Would it be ok to store 1-liter bottles of nic in the original bottles in the freezer from My Freedom Smokes?

I use MFS nic. I split it up into 240ml glass bottles (4 to the liter), put the bottles into freezer bags, and store it in the freezer. If you store it in the original bottles I'd recommend buying some heavy duty freezer grade zip lock bags to put the bottles in just in case one of the bottles cracks. Glass is better and there's no plastic to interact with the liquid over time.

The article below says that plastic isn't recommended for long term storage.

Does anything change when it comes to long-term storage? Can you keep e-liquid in the fridge or freezer?

The same basic rules apply, but storing your e-liquid long-term does bring with it some potential issues. Firstly, while plastic bottles are absolutely fine for shorter-term storage, they aren’t the ideal solution over the long-term (more than a couple of months): you should use glass bottles instead, at least until they are banned by the EU next year.

This is because the plastic can interact with the e-liquid, and – as explained a moment ago with reference to heat – any chemical changes will alter how your juice tastes. Additionally, although plastics prevent most things from passing through them, some air can get through (in fancier language, they’re “permeable” to some gases), and since air degrades e-liquid, this isn’t a good thing.

How much air can get through depends on the type of plastic – generally speaking, higher-quality plastics are less permeable to air – but glass is a way better approach for both removing the air permeability and minimizing any interactions with the container.

I've been researching and I'll be safer to break it down into 240 ml bottles with cone caps so I'll be looking around for the best price. I probably should have researched first before posting. I'm just wanting to stock up with several liters because who knows it might become unavailable at any time. Thanks for your reply.

GlassBottleOutlet.com carries many sizes of the Boston Round Glass bottles that a bunch of us have used for breaking down our nic base for freezer storage. They also sell many sizes of the phenolic caps with the polycone liner inside.

I've compared prices with 3-4 other vendors that people sometimes recommend, and GBO usually always has the best total price (bottle & cap price + S/H cost). People see Free S/H at some places, but don't notice that the total price they'll be paying per bottle...works out to actually be higher. So, "Free S/H" wasn't really free.

Thanks just ordered 8 bottles plus 3 caps to replace different style caps I had on 3 other bottles. I should be set up now to freeze 3 liters. That should last me a good number of years.

I would Recommend Glass Bottle Outlet also.

Get it from Amazon if you have prime. My (100% free shipping) of bottles were "Fulfilled by glass bottle outlet." Shipping rates there SUCK.

I ordered from GBO, It's been a couple of years since I vaped, went back to smoking because I tried to cut down on nic too fast and screwed up. So I'm kinda out of the loop on supplies. But I have things covered now. Right now I'm going through nic like it's free, but it'll slow down with time I'm in no hurry. It is what it is. I think VG & PG & flavor concentrate will continue to be around but nic might not or it might who knows so I've decided to stock up with as much as I can afford.

I think that is a Sound Idea.

 

[DaveP]

Nic is the main concern. PG and VG will be around and I don't see Lorann flavorings going away. Their main customer base is people who make cakes, candy, and other desserts. Ecig DIY juice flavorings are a spin off for them.

When I buy a liter of nic from MFS I include a 1 liter amber glass bottle if it's going to long term storage. The glass bottle is labeled with vendor, nic strength, the word nicotine and the invoice date. The bottle goes into a zip lock bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, then into another zip lock bag. When the bottle comes out of long term storage the contents are emptied into 2 250 ml bottles for mixing. Then each of those bottles is stored wrapped in bubble wrap and put in a zip lock bag. My nic fits on freezer door shelves. The one liter bottles are stored upright, the 250 ml bottles are stored lying sideways. After 4 1/2 years the oldest nic looks perfect and vapes fine.

Thanks for everyone's replies they have informative.

Current cold storage is 850 ml of 100 mg. Rough estimate at 8 mg. figuring 2.75 years maybe.
I'm not allowed to vape on the work site. Thinking best option now is purchasing Argon sealed Nicotine.
I always go "NUDE"!
