The freezer stash has cost between $110 and $160 per liter plus tax and shipping. I have also bought some crap.

Darn, they're greedy!! The 7 liters I have stashed were $50 or $40 per liter (when on sale) while I was stocking up...

Speaking of @JCinFLA, I picked up some of the Lucky Shot a while back but finally DIYed it and it is exceptional... I'm mostly a tobacco guy but I do like a good dessert for a change and Lucky Shot is so simple, yet so flavorful!
Thank you!

Yay! I'm glad you really like it! Seems more and more people are trying it and have similar opinions then.

If you like coffee, you may want to try Kimberly's combo of Lucky Shot and Lotta Latte. It's been her ADV for 4+ years, but she had no name for it. So I call my mix of it Caramel Latte, and ChelsB calls hers Lucky Latte. I make it at 7% Lucky Shot + 6% Lotta Latte, but you can use more or less of each, of course. It's been my ADV for more than a year now, and has become ChelsB's, too. If you'd like to maybe try a small bottle of the Lotta Latte...just PM me. :)

When I got my 5 liters it was over a $100 a liter, plus $140 for a small freezer. Prices started coming down after that, and there were a lot of sales, but considering I was stashing away enough for the rest of my life the difference didn't seem worth fretting about. I just calculated I would have spent that much on cigs in 3 months.

All Right You'zzz Gals & Guys...Back to another Nicotine storage question...I know many of you transfer your nic into glass containers...I usually order mine from ECX and it comes in those really tough Little White Jugs...Does anyone have an opinion on leaving them as is ???...I ask because they're so well sealed I hate to break the seal and start the oxidation...I did ask them directly and of course they said yes they're perfect...Any thoughts ???

The best of both worlds. Leave as is. When you open a jug, immediately transfer all of it to 30 or 60 ml glass (depending on your rate of consumption) bottles, filling to as close to the top as you can. Freeze them, also. Remember to gradually warm up any jug or bottle to room temperature before opening.

I also mix my 50/50 3mg/ml base a quart at a time, which keeps the nic fresher before it is actually used for juice.

Thanks...But I'm probably gon'a get at least 4 liters...Got'a be bigger bottles :D
I do see a lot of debate on the "Heavy Plastic" with many saying AOK...But I guess I could see leave'em be until opened and then transfer...Hmmm...

Are those "Wide Mouth Jar" type bottles or "Narrow & Cap"...I've got a perfect spot and 8 bottles I can do AOK...Maybe I can find some 250's and just break'em down when I crack the seal on the original container...

I did try it but at much lower concentrations, 3% each. Liked it but for now (at least) I'm stuck on a 50/50 mix of pink lemonade and blue raspberry from them. I will most likely revisit the Caramel/Lucky Latte in the near future but I believe I should try them individually first.

Per Kurt, plastic may crack in the freezer. Nude Nicotine (my favorite) sells nic packaged for long-term storage (dark glass, argon purged or otherwise sealed bottles, see their Armor line). You can choose the size of the bottles, how they are sealed, and customize your PG/VG and nic concentration. They are expensive, but their nic is high quality and the convenience can't be beat. They usually have a 30% off sale on Black Friday.

Also, if you haven't already, read Kurt's advice on storing nic--as soon as the search is back. I can't find any links for you right now, except this one:

Nicotine Comparisons

and this one:

Nic Base Storage: Freezer vs. Room Temp Experiment

Good luck!

The nic is in 500ml amber boston rounds. Wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a freezer bag in a box filled with packing peanuts.

I put pg/vg in mason jars and in the freezer only because they fit. I did miscalculate the vg as a 4 liter jugs will last me more than 8 years.

Hey @brewbear, are these the 2 flavorings?
One Stop Flavors - Blue Raspberry Slush - 30mL
One Stop Flavors - Pink Lemonade - 30mL

Gonna make a black fri purchase and will load some up for testing out.

But mason jars can't be hermetically sealed, can they? And dispensing liquid nicotine from jars might prove rather messy, no?

Never mind--you're talking about just plain PG and VG, no nic, right?

Reading comprehension issues here. Sorry. :lol:

I only use NN (don't like peppery nic) and I sprung for 250ml of the long-term on my last order. I really like their smooth salts but that is not available in the long-term option yet.

Agree. I love their nic and splurged also on the 250 ml long-storage bottles. And I love their smooth salts. No long storage option for smooth? Oh, no... I wanted to get some more on Black Friday. Bummer.
