Storing my juice

[Arkus1]

So I have been keeping my juice in the fridge, because there was a label on the bottles that said to. However, I would like to direct drip when I am at home instead of going through carts and having to go through the process of refilling them constantly.
I understand lots of people prefer the drip method, and I can't really see everyone getting up to run to the fridge every 20 mins for another couple drops.
Wondering if I actually need to keep my juice refrigerated, or if it is ok to just let it sit out at room temperature without having to worry about the bottle sweating or something.

I personally don`t refrigerate my juice, but in UK it not exactly hot ha-ha! One thing you could possibly do if worried about your juice going off etc is to get a small 5ml bottle for dripping?

I use a 5ml sample bottle (got mine from Totallywicked) to save having a big 30 ml bottle next to me, also if you knock it over (yes I have done it and wasted nearly full 30ml!) your only spilling a small amount!

Didn't know anything about refrigerating juices. Thanks for that!

Light and heat are supposidly the biggest problems for juice. Hardly anyone keeps in in the frig from what I have read. I do vacuum seal the bottles that I store for months and keep it in a cool dark place.

Agree! I do same just a dark drawer for me, but the juice doesn`t last long enough to vacuum seal

I dont refrigerate my juices at all but I do keep them out of direct sunlight. So far so good - nothings gone 'off' that I can tell. I don't know if refrigeration is necessary or not personally I wouldn't keep anything containing nic in the same place I store food and drink but thats my personal preference.
The darker storage I do because the juice makers often say to keep it out of sunlight as that can affect it (maybe it breaks down/seperates/I really don't know I just follow orders lol).

I keep unopened liquids in an opaque box in the fridge, but once out, they stay out.

Every bottle of juice i have every put in the fridge ends up tasting bad. Wouldnt recommend it.

I converted my cigar humidor into my vaping supply box (or whatever you wanna call it). Its a nice looking wooden one so its not a bunch of bottles and attys and carts sittin there in a cardboard box.

There's been a lot of discussion about that if you search the forum. I do store my opened bottles in the fridge, simply because I am more comfortable with it. Dark, however, is more important than cold.

One should not, though, get the bottles out of the fridge and back in very often, condensation could become a problem. Therefore, I have everything I vape at the moment in 5ml bottles, which are standing on my desk, period. The rest of the bottle I store in the fridge door. Far easier to handle, those 5ml-bottles, especially when you are out and about.

I keep bulk of my juice in the freezer (about 8 months so far) and 90ml at ambient temperature. When 90ml runs out I get 90ml more out of the freezer.

I was just reading on the V4L forum and a poster said they lost a bunch of juice by storing it in the fridge. I am going to ask my supplier. Until I get an answer I think I will just play it safe & keep mine cool and dark.

If it is unflavored--you can keep it in the fridge. If it is flavored, no fridge--just a cool, dark, and dry place. The fridge is loaded with condensation when opened and closing the door.

I lost over 400 dollars worth of e-liquid storing it in the fridge. My advise is to do not do it!!! It all turned rancid. I have e-liquid coming on two years old here that is just as good as the day I bought it and keep it in a draw. The fridge is where I lost all the money.

Yes, that thread was posted by Sun who lost over $400 in juice by keeping it in the frig. Not a good idea. A cool, dry and dark place is where I keep my stash.

 

[Jani]

Thanks Sun for clearing that up, I couldn't remember the thread or poster, just remembered reading it. So much information to absorb, but am very thankful for all the knowledgeable posters.

I just keep mine in a cool dark place like everyone else. I wouldn't want nicotine in the fridge where I store food and drinks for my daughter, but that's just my opinion.

I had decided to store mine in our basement where it stays very cool and dark 24/7. But, I'm a little concerned it may get too cool. It's a semi-finished basement and gets pretty cool, even in the summer since the a/c ducts run through there. Since food service folks tell me refrigerators are set at 38-40 degrees, I'm wondering if keeping my juice in the basement could end up being the same as the refrigerator.
Any long-time basement stashers have advice?
