No the numbers I listed are for the freezing point/melting point: the temperature at which the liquid turns to "ice" as it gets colder, or where the "ice" melts to liquid if the temperature rises. It's the same point. same temperature. Alternately the boiling point is much, much higher than these, like in the several hundred degrees range from what I recall.

The last point I was trying to get across, is before you stick your juice in the freezer, what is the VG content? If it's 100% I think it actually WILL freeze solid on you, and that might not be ok. Then again it might be, I really don't know.

It is boba's bounty, so the e-liquid will freeze according to your research and I have know idea if this is good for your juice or not. I appreciate all you have done and maybe some one else could chime in and give us a heads-up and see if freezing VG solid is recommended.

Thanks again CarbonThief ;)

Happy to try, and not really, help!

FYI, you can try putting a small amount in a bottle or whatever, freeze for a day or so, then let it thaw and come to room temperature, vape it and ascertain for yourself what the result is. This is what I would do, as you've had this thread open a long time, and haven't had much help this far.

Just my 2 cents.

Well I emailed Ave, here is what I said.

I was just curious as to what would be the best method to store AVE boba's bounty ejuice while slowing down the steeping process to the max. Other words I do not want it two step as much as I can help it for long periods of time.
What would be the best method to store your e-liquid while slowing down the steeping process or to not steep at all, while losing little to no flavor at all?

Would a fridge or freezer be the way to go or would that kill the flavor?

I have been hearing mixed opinions on this matter on ECF so I figured I would ask the people that made it first hand. If someone could get back to me with these issues it would be greatly appreciated... Thanks


and this was their reply

You are in luck! The only real issue you need to worry about with unflavored nicotine is the nicotine life (which is long) and temp. You want to keep the liquid at a temp that won't promote growth of any kind. Below 40 degrees F will do the trick, most refrigerators can easily accommodate that. PG and VG as bases are antibacterial and antiviral (antibiotic but not in the sense we use) and hospitals have been infusing ICU wards with 20 to 30% saturation in the atmosphere for ages to eliminate post-surgical infections and spread of nearby diseases. For unflavored e-liquid I put storage up to 2 years, kept in a fridge, in the dark.

Storage of flavored liquids though I would not keep for more than a year. Each flavoring is different but some use natural and organic certified bases and mixes. These mixtures are prone to spoiling after a year and a half, though 1 year is a good "safe zone" for storage. As always keep in a cool and dark environment (treat it like wine or eggs never more or less severe)

I hope this helps!

Best wishes,
