I don't quite understand the people in the Stockpiling thread saying they have enough nicotine to last them 20-30 years or those who have purchased several liters of it. That nicotine won't even be any good in 10 years will it? Nude Nicotine says 2 year shelf life on their extended life line of products.
Nicotine for 20-30 years?

Store it in freezer
They are saying 2 years, if stored in a freezer. This is what their website says ...
"Nude Armor nicotine base uses our same tried-and-true formulation for our standard nicotine base. However, Nude Armor is packaged and sealed for long term storage. We rate the shelf-life of this nicotine base to be upwards of two years without degradation or oxidation. All you need to provide is a freezer (~ -20C) for storage!"

Just like most of the consumable products, manufacturers put an expiration date not because when the expiration date arrives the product immediately becomes unusable, but instead to give a date past which they will not guarantee its freshness/quality. Just like your milk is probably still good the day after it expires, the same can be said for nic.
The main enemies are oxygen and light, devoid of those it will last a VERY long time, i can't find the thread, but *EDIT* its Kurt (not KentC) has nic that has been in his freezer for well over 5 years and has not degraded in any noticeable way.

Welcome to ECF!
I've been buying Nude Nicotine Armor v2 since around Sept 2015. I add at least 500ml to my freezer collection every month. If they have a sale on Memorial Day, I plan to ramp it up to a two liter plus purchase.

Somebody who posts on this forum says he has nicotine that's been in the freezer for 6 years and it seems just as good as when he put it in there six years ago.
My question/thought would be the expiration date or shelf life's correlation to the plastic bottle's life, minor chemicals leeching from the plastic, nothing to ruin the nicotine but in the longer term of storage..

DO NOT buy nicotine stored in plastic. Buy nicotine in lab amber glass, preserved with an argon filler, having a special top accessible with simple syringes that keep oxygen out.
the storage life of nicotine kept in the freezer is much longer than 2 years ... I know, because I am vaping it right now.
Test time is Difficult on relatively NEW Product Packaging.
20-30yrs, maybe in Cryo-freeze
My nic is in a -10f freezer. Should be good for at least 10yrs., if not I'll have some great pesticide.
I'll be 6ft under in 20yrs (or before). Better safe than sorry.....

yep, I am vaping some right now that I bought back in May 2012. So that tells me that it is still as good as new for at least 4 years. How I store my Nicotine
I believe one of our resident chemists (Kurt) is the one with 6-year old nicotine.
Fresh as the day he bought it is how I remember hearing it.
But you have to do it right...
Long-term storage of e-liquid

Folks around here been stockpiling nicotine since the first FDA scare back in 2009. If stored properly it will last much longer than 2 years.
The way I look at it, even if it does degrade slowly in the freezer, will I even notice? Kind of like an involuntary slow taper... 
Purely a Personal Position. Term life would dictate less chance of AIR migration using Glass over industry heavy HDPE Bottles, though Leeching in Freezer storage would also be minimized, due to molecular slow down and Product Safety Standards.
Plastic Bottles: Are They Safe & What Do The Numbers Mean?
I am not saying All your supply can or should go plastic, however your Front end - short term product(1-5yrs minimum) Should not be adversely effected by unopened Plastic container storage.
Yes, I am your Guinea Pig
hmmm well there may be a good thing about it degrading from 100 nic to a lower nic ... you wont have to ad VG to it to reduce its potency
Awesome. Thanks for the responses everyone. You've convinced me to buy more than a 2-3 year supply of nicotine.
I applied for and rcvd a credit card for nicotine purchases today. The next Nude Nicotine Armor v2 sale, I'm going to max it out.
Currently using 100 mg nic. Been in freezer since Feb 2011. No difference in taste or visual. B.K.
