How long do you need to wait after filling the carts up with juices.
I always wait at least 15-20 minutes to allow it to soak. I believe this helps performance and makes the cartos last longer. Other people vape it right away after filling. All about preference. Try both and see what works for you
I think I may be onto something? Could it be that E Liquid suppliers (who recommend refrigeration) are secretly involved in a conspiracy; hoodwinking customers into spoiling their products and ensuring an ever declining customer base?
Never mind… lol

We're going to remove that recommendation from our bottle labels, but it will take a while for the current labels to work their way out of the supply chain.
Refrigeration is advised for several reasons.
Im not a scientist so im using generic terms here. The reason why the generic phrase used of , keep in a cool, dark place is because the nicotine in our liquids loses its potency over time. Yes, it generally has a shelf life of 1 to 2 years if its stored properly. Leave your juice outside in the sun and heat and your 36MG juice will be 10 MG Juice in less than a week. Keeping your juice refrigerated slows this process.
Also, several juice companies use food grade products in our juices. Do you not refrigerate your foods? It only makes sense to do the same with your liquids. If your using your juice relatively quickly then this is not a concern for the majority of vapors.
I on the other hand have over 3000 ML of juice in my stock. It is in my best interest to preserve and protect this stock the best way i know how. For me the preferred method of storage is refrigeration.

To each their own. It also depends on what bottles you store you juice in. Glass bottles aren't permeable, so with the correct cap on, no additional moisture is going to get in. Plastic bottles ARE permeable to an extent, so by keeping them in the refrigerator, they ARE going to get additional moisture over time.
Also, unless you are going to do like Jebey, and get a small fridge that's dedicated to ONLY storing juice, imagine all the other stuff in your fridge that's going to get in your juice. Any refrigerator that's stored food in it for any amount of time has mold/bacteria particles that constantly move around due to the airflow, and get circulated by the interior fans. It's virtually impossible to remove all these by cleaning, and they'll get absorbed into your juice and cause it to go bad faster.
Look at a bottle of drinking water.. You'll notice an expiration date if you look in the right place.

Keep in cool place, no sunlight. Simple, ez
Steve
you do not need to keep in refrig
Simple ,EZ, is it?
Okay, and not meaning to sound facetious,
I'm not certain about yours, but mine, and the neighbors that I have now verified, refrigerators, are quite cool and believed to be considerably, and generally of not mostly, dark. Sunlight rarely rains upon the contents of said refrigerators, less the milk curdle and vegtables bemoan their stasis.
What I am hoping for here is a statement of proper and correct care of purchased product, buy the manufacturer and or supplier, rather than a myriad of statements in open press.
For example, Sun (post number 8 in this thread), is quite admant about losing over $400.00 in eliquid and supplies, because it was refrigerated. Within this one thread are many, many, inconclusive, non-specific, and sometimes contrary bits of information.
So what we need is a statement,
"...V4L eliquid and cartomizers are best when stored in their original packaging, away from sunlight, from nn - nn deg F, in nn% realitive humidity..."
I personally find a small lockable fridge to be an excellent singular location to store all my ecig supplies. Now if that is going to suddenly trash the near thousand dollar investment (bulk of which is V4L and I am happily vaping as I write this), I would sure like to know.
If it is simply moisture, a bag of dessicant in that small fridge will kill any of that worry. But really, Cool, Dark, and Dry - are hard to put in one location where air may flow, and in any case are not very specific terms.
So temperature range and realitive humidity specs, for PG, VG, based and or blended liquid and cartomizers, as well as the secretive WOW, is really needed.
Thanks for making it this far through my ramble.

If I only keep milk and diet coke in my fridge (New Yorker who lives on take-out), would my liquid start tasting like a combo of the two if I store in there? ;P
I have been 2 years into this now and honestly I keep everything in a dark box either under my bed or up high above the cabinets if I am away from home... (I have a 3, 7, and 9 year old so I tuck them away behind and out of sight). While I have noticed some liquids darken over a few months time, none have seemed to ever degrade in flavor or effectiveness from what I can tell. Of course I have to admit I dont usually keep a bottle I like for long and everything I dont use after a few months gets sold, traded or given away so I can't honstly speak for the beyond 4-6 month point....
I keep my juice in a fridge but it is a special fridge for just juice that I have set to 60f. It rarely kicks on but keeps my juice fairly cool and in a dark place. I got it on sale for 50 bucks at Wal-Mart. It sits right next to my computer and I love it.
That is ......ing awesome! Do you notice a definite flavor change going from room-temp to 60?
