3 - 6 months. I have 5 liters right now and I divided 2 liters into 16 120ml bottles and the 3 liters I have left in 1000ml glass bottles and this way I'm not freezing and thawing the same bottle every time I need to restock. I just take a 120ml bottle from the freezer and the rest stay unopen and frozen. When I get low I refill the 16 120ml bottles I already have.

I've got 3 liters of 100mg. I transfered two liters into 1 liter amber glass bottles with label and date and wrapped them in thin bubble wrap wrapped with tape or string. The third bottle is divided into 4 250 ml amber bottles. All in PG base. So far the evidence persuadws me that shelf life is indefinite in the freezer with PG or VG.

It's dirt cheap insuranc for what it buys. I've written this a couple of times but seems worth repeating. The tobacco in one cigarette has about 15 mg of nic but only 1 mg survives combustion so at $6 a pack you're paying 30 cents per cig, 30 cents per mg of nic that you actually inhale. A 1 liter bottle of 100 mg nic has 1,000 ml X 100 mg = 100,000 mg of nic, the same as 100,000 cigarettes, 5,000 packs. All of the nic in vapor is inhaled because there is no combustion. If the 1 liter bottle of nic was priced the same as the nic in cigarette smoke it's worth 30 cents X 100,000 = $30,000. Gold costs $1,000 per once. In cigarettes nic works out to $7,500 per ounce. An ounce of pure nic as liquid is costing $14 an ounce if you paid $50 for your 1 litter bottle of 100 mg, a common price. The cost difference is why tobacco is doomed. Feeling better is just a bonus.
