So what is it in juice that results in a one year expiration date? Is it that the flavorings just lose their flavor? Can juice be frozen the same way PG, VG and nic mixes can be? Goes without saying (but she's saying it anyway - hehhehheh!) that I'm curious as to whether I could stockpile juice ...

After reading this, and since I may be turning into a mostly-VG vaper, I ordered 2 gallons from ED, $50 (for 2) with free shipping. ED's price on VG is lower than it was the last time I checked a few months ago. http://www.essentialdepot.com/category/glycerin-components.html

Bells, please don't quit using PG based on some poorly done studies. The formaldehyde doesn't really show up unless you are flying you juice. Nine of us do that. The moment it starts getting even the least bit harsh I turn down the wattage. I believe based on your past posts you do to. Before giving up on something that you seem to like wait a bit for the common sense studies to come out, there have been a few already.

Well I discovered both my Lemo's still leak a little if on their sides. It seems the evap chamber fills with juice and if you don't pick it up and take a vape immediately the juice will run into the cup in the bottom. They aren't leaking really bad but it is still annoying after never having any attys that leak. They are a great vape an have got the leaking down to a minimum and try to remember to set them upright. They are way better then the KFL clone but still have some problems. I am thinking of trying an Oring below the air control nut since that is where they leak from.

Nothing that I know of and as far as freezing I have never tried it but would be interested if anybody else has.

To be honest, if it leaks, I ain't using it! Too many great devices out there to put up with leaking.

There is a pretty good thing on the FAQ's at TFA about storing flavor. Don't freeze it says but cool dry place unopend severeal times. Transfer some to smaller bottles to use so you don't have to open the big one very often. In this case supposedly air is your enemy. I buy a lot of the 4oz bottles at TFA.

Oh no. That's horrible. Hope it can be fixed. That's one reason I stick with what I have, I'd kill something before I ever got a hit off of it. Mine's very forgiving, knows it's dealing with a complete idiot and protects itself.

I heard from Hana this morning. They'll repair the DNA 30 for 80.00, or upgrade it to DNA40 for 99.00. The only thing I would be interested in in the DNA 40 is the reverse battery protection. I have zero interest in temp control, nickel wire or any of that. So anyone with the DNA 40, can all that be ignored & just use it like a DNA 30?

Greed greed
On the daily show they showed how no representatives from the USA went to that march in France after people were killed , yet nearly all top people from the white house including the president went to Saudi Arabia when a king there died recently.

Yep, and Secretary of State, John Kerry made a lame trip to France with James Taylor & had a Press Conference wher Mr. Taylor sang "You've Got A Friend" to the French people. It's disgusting.

2legs whats a good % for the tfa ripe banana ? Ive seen one suggestion of 0.5% and some recipes saying its strong and needs time to mellow out. Another one has a suggestion of 8 -12 %.

I have stored pre-made joose in the freezer with no problem. Of course it does not actually freeze. In fact, I have some nearly-2-year-old pre-made joose that's been through the gamut and is still good. (Well, actually, it wasn't that good to begin with, which is the reason I still have some of it.)

But anyway, those same three 60 ml bottles of juice have spent months in a working freezer; months in the refrigerator; months in a turned-off refrigerator in a house with no heat, no a/c and no electricity; months in a broken freezer that was above 32 degrees; and months on an open bookshelf in my living room. The juice is still as good as it ever was... actually, all that steeping has made it better. The bottles are plastic and they aren't even full.

2legs has more experience, but TFA ripe banana is a super strong flavor and a tank cracker. I would keep it very low. 8-12% would probably eat your lungs!

Good morning, Bells. Third and final update on TVG's claim to have US-made (not "mixed") organic nic. I emailed both TVG and SpinFuel, TVG twice and SpinFuel, once. Neither ever responded. (I was going to say something snarky, but thought better of it :)) I also called TVG; they were unable to provide anything of value. Perhaps they thought I was trolling? I don't know. Anyway, my bubble was burst! I want to be able to trust the vaping community -- that naive thing, again -- but, in this case, clearly I can't. If ever anyone provides the courtesy of a reply, I'll let you know.

Good morning, Porchers!

G'mornin', LB. I likewise never received a response from USA Liquid Nicotine. Obfuscation is the order of the day.

They are all probably being bombarded by Anti-vaping Spin Master's. So now even legit vapers can't get qiestions answered.

Is that freezer self-defrosting? I know where to get a similar freezer that's NOT self-defrosting for about the same price you paid last year, but shipping from Chicago is additional. (Free shipping in the Chicago metro area.) The website is abt.com

I bought my new refrigerator/freezer from them. They shipped free, since it was a fairly high-dollar item, and gave me the same discount price that was offered by Home Depot, but Home Depot would have charged me state sales tax.
not self defrosting... I go in every month and chip the ice off the inside roof.

I heard from Hana this morning. They'll repair the DNA 30 for 80.00, or upgrade it to DNA40 for 99.00. The only thing I would be interested in in the DNA 40 is the reverse battery protection. I have zero interest in temp control, nickel wire or any of that. So anyone with the DNA 40, can all that be ignored & just use it like a DNA 30?

I don't have a DNA anything, but I understand you can set it the way you want... Vv, vw, or temp.
Someone please jump in if I'm wrong!

Yes, I just got it in mid December. It's my first mod that can change out batteries. I know how I did it. I had the mod in one hand & the battery in the other & it was too clumsy that way, so I swapped hands & that made the battery backwards from the mod. Pop! $#%^&&!!! I knew at once what I's done & that it was going to be expensive. So Vapageddon is just gonna have to wait.

That is a novel concept, waiting to see what it tastes like before naming it. Hope you'll share that idea with joose-retailers!
