Ordering More Nicotine for Long Term Storage

[tony46113]

You can get 1 gallon of Essentials Depot PG and 1 Gallon of Essentials Depot VG for $43.49 (shipping included) on Amazon at the moment. Wish I would have known that last week when I bought a gallon of VG for $26 something shipped.

PG goes a long way for me though, so the liter I have will likely last 6 months.

Me too. My mixes tend to be 40/60 PG/VG or 30/70 PG/VG so a gallon of PG lasts forever! Most of the time I never have to add any as my nic is straight PG.

So I'm going to order another five 120ml bottles of 100mg Nude Armor V3 for long term storage. I know it's cheaper to buy a larger bottle, but I don't want to break the seal they use to split it up into smaller bottles for storage.

Thoughts on 100% PG? The last batch I bought was 50/50. Does it matter in terms of lifespan whether I go with 50/50 or 100% PG?

I started buying Nude Nicotine Armor v2 in small lots, then increased the size as I went on to 500ml. It's all sold in glass and topped off with Argon to reduce spoilage.

I've already started using the smaller bottles, and will use them for storage of nic when I get to breaking up the larger bottles of nic.

You can buy Argon spray online or at an upscale liquor store. When you transfer to the smaller bottles, just top it off with Argon and it will help with storage degradation.

The 500ml bottle of Armor v3 did not come in a glass bottle. Not exactly sure what it is, but it sure isn't glass. I would call it plastic, but I'm sure it's not your standard plastic bottle. Regardless, I split those bottles up into glass, because the special seal they use broke the day I got it.

Haven't received the 120's of v3 yet, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Yep... that's why I order v2 for long term storage.

I thought the purpose of the change was for storage purposes, but maybe I'm wrong. That's why I couldn't figure out why the v3 was not in a glass bottle. Oh well ... It has been split up into glass bottles now.

Is the argon spray you're talking about something like this? ...

There are several products on the market but I think that product will work. Looks good.

I don't know why v3 is not in a bottle either. In v2, I've got more than 2L of varying sizes below 500ml and have 1L made up of two bottles of 500ml. On the 4th of July, I'll be ordering eight or more 500ml v2. I'm hoping for a sale btw now and then.

For those that don't want to spend the extra bucks for the Armor argon gas bottles, they can bottle it themselfs and use this to add there own argon gas. for $10 you can do 100 bottles.

But for me I have 20 120ml bottles and 4, 1 liter bottles of which one of them is 200mg/ltr NIC. These bottles are filled to within a 1/4 inch from the top and have no argon gas added. My oldest bottles have been frozen for over 3 years and they are still like the day they were put in the freezer.

The argon gas may be over kill but for $10.00 for the spray I say what the hell just do it. I may just buy some myself
