nic base storage

[igual]

Heyas peeps just wanted to check what the best bottles to keep VG nic base in the freezer.
I think I remember amber glass being mentioned.
Anyone point me to good place to purchase from.
Need enough for 1 liter in ideally 200/250 mil bottles.

I bought mine from my local independent chemists.
They were 100ml brown glass bottles and i think they were about 50p each

The product is fine, but don't be in a hurry for delivery, they took 10 days to send me a recent order of 10x100ml bottles. And was solely down to them as they did not send the items until 8 days after the order.

I agree they're not the quickest but they are quality and well packaged and in the interim you can just stick the litre bottles of nic in the freezer until they arrive.

To extend the shelf life.  Many of us have a bit of a stock of nic base, should the EU regs make it hard or illegal to buy.  It will keep indefinitely in the freezer if stored in amber glass bottles

That is a good question. I keep my nic stash in the bottom of my freezer partly cos it is very dark but I really do not know if keeping it at freezing point helps or hinders.

I get all mine from here: www.colouredbottles.co.uk/store/home.php

Definitely helps if you're planning on long term storage ( over a couple of years ) . . . I'm using nic base that has been ' frozen' for over 3 years now in amber glass bottles and it's as fresh as when I tucked it away Richard46.
