I don't want to give you a red X, but I disagree. Yes, almost all of mine is in glass, with polycone caps, but there appears to be little (if any) downside to storing it in PET plastic. I discovered this by accident when I found some nic I'd bought 2-1/2 years earlier that I'd forgotten about in the freezer. It was fine.
Well, you have every right to disagree with
how I chose to personally store
my own nic base and
why I chose that way. I never said that everyone
must/should do it that way, nor that any other method is wrong. But, feel free to use the red X if you choose to...no problem. I always "put my big girl panties on" before coming to the forum!
However,
my post had
nothing to do with changes in nic base, or the lack of changes, when comparing nic base stored in the freezer (in a PET bottle) vs. not stored in a freezer (which is what your thread is about, IIRC from browsing it periodically). I didn't mention nic degradation or other changes
at all, as the reason for why
I chose to use glass bottles. Since it's a page or so back, here it is again:
"I, personally, would never store nic base in a plastic bottle, in a freezer...unless that bottle was made by a plastics company to meet specific standards required for use by the scientific and medical fields. Those bottles have to meet rigid specs (which are plainly published), including specs for maximum and minimum storage temps. The regular plastic containers that any/all the nic base I've ever bought comes in...weren't made to meet those standards. All of mine is in glass bottles with poly cone caps."
There IS a big difference between ordinary plastic bottles that we're all familiar with (made for everyday use) and those made by companies like Azlon, Dynalon, etc. that meet the specs for scientific and medical uses. I said
those would be the
only kind of plastic bottles I'd use,
if I used plastic at all. I decided that because I've had ordinary plastic bottles/containers in my own freezer over the years...that
have split or cracked during freezer storage time of well less than a year. It was no big loss when I had to pitch some homemade vegetable soup, some chicken stock, and a few other things over the years. But...I decided I definitely wanted to eliminate
that possible situation with my nic base, years down the road.
