What's the best way to store e-juice

[rob408]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to get everyone's input on what is the best way to store e-juice. I usually buy the bigger size e-juice and observed that as time goes on, the liquid gets thicker which leads me to believe that there is some condensation and/or evaporation. I've seen some vendors selling glass bottles and wanted to know if it was necessary. Any input wold be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I keep mine in the fridge. Works fine for me...

Sounds good. How about when the bottles are on store shelf, don't they start to evaporate then?

I'm on the way to the fridge as we speak. Thanks!

If its a very large amount, its best to store it in multiple smaller bottles. This reduces the air entering the container(s) whenever you go to fill from it, and will prevent the nicotine from oxidizing.

I've personally never found the refrigerator to be necessary in storing premade liquids. I just keep them out of light and high temperature.

I do keep my nicotine base solutions in a lockbox in my freezer. According to Wizard Labs it can be stored indefinitely this way (along with the smaller bottle tip above).

I emailed Essential Depot about long term storage of their PG & VG. They directly stated to not freeze it, and that keeping it in the HDPE bottle made no difference (therefore no reason to take up more space & glass).

I've just got all of my stuff in a small box, but I plan to get a tackle box or something to put it all in.

I keep mine on the table, or in the bedside table drawer for longer storage to keep it from the light. But I've never had a problem with keeping bottles out as long as they're not on the window sill in the sunshine.

My local vendor keeps them in racks on the store shelves. If that's fine, why go through all the trouble to make a dark, frozen environment for them at home? I could see an exception for a gallon or something, but otherwise, meh.

I find juice only gets better with time, as long as they are kept out of sunlight and away from heat I think your good. I have juices that are 2 years old and still great if not better with age.

I store mine in a cool dark place. As for storing in the fridge...Post # 13.

Many of us transfer out juice to tinted glass bottles because of plastic leaching- tinted to help keep out light. The more air in the bottle the quicker it will oxidize.

I've used those for other liquids and found that the rubber part fails after about a year. so you may want to get some with regular caps as well.

Great info. Thanks for everyone's input.

I know that Halo specifically tells you not to refrigerate their liquids. That having been said, I'm a trucker so I generally buy in rather large orders as I go out for a month or more at a time. I store mine in the fridge until about a week before I need them, and I have never had a problem with them.

I just make sure mines in a drawer and is never left in the sunlight

thanks great advice, I was too lazy and forgetful that I pasted from an old list, was trying to just put up specialty bottles main site and failed .

I have VG and PG liquid I am wondering if its beneficial to store these in the fridge as well as the nicotine or not?
