Nic handling/storing 101

[DaveP]

Even though you feel you might not need a second liter, there can be accidents with the stuff you keep (folks do occasionally drop things, and if it's a glass bottle it will likely break). If you do lose some of your initial liter to some event, having the second gives you a buffer to replace that loss. Obviously do whatever you're most comfortable with, but I wouldn't use the probability of never getting to the second liter as reason enough to sell/donate it.

Dang FDA! If I thought I could buy more down the road I'd just buy it by the 500ml bottle and replace as needed. It's in the original HDPE plastic bottle. I understand glass is better, but subject to accidental breakage.

I have managed to slop 100mg all over myself and with a quick rinse, no effects what so ever noted. I also puposely inhaled the vapor from 100mg both to get a sense of it's odor but also for experimentaton. I noted no effects what so ever from this. I wear glasses in the lab so that is covered and if you feel the need, wear some rubber gloves but really, 100mg/ml Nic. is a lot less dangerous than say Drano or oven cleaner.

Storing nic at 100mg takes up 1/4 the space it would take to store it at 24mg ml. Store it in several smaller glass bottles at 100mg and dilute that down when you need it and take it out of the freezer.

So, what are the real hazards I should worry about? I know I should have a ventilated area, gloves, clothes that protect my skin, and a sink to wash it off if it gets on my skin. Kitchens aren't a good place since a counter top spill could cause serious contamination.

Ventilated are needed only if you open 1 L bottle after it was delivered on a hot day. Vapor can be really nasty under a cap. I do know, I felt it when I opened such a bottle on my deck (isn't a deck is a nicely ventilated area?)
With smaller bottles, or bottles out of a freezer, ventilated area is an optional thing (glove are also optional).
Counter top spill is very easy to clean. Wipe, wash with dump paper towel, wipe, repeat (up to ... times, depending on your attitude (for me 1 time is enough)). 100 mg nic in either VG or PG is water soluble and cleans easily. The only dangerous (tough to remove spills) are on carpet or upholstery.
I keep a 60 ml bottle with 100 mg nic in a deck of my desk, do my DIY on the desk. No sink, no gloves, but no carpet in the room and I wear glasses anyway. But for beginning, or for those who are a bit afraid of 100 mg nic, I would recommend a counter top next to a sink. The easiest place to clean a spill.

Hi all,
Waiting for my 120ml heartland nic to arrive and need assistance from expert DIYers.
Once my nic is arrived I'm thinking to separate around 10ml to glass bottle and put my 110ml on the Freezer.

Now for the 10ml I'm thinking to store it at my fridge. Then take it out when I want to make DIY Juice. My question is do I need to sit the bottle until it reach room temperature or can I use it right away then put it back straight away to the fridge?

Some local nic vendor say the nic doesn't need to put on the fridge and can last for a year, but I think I will store it on the fridge for longevity sake since I don't mix very often.

Should I shake well the bottle before use?
