defosting nic base

[sumo]

hi all can you refreze nic base when it has been defoste


or do i have to put it in to smaller bottles so that i am only defosting what i need to use thanks hope you can help

[Skwoddy]

I, for one, decanted my litre bottles into smaller 100ml bottles and have allocated a drawer in my freezer to them. 100ml at a time wont need any refreezing.

Skwoddy only got 100ml and only made up 5 flavors with it so far so at lease 95 ml left so would need to refreze when i get it out again so was just wounding if it could be refozen thanks again

This is what I did too, although I went with 200ml bottles because I'm a pig..

but did you use it all at the same time Mev or did you refrese it

[giles]

I don't think refreezing would be a problem, because it doesn't really freeze, just goes thick.

Personally I decant into 250ml glass bottles, and once I take one out of the freezer it doesn't go back in. Nic doesn't degrade that fast if you keep it in a dark place. Someone did the research on this, but I'm away from home without my bookmarks, so its a google task.

giles will google it and thanks

The shelf life when not in a frozen state is around two years anyway, 100ml bottles gives me 50 x 10ml of juice at 2ml per bottle equating to 18mg strength, approx 3 days per 10ml of juice equates to 150 days of vaping, so although 200ml bottles might have been wiser for me to get 300 days im happier working with the smaller bottles.

Skwoddy will try frezing 10 mil then defrosing it and see what happens if i don't use it all in oe go as only got five flavors to make up so far got wait untill end of month for before i an get any more so only using at most 5 ml at atime as 2 of us at it hope that will last me but was wondering if bought any more nic base and flavors if it was safe to do

[Mev]

Sorry... I don't re-freeze liquid although I can't foresee a problem in doing so if you really wanted.

[sumo]

thanks Mev know is not safe to refrese some things just was not so sure about this so may not do it but thanks any way

sumo
Why do you need to freeze it, if you only have 100ml?
Surely you'll use it within 2 years.

[sumo]

problaly will do fred but oh says that she wants some for some one at work and wants to get some diffrent flavors like a good liquorice and to try some of the mixes on here so don't know how far it will go as new to mixing and just wandered if i did not use say the full 10ml in one go and was not going to do any mixing for some time if it was safe to do

I think the concern with refreezing was more about any contamination with the number of times the bottle could be in and out the freezer, lid on/off when we had the discussion last time.

Depends how fastidious you are about such things I guess.

Like Giles, I decant into 250/300ml bottles and once it's out the freezer, it stays out. For no other reason other than I know I'll use that quantity within it's recommended unfrozen shelf life time.

For 100ml you really don't need to bother Sumo,  just pop it in the fridge.

thanks all will follow your advise and leave it in the fridge
