repackaging

[potholerepairman]

In the process of getting a big amount of e-liquid and most all of it is coming in plastic bottles.My idea is to put it in different size glass brown bottles for storage.Would having the dropper in the glass bottle cause any problems for a year or so storage, or should I go with standard capped bottles only?
Would you repack already packaged plastic bottles into glass ones?

Most post here say to keep the bottles as full as possible, out of light, and at a constant temerature.I wonder if anyone has kept long term glass bottles at a kinda hot (80 degree) temp for any length of time with good results.Thanks for any idea, I am trying to get enough to have no excuse to even think of smoking one analog all of next year.

I can't say with any certainty but a while back there was a long (and somewhat contentious) thread on storing juice in a fridge. At least one person on that thread noted that some of the problem juices were ones with rubber stoppers. It got my attention. I keep all the JC and TW droppers off in storage. I have all my long term stuff in 125ml Boston amber glass filled to the very top, and stored in a cool, dry and dark area. It doesn't get up to 80 and seldom to 70. Much of it was bought in plastic bottles.

I don't know if the same applies to juice but I know wine is best stored at @57 degrees but if you can't do that, then the next best thing is to not have great variations in temp. If a wine goes from 55 to 70 over a period of months it doesn't hurt it much but if it happens within days, then you'll likely have some problems. This is why I wouldn't put juice in a fridge where I'd be accessing it, taking it out, putting it back in, etc. But that's just my take and have no real experience with it. I'll get back to you in two years on the cool, dark, dry storage

thanks ,Kent .yeah I know its not normal but my house is 80 degrees year round and still drink the beer stored here with no problems.Its not like i'm a grandmother with a sweater on its just how most people live here with the higher temp in the house so it feels nice when you leave the house.Haven't had the heat on this year and its 79 degree right now in the house so storage is a concern for sure.

I figured as much and like I say if you find a place that is more constant and less vulnerable to changes you should be good. The actual temp range that dow chem gives is greater than 80 degrees... without pulling up that sheet, but you can do a search for it - dow and propylene glycol.
