Storing Flavors

[schotzky]

Is it OK to keep my flavors in a small cardboard box. I have 20 in there right now. Will the flavors bleed through and leech into other flavors? Most of them are in glass vials, 5 of them are in plastic dropper bottles.

Personally, I'd move the stuff in the plastic bottle into glass bottles unless you are certain the plastic is PET. I'd also say it might be a good idea to keep them in the refrigerator to slow down any possible oxidation or other chemical changes that may occur with time. All that is dependent on how long you will be keeping them.

Putting flavors in refrigerator will cause condensation (water) to form. Its OK with nicotine.

How much condensation can there be, unless it's 2oz in a 16oz container?

G'Day schotzky, I keep mine in a cardboard box in cool cupboard and haven't had any probs. Most are in plastic bottles. The only issue I have is that altho the juices have a long shelf life, once opened I do find a gradual drop-off in flavour and I like flavour!!
Cheers and enjoy your vapes,

Here's a link on storing stuff.

What I mean is open bottle should not be stored. And unopen might be ok or not.

When I think flavors, I think flavors as in what I add to PG/VG/nicotine to make a vapeable liquid. Premixed liquids, in useable quantities, can be stored at room temperature or a cool room temperature for a few months at best. They continue to "steep" and the flavor will change. I guess I misunderstood the original question, thinking they were flavor concentrates instead.

That is exactly what I mean. The concentrated flavorings, not the flavor mixed with the pg/vg/nic.

If thy are concentrates, then I do think storing them in very cool place or a refrigerator would be best. Generally, they are in very small bottles so any condensation should be nominal at best.

It only takes one or two drops of water to thin out juice and change its flavor. another thing is you only want distilled water added to juice.

29ml = 1oz

I have stored flavors for baking in the cabinet for literally years with no problems. I would keep them in a cool dark place but I really don't think you need to clutter up your fridge with them. My personal plan is to use up a lot of what I have before buying more since it is really hard to predict the shelf life on the actual amount of flavor over time. Not that the flavor concentrate will go bad just that it may lose its vibrancy. My experience with baking anyway
