I store all mine currently in the cool/dark basement and the ones that I haven't let breathe/steep yet usually stay in a paper bag. Some say to put it in the fridge in a paper bag or box to keep out the light but I have never went that far since I never usually have more than couple months worth of liquid on hand so far. I usually keep a few 30ML bottles of various flavors upstairs with me in the oppressive heat of my poorly ventilated office.

Minimising the amount of air in the bottle is even more important, and you should switch to glass bottles (at least, until EU regulations outlaw them!) Use dark or tinted glass (page since removed) if possible. Finally, keeping the juice in the fridge or (ideally) the freezer will maximise its lifespan.

Ive been starting to stock my fave commercially-made premium ejuices since last November and have already had the chance to verify that juice placed in the fridge apparently "keeps" longer as opposed to keeping unopened bottles in a shoebox on a closet shelf at regular (unheated ) room temp (that would be 16° -19° C here in my old 18th century building ;) )

The ones in the fridge (fruit & veggie drawer with brown paper around them) are the same as the day I got them but the other ones have clearly aged & gone through a steeping process.... a light colored juice like my Pearana from Beantown has gone from a very very pale yellow to a dark yellow gold in the shoebox.Color unchanged for the batch in the fridge ;) .

Of course this may also depend on the kind of juice and the flavors,possibly also the nicotine content,havent been able to go into such detail yet...

My juices are all fruit and dessert type flavors with Nic content ranging from zero to 6mg....

I buy my juice by the liter, I've been doing this for a couple years, I get a liter for $100 so I save a lot of money doing it that way. I keep it in my fridge and one bottle lasts me well over a year, no change in color or flavor. I vape Cinnamon Red Hots (yes I have heard about vaping Cinnamon but I've been vaping it for 8 years and I'm still here and healthy) 24mg. I've ordered a gallon, it's only $50 more and with the FDA doing their thing I think it's practical. I'm splitting it into 4 liter amber glass bottles but even if some goes bad down the road I've still saved money, I also have plenty of 100mg. nic in the freezer just in case, but I really love this juice and I don't think I can make it as well as my e juice vendor.

I get it from Vapor Renu, Jason has been making it for me for about 7 years now and I haven't found anyone else who makes it the way I like it... I want it to taste just like the candy. He switched to natural cinnamon a few years back but it made me cough like crazy so now I write him when I make an order and he makes mine up with the artificial flavor, I guess my lungs like the artificial flavor better than natural :)

I have good results of storing my favorite NET in the freezer. I did a test on it and had it in there for over a year. When I remembered I had it in there, I pulled it out and treated it like I would a fresh from the mail bottle.

There was no discernible difference in the fresh from the mail bottle and the one that had been in the freezer for over a year.

I now have a few bottles that I am stocking up on and putting them in the freezer as soon as I get them in the mail.
All I can say is give it a try. :)
