Storage for DIY liquids

[Darth Omerta]

So i am going to start DIY juices. I have done a bit before and i liked it alot. I have found a good place to order from and I will be placing a rather large order in the next day or two.

I plan on making some pretty basic flavors and recipes with high VG and 0 nic, i will have some nic on hand to make juices for my fiancee every now and then.

My question is; what is the best way to store:

4 Litres (approx 1 gallon)
-VG?
-PG?
Both with 0mg nicotine

100 mL of 50mg nicotine PG?

Flavor concentrates(various 30mL bottles)?

The reason i am ordering in such bulk is due to price, variety and few places in my general vacinity carry concentrates so i cant just go pick up a flavor i might need for a recipe.

Vg\pg in a cool dark closet along with flavors. Nicotine glass bottle in the freezer.

I have 1 gallon of each PG/VG and store them both in the refrigerator. The NIC I always store in the freezer in glass bottles. The PG/VG I leave in the plastic jugs.

Room at my place is somewhat limited. I can definitely store the nic in the freezer but im wondering if keeping the pg/vg in a VERY CLEAN cooler in the basement might be ok.

At the end of the day i will store my liquids in the best place possible but storage space can sometimes be problematic.

A cool dark place will also work well. The only reason I recommended the refrigerator is seeing how much PG/VG you have. 4 liters will last you a good long time and a refrigerator will extent the shelf life far beyond what room temperature storage will.

Great! My other option is an old beer cooler that i can set back up somwhere in the house, again space being the key issue there.

Manufacturers tested their VG after 2 year storage in original packing (not opened, stored at room temperature). It was as good as a new one. They never tested someting older than 2 years. At work I have many times opened bottle of glycerin which is at least 15 years old, stored just on a shelf. It looks, smells and feels (on hands) like new, but I would not try to vape it.

What do you recommend for flavoring storage?
Thanks

Store it the same way you would store PG/VG. Never freeze flavoring but the refrigerator or a dark cool closet or draw is OK.
