Freezing Flavourings.

[lobeydosser]

Now that I have a sufficient amount of Nic Base stashed away, I am turning my attention to tried and tested tobacco flavourings that I would also like to store away for the future.
My first lot arrived today and I notice on the label that its Shelf Life is only one year. 

I believe that flavourings are made up using PG as a base and therefore is it safe to Freeze Flavourings?

Any advice greatfully received.

Same applies as to Nicotine Base I'd think Lobey . . . in glass. Although I'd imagine over long term storage that some of the potency could well dissipate.

Thanks Perpetua, that's what I thought.

As I collect 100ml of each flavour, I will decant it into the 100ml glass bottles that I have and freeze it.

I'll need to paint the tops a different colour from the nic base that is in the freezer already or I might end up vaping pure flavours again!

[Perpetua]

Sounds like a plan Lobey.

My way of thinking here is that although most of the pudding and fruit flavours that come from the the main food flavourings suppliers will be okay after any EU ban, I am not so sure that companies will continue to make tobacco flavourings should a ban come into force as there will be no market here for them.

So I think it is prudent to have some of my main tobacco flavour stashed away as a safety net against the deliberations of the Brussels Buffoons.

[Perpetua]

It's a logical train of thought, whether it would be enforceable Lobey I don't know?

However if you have the space etc, then there's something quite satisfying in being able to stick two fingers up at whatever the EU Bureaucrats decide to impose on us.

Great idea if you've got the space available, I think we all need to be prepared, after all look how many were prepared for Doomsday *shopping*

Not going to be a problem for me personally as I now can't abide any tobacco smelling or tasting liquids Although you never know maybe there will be a call for tobacco flavouring for cakes for those that are forced to give up

I too am beginning to drift more towards fruit flavours, although, at the moment, only vape these in the evenings.
I am still experimenting with shop bought flavours and have not yet tried to mix any of my own.
Everything I do mix is still the tobacco ones.

If a ban did come in and if it did include tobacco flavours, then I would like to give myself a goodly time of experimenting with other flavours before having to change over.

One of the biggest appeals of vaping for me, is freedom of choice and the very idea that Non Elected persons in another country can impose restrictions on my freedom of choice absolutely appals me.
