Summer time & E-juice ordering

[daleron]

So, everything tells you to keep your e-juice in a cool dark place which makes me wonder about ordering juice during the summer. It's starting to get pretty hot here in Arkansas. Any advise about that? Am I going to be stuck with the local B&M? Their stuff is okay but nothing like what I can get on-line, and their prices are high!

Good question - I should have thought of it last summer.
I've been vaping for well over a year, and hadn't noticed anything. That includes 2 weeks in Italy, so I think you're probably safe for the relatively short time of shipping.

I'm in texas....I was wondering that myself. gets way hotter here than any human should be exposed to!
altho I visited scottsdale (for work. I'd never goto AZ in july on purpose! ha) one summer and it was 115. I kid you not. even having lived in texas for 13+ years my body went into full shutdown mode. I normally drink 1-2 GALLONS of water a day (ever since I had my kids I can't get enough) and even then my legs blew up like balloons and I could hardly get my pants off at the end of my day. I was miserable.

Wish i'd been vaping then! going outside to smoke in 115 deg weather with very little shade was BRUTAL.

I dunno about damaging juice but def don't sniff it and form an impression right off the bat....Its been 80s here and I got some juice and I ripped open package and everything smelled the same. lol. I assume they will steep faster being put in the sun, eh?

I am going to stick with my belief that the heat is going to help my juices steep faster I stalk my mailman anyway so they won't be left in the box for long.

Don't go on vacation and let your juice sit in the mailbox for a week in the heat......

Who would go on vaca with vapemail on the way? Crazy people..that's who!

glass = better than plastic in regards to heat?

I feel like my plastic ones gets way hotter than the ones in my glass droppers

 

[daleron]

Well I don't vacation anymore so that's not a problem - if I know somethings coming in the mail I'm on top of it
Glass vs plastic - hummm, so far I've never gotten anything in glass so have no comparison on that one.
Kop - that's kind of helpful
Basylica - good to know about the 'sniffing' thing!

As far as I know, you should not leave your e-liquids out in the sun (keep them in a cool, dry, dark place).

Yes! Order before it gets really hot if you can.

Someone posted a picture (I'll try to find it) of their e-liquid order from summer and winter. Marked difference in color.

I think people might look at me funny if I run an extension cord out to my mailbox and replace my standard metal box with a dorm fridge.
Would I still have to paint my number on it? hmm....

Thats a problem here anyway. it's over 80 atleast 6months out of the year. it's late this year....we had an unseasonably cold winter/spring. it's usually 80-90 from march until november generally, and over 100 from late may until sept.
I can't imagine ordering enough juice to last me 9 months!

my mom is lucky, she's grandfathered in her neighborhood and has a house mounted mailbox. most everywhere has the at the curb style now to make sure precious mailmen don't work up a sweat. yesterday it was 84 and between 230 when delivered and 530 when i got home my box was already pretty darn warm.
its the nature of the south

Sigh Well that's pretty definite. Thanks anyway, I really did need to know & now I do

I DIY so don't have this problem but...
maybe open a P.O. box for vapemail? It's not terribly expensive, will keep you juices inside out of the heat and most boxes can be accessed after hours. A bit of a pain, but better than $30+ of hot juice.

Its the only hot thing showing up at my door. Darnit!

I think it is as it is with many things, not so bad in moderation, bad for extended amounts of time. Just make sure it is not baking for any extended amounts of time. Some people use a bit of heat to accelerate the steeping time, as long as it is not for any excessive length. The heat accelerates the reaction with the nicotine with the oxygen in the bottle. As long as there is not a large area of oxygen in the bottle and a long period of time to allow these reactions, the juice should be fine. Usually the darkness caused by oxidation doesn't bother the flavor too much anyway, it just slightly reduces the strength by a minuscule amount.
