Hey all.
OK, so maybe the sky IS really starting to fall. If you happened to read some of my posts in other threads you know that I'm recently starting to stock up on nic-base. This was even before the recent ?rumor? about the FDA internet ban.
I haven't worried about it much until lately. Something about BT getting into the expensive carto refill game everywhere just set my spidey sense off. And now this FDA thing (predicted for years, but not confirmed/rumored until now.) Anyway...
I'm short on glass bottles. The juice I've ordered is in plastic. I order 120 ml at a time of 100 mg. Blue plastic bottles from Stormy's... this last time. I do have a 250 ml brown glass bottle from another vendor (M.F.S) that I mix in...I pour the 100 mg into it and top it off with an equal amount of PG so I "store" my nic base of 50 mg strength in a 250 ml bottle.
That's fine for one-at-a-time mixing like I've been doing over the years. But now I'm looking at long term storage options for larger quantities. I have one 120 ml 100 mg blue bottle in the freezer wrapped in a freezer bag. IDK if it will hold up well...
Searching other threads shows that people like the brown glass bottles and freezing the nic for long term storage.
Do you purchase all your nic in brown glass? Do you buy empty brown glass and x-fer it? Maybe I shouldn't worry about it?
I have a year's supply right now. But if the "deeming regulation" actually hits, despite our efforts, I would like more nic base in storage. I know many have researched this. I found this post/thread to be very helpful:

I'm sooooo torqued off that I may have to spend $$$$$$$$ on expensive glass bottles because the FDA has it's head up it's posterior.
So my current assumptions are:
1) I need to use a vendor that provides brown glass bottles -or-
2) buy empty brown glass bottles and x-fer what I have -or-
3) risk it.
OTOH some people in that same thread and other threads have said they have 3 year old juice and it's fine (but didn't say what bottle).
Do I risk it and just store the blue plastic bottle in a freezer bag wrapped in a paper bag in the freezer?

Bump!
I also read that the bottles should be sterilized so I'll be dunking them in boiling water first.
