Nicotine stored in the refrigerator after 2 years ... is it still good?

[mateador]

Hello, I am from Argentina and I wanted to consult you ... I have had nicotine stored in the refrigerator for a long time and I wanted to know if it still works to make my liquids. Some time ago I stopped vaping but I have started smoking again ... this makes me sick and I decided to go back to vaping.
That is why I have the nic stored there for it to be preserved but I have doubts if it is still good to use and use it in the liquids that I am macerating now?

Hi mateador. Welcome to the ECF.

As Izan said, it is probably OK. If it was Flavored e-Liquid, the Flavor might be a little off. But it probably Shouldn't be Terrible.

Was it stored in a Glass Bottle?

If it is not dark colored, just a pale yellow, it should be fine. To make sure it's taste isn't too strong, I would recommend making a small first batch of liquid to see if it tastes OK for you. Good luck!

I thought I would do the same. I kept it in a dark glass jar. I looked at it today and it's yellow

I've had mixed nicotine base stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months and was as fresh as the day I made it. BUT unmixed nicotine lets say 100mg/ml not already mixed into a base should be stored in the freezer. I've got nicotine that's 7 - 8 years old in the freezer that's as fresh as the day I froze it. My advice is if its yellow or slightly amber mix a small amount of your favorite vape and try it. If it's to your liking then you should be OK.

If it's dark amber to brown toss it and buy fresh.

If you buy fresh nicotine re-package it in small amber bottles (120mls) and freeze them. This allows you to use/expose to air and light, small amounts at a time while preserving the bulk in deep freeze, away from air and light.
