Storing liquids in the refrigerator

[Sever]

Greetings,

I was wondering, how long could one store its liquids in the refrigerator? 2 years or something?
I am asking cause it seems my favourite Sunset cavendish will be stopped soon...terrible news though.... and i do plan to stock as much as i can

An unopened bottle, in a dark, cool place should last for Many Years. I keep mine in the fridge for long term storage (in use bottles are just on the shelf in my bedroom) and I have some over 2 years old that are just as good as when I put them there. One thing I see posted is not to freeze them, only freeze straight nic. Hope that helps.

It may actually store better in the freezer.
Maybe someone who knows for sure will stop by.
My logic is "if cold is good, freezing is better".
The liquid won't actually freeze I don't think.
Just get "very" cold.

EDIT. Thanks Burnie, apparently I'm wrong again!
I mean for the first time ever!

For the longer term I keep concentrated nicotine in the freezer, flavorings and full bottles of eliquid in the fridge. I've read that some eliquid and flavorings may be affected by freezing in a negative way, yet a member here did keep some in the freezer for over a year without noticeable change. I guess only time will tell how well these methods work.

Look it up as it will make more sense in its web site format. DIY is easy, inexpensive, and can open a whole new interest in making your own juices.

Put 'em in the Freezer...I got three bottles of Long Bottom Leaf and two of Shire malt in there from a bit more than two years ago and they look, smell and taste as fresh as the day i got 'em. I keep my nic in there too.

I call that a rock solid recommendation. I found some Pipe Sauce liquids not so long ago in my box and they were gone off so badly...
Freezer them!

I think 2 Years in the Frig would seem Reasonable.

As to Freezing it? I would suggest you do One thing before you consider Freezing a Flavored e-Liquid. And that is Do a Test on a Small Amount.

I have read Posts where members have said that Freezing a Flavored e-Liquid changed its Taste.

I would put 10ml of that Flavored e-Liquid that you like in a Glass Bottle, pop it in the Freezer, then pull it out a week later and Test it once it has Fully Thawed.

Yup...same here. I had one that turned BLACK it was so old...hence my freezer storage. BTW Glycerol (VG) is an antifreeze...down to -36C!

 

[Sever]

Yeah it seems 2 years is a reasonable time.
I wont freeze them, will be kept at 4 deg C, i got replied by the producer it should last AT LEAST 2 years so i am gonna stack some, prolly 50-60 30g bottles

Unfortunately DIYing juices isnt my bright site and i tried nothing good came to being , hehe

Welcome and glad you joined. I know flavors are ok to place in the refrigerator but think you would be hard pressed to get a definitive answer regarding e liquid. Way too many variables to make a blanket statement on length of time. My guess as time goes by, flavor and e liquids are going to show signs of degradation. How much degradation depends on how much a person can tolerate and or perceive.
