Storing nic in freezer

[cocacola31173]

I recently come across a good deal on nic base and have decided to store some in my freezer. I bought some 125 ml bottles to store it in but was just wondering how much room to leave in the bottle before I put it in the freezer?

Thanks!

Usually 1/4 inch of headspace is recommended.

A quarter of a inch from the cap? Does the nic base not expand that much?

For me I find that it doesn't expand at all so I fill it all the way to the top .

Water is a rare substance that expands when frozen. Everything else contracts. Unless you're mixing with a good amount of water, expect contraction in the cold.

And you're not going to freeze PG or VG in a domestic freezer anyway.

Yeah... Water is one of a Very Few Chemical Compounds that has Less Density in a Frozen State that it Does in a Liquid State.

Hence, Ice Cubes Float in Water.

Which is a Good Thing for Fresh Water Fishes. Because if Water behaved like Most Liquids, Lakes would Freeze from the Bottom Up during Winter. And all the Fish (as well as everything Else) would Die when the Lake turned into One Big Piece of Ice.

While not an answer to your question, this post is how to avoid having to ask your question.

I didn't have to make that decision. Many say that the Nic should be repackaged to Glass Bottles if it comes in a plastic bottle.

I bought mine from My Freedom Smokes Our Unflavored Smoke Juice (Nic Juice, Nicotine Juice) - My Freedom Smokes
theirs if bought domestically comes in Amber bottle,factory sealed, hopefully in vaccuum. So I never unwrapped the bubble wrap, or opened the bottle, just stuffed it into the freezer.

I have enough to last for 3 years for when/if the FDA messes with the Nic Supply.
