Nicotine Storage

[collie2011]

I'm going to start buying some each month and popping it in my chest freezer, but I need someone to check my maths.

I based this on If I had 75mg base. I vape 15mg juice which is 2ml in a 10ml mix. By this 1000ml of ejuice would use 200ml of nic base so 1ltr of nic base would make up 5000ml of ejuice or 5 ltrs Me

At 3ml per day 5000ml lasts for 1666.666r days or 4.5 years!!!! Is my maths right????

It's also because you are using high nic base and your nic intake is lowish, so win win all round

It doesn't freeze solid if that's what you're thinking Tfulp . . . rather more thickens and becomes less viscous. I haven't noticed any expansion within the glass bottles I've used either.

I know that strength is legal in the US ( it isn't here without a Poison's License ) but do be careful handling it won't you. At that concentration it is highly toxic.

Roger, A 500ml glass container of 100mg Nic in 100% pg costs $79.95 here in the US.....Perpetua, Thanks for your concern about my health. I wear gloves and use syringes to extract it. Also, I wear safety glasses and never breath it. I am a few feet from a fresh water supply just in case I get a drop on me. I always dispose of the working materials in our Hospitals HazMat waste disposal container. Thanks everyone for your quick response.

I'm getting 100ml medicinal glass bottles with plastic caps from the chemist tomorrow and I can see myself spilling nic all over the place from the 1l nicvape plastic bottle.

Apart from a funnel, any tips to avoid an expensive accident?!!

Also should you fill the glass bottles right to the top before capping them or allow for any tiny bit of expansion?

[Perpetua]

I always use a funnel Lemental, either a cook shop, hardware store or even the Pound Shops have them . . . I fill up to the neck of the bottle, whilst it doesn't expand, it makes it easier for when you come to use.

Thanks Perpetua I'm off to Wilkos tomorrow so will pick one up and some of that tape you mentioned! I see what you mean about the markings. The markings on the cheap 1ml syringe I use for filling tanks are almost completely worn off.

[Perpetua]

Glass syringes and pipettes are really the long term answer Lemental . . . bit more of an outlay but worth it on a couple of sizes that you use the most.

I'm pretty sure Rom's linked to a Seller of them on his Mixing Supplies sticky and I think Carrie at 28Vapeslater was looking to stock some.

[lemental]

Thanks Perpetua Will look out for them. I'll start off with the plastic and tape though. I'm spending far too much because of you lot at the moment

[Perpetua]

We are norty it's true.
