Storage of my E liquid

[duckfan55]

Hey all, Im pretty new to the vaping world and I love it, one question I have is what is the best way to store all the different juices I have bought from the vape store? Ive gotten 3 or 4 different answers when I asked the guys at the store. Right now I have them in the fridge, I hope that's the best way to save there flavor or and improve there flavor..please let me know. Thanks from a newbie that loves vaping.

I keep mine in a dark place at room temp. I'm not sure but, the fridge might make the steeping process take even longer.

Plus the fridge has a tendency to make them thick and syrupy so it is harder to fill your tank when you need to. You have to let the juice warm up to room temperature.

I store mine in a small (relative size) cigar box with a lid on a shelf in my living room. It keeps them out-of-the-way, in a dark place, and my living room is always a lovely 70-73*.

I was always told that ejuice has a shelf life of about a year. If it's going to be sitting on my shelf longer than a year, I didn't need to buy it or need to trade it out.

Its not needed to keep them in the fridge. Some flavors even brake down in my experience if kept too cold.
My menthol flavor was nearly gone after being half frozen. (Accidentally)
Fresh liquids , keep in mind that store bought prob is 1-2 months already, easily keep for up to 1-2 years. Of course this assumes they are clean and not polluted.
Neither liquid or nicotine brakes down when exposed to air or requires refrigeration.
I have liquids made over a year ago and they still taste fine. Keep them in a dark place if you don't want them changing color.
(Especially VG reacts to light. )

Is it a big deal that the liquid changes color? I vape usually between 1.8-2.4 nicotine. I know the nicotine changes the amount of vapor produced. I keep my gear in the kitchen out of direct sunlight and it's always like 80° in my apartment. No air conditioning on Maui is a drag but it's too expensive.

Keeping it in a dark dry place is good, keeping it in the fridge can cause food odor transfer to your e juice.

I just keep mine in the top shelf of my entertainment center, its dark and room temp. a bottle rarely lasts more than a month with my wife vaping it.

Store in a box or drawer where they won't tip over and leak if the cap is not tight, above all keep them out of reach of kids and pets.

The diy shop by me keeps the bigger containers in the fridge and the smaller ones out. That is what I do I have a small fridge for my big juices. The smaller ones I keep in my tackle box. The big bottles of nicotine I keep in the freezer.

I keep mine in a black small toolbox so they don't fall over and stay out of the light. Many flavors will darken over time, but as long as they are not subjected to sunlight and heat, they will last. Sunlight and heat will degrade your nicotine and your flavors. I don't put them in the fridge, especially if you have vg in it. It will really get thick and hard to fill tanks if you are using those. I do put my nic base in the freezer in a full glass bottle, as air is not a friend of nicotine.

Hi Duckfan55, Do you have a nice sturdy dark colored shoe box? An athletic shoe box works great. Store your e liquids in this and put it in a closet cabinet,( not in the bathroom or kitchen these get too warm). The box also holds alot of juice and if one leaks it's easy to replace. Keep on Vaping on

Thanks guys

I agree with faeriekitsune. Don't keep them in the fridge or sun. Just keep them in normal room temperature (around 65-73 range). These liquids have a pretty long shelf life (1-2 years) before they start to go bad.

Keep mine in a storage tray on a shelf. Found a good way to keep sunlight and/TV light from getting in....put an empty TP roll around it.
