that could be why. I keep mind in my E Smoke pouch. I use it a lot though don't really feel like filling tons of carts. Perhaps I'll start leaving it in the fridge
What I have found is if I get the 10ml bottles I will keep 1 bottle out and with me. When I go to bed I put it in the fridge and take it back out the next morning. I use up the 10ml bottles before they have a chance to degrade any. My extra bottles stay in the fridge till I run out of the current bottle. This is why I like the 10ml bottles.
So, I mixed up a batch of my special blend about 4 weeks ago (1/2 litecig orient 11mg, 1/2 puresmoker camel 0mg) and put it in two bottles. I'd been carrying one bottle around with me and using it for 3 weeks or so, and hadn't noticed any difference--the other bottle was kept in an old humidor (not humid, by the way, but certainly insulated from light and probably to some extent from heat). When I took the second bottle out, I realized how cloudy the bottle i'd been carrying had become--the smoke juice was fairly opaque by this point. Wish I'd taken a picture now. No real noticeable difference in the performance, though.
Anyway, maybe the propylene glycol oxidized? I dunno.

I'm still curious if e-liquid can be frozen and maintain nic potency? It would be good to know if we have to stockpile it in the future.
I'm new to this E-cig thing, but I was curious about the Eliquid. I plan to keep my carts as I use them, then squeeze the remaining juice into a little bottle to use. It may take 6-9 days for me to smoke 5 carts. How can I keep the carts I already smoked from drying up before I squeeze them out?
Or should I squeeze out the liquid more often?
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
P.S. Is there any way to keep the Quit banner in your signature line? (It runs over 2 lines)

Not sure this belongs here, but I'm forbidden to start new threads. Anyway, wondered if anyone had figured out a good container to use while traveling - particularly flying. I buy juice from puresmoker.com and like it except for the fact that the cap does not seal and the juice leaks (fortunately inside the ziplock baggie) due to altitude and pressurization. I typically fly to several different cities during the week, so looking for a good alternative.
Anyone had luck with re-using eyedrop (i.e. Visine) containers?

I haven't tried an eye drops bottle yet, but I use the "sweet breath" bottles from walgreens or whatever. They seal better than the bottles from PS and they're the perfect size for one/two days at a time or if you want to carry several flavors without taking up a bunch of room.

I wish some european places to buy the small bottles would come up too... I have a great place for bottles from 10 ml and up; but can't find the 3 or 4 ml bottles I want...
Refridgeration raises another question, shouldn't juice and carts be locked up due to their toxicity? Ive got two toddlers who get into everything, I was going to keep my stuff in a caboodles lock box, but I cant keep that in the fridge..... Anyone know of a lockbox you can keep in the fridge????
geez I didn't know you had to hid the ejuice? My room is a little hotter than normal. Should there be a problem? don't want it having fungus now = X
I keep my custom liquids in a amber dropper bottles (less than 70 cents each), stored in the bottom drawer of my desk. The Totally Wicked liquids come in this type bottle, and any that I buy from someplace else get transferred into them.
That said, they don't last long enough to go bad.

It's good to know that some liquids stay good for 2 years. Might come in handy if importation becomes illegal...
BrenYngOne, I would look into lockable CD cases. Cheaper/smaller than a firesafe but just enough security and room to store your goodies and keep the kids safe! My Vaultz CD case ran about $20.

Thanks Weezy, I saw some made by Vaultz online, I'm not sure if they would stand up to the moisture in the fridge & no lock on it, Maybe Ill try a small kayak drybox, and rig a lock on it......hmmmm
I am new to the forum and to e-cigs but my New n-joy carts delivered today (3-18-2009) have an expiration date of 2015. Not sure if they will still be effective then. But that is what is on them. They are in a sealed bad and have stoppers in the end of the cart. My first juice should arrive this week.
Moisture in the fridge? I don't mean to drag this thread off-topic, but you shouldn't have moisture in your fridge. A fridge works identical to an air conditioner... It transfers heat from one area to another and in the process it removes humidity from the air. If you need a cool, dry place to store something, the fridge should be ideal.
