defosting nic base

[lardarse]

Fridge or freezer both have a risk of contaminating juice with water from condensation caused by the sudden change in temperature when taken out. Letting them stand 'till they reach room temperature before opening is the advice I've seen elsewhere

I was reading the "why you don't refreeze food" a while ago.

It's basically to do with 2 things.

Bacteria growth and osmosis (freezer burn)

Neither apply to eliquid since it's a poison and it does not have tissue cells like meat.

just put it on a "fast freeze" of your freezer has the option.

yes it does will try it some in it but not all at the moment will try an experiment with it and see what happens as do not want to end up throwing 2 much away if it does not work. will just comite a couple of mls to start with to the defrosting part then try to refreeze it will let you know how it turns out thanks again

I think you're worrying needlessly myself Sumo . . . given the volume you currently have, you're not going to contract Bubonic Plague by keeping it in the fridge or a cool dark place and using it as and when you need from there.

if you are going to use fast freeze on your freezer switch it on 3 or 4 hours before you need to put anything into it as all fast freeze is a bypass of your thermostat and will not run any faster than normal it will just get to it's coldest temperature possible around -30 if you are lucky but is just an electricity burner and will put excess strain on your compressor if you forget to turn it off it will run 24/7,if you are decanting your nic into smaller bottles to freeze fill the bottles as full as possible to minimize air gap at the top as that is what will start to degrade your nic even at low temperatures it will slow it but will never stop it as extreme cold only slows bacteria growth.

going t just leave in fridge for now and not worry too much about it unless I get any more than I can use before the shelf life ends thanks to everyone
