Does anyone know if there is something like a can cozy, only for a one gallon jug of nicotine. I'm wanting to wrap the jug in black, kinda like putting it in a wetsuit, to block all light. While in the freezer, being as the freezer does get opened.

Maybe I'm over thinking it.

    That should be in a freezer anyway.

    I put all of mine in amber glass bottles. I wouldn’t store a gallon myself since you’ll need to pull from it time to time and that would expose all of it to oxygen. My opinion is break it down one time into smaller bottles so the whole thing isn’t exposed repeatedly. Thats what I do anyway.

    That’s what I do also.

    Right, it is, and inside a paper grocery bag. I just want to be over cautious regarding light.

    If it’s in a freezer then no need to be over cautious.

    All my nic is in 120ml amber Boston round glass bottles - in 2 different freezers/2 locations - no wrapping on the bottles, no need for it.

    Still have 5-6 bottles from 2015. Opened one from 2015 not long ago, the nic was still very clear and zero off taste whatsoever.

    Also would not store nic in a gallon container - one drop, it's going to break, and that would be a massive spill to cleanup, especially with all your dogs. If plastic, that is no good, or proper, for long-term nicotine storage (per several older ECF threads).

    That makes sense, and I agree. I have two gallons of Nic. One I put in the freezer as it come, the other I plan to break down into 16oz bottles. I'll freeze all of those but one 16oz bottle as necessary.

    Alright. What you say makes total sense, even though my nic is in the big freezers in my shop. What you say STILL makes sense, for the sake...if it gets dropped or breaks in the freezer, it's ALL roasted.

    Yes, you should get it all into glass bottles.

    I will order more Boston bottles and do that!!

    Just a thought...... :) ......I would suggest going with smaller bottles than 16oz/470ml. Why? For the same reason I noted with the gallon jug, safety.

    All my remaining nicotine is in 120ml bottles. At one time I had a few 240ml/8oz glass bottles, thought those were just too big. Decided to go with all 120ml for the simple reason that if I dropped one, it would be less wasted, and way easier to cleanup.

    I was thinking about our animals safety. 3 German Shepherds (was 4 till last Nov) and 4 cats. The GSD's I command to lay/stay in another room while I have my nic out, and they will not move until I release them.

    The cats, well ummm, they don't pay any mind to the commands of us mere mortals. :lol: :lol:
