Question about freezing nicotine.

[Deleted]

If I'm going to stockpile nicotine and freeze it...........would PG based nic or VG based nic freeze/keep better?

[markus]

I'd like to know this aswell, good question Kreed

I would assume PG would keep better as it's synthetic.
But that's only an assumption.

I've got both in the freezer. I've defrosted & used the VG base after 2 years and it was fine. Only just got the pG based so won't know that for another two years or so, I'm afraid.

I suspect that it won't matter, after all the temp will be the same, but not an expert.

300ml PG Amber bottles filled to the brim for minimal air for me...got 3 litres in the freezer but will be stock piling some more in the new year.

Ditto

As per reefcat, I've had both in the freezer and used both after about 18 months and no issues with either. Got 12 litres of pg based nic in the freezer at the moment, only because I prefer mixing with pg.

Does it expand much when frozen ?

I like my nic in VG.........just makes accidents less serious.

If I knock over VG nic.........it gives you a few seconds to grab it.........doesn't flow as quick

tagging piratesvapeuk as 'the freezer club' on his site was where i first read about freezer storage of nic base..

Afaik both VG and PG are stable compounds, and the nicotine is the volatile aspect of the base solutions?? so not much between em but im far from expert..

I was wondering if nicotine will hold it's strength better in one of them.......or if there's no difference?

The nic mix does not actually freeze in the freezer.So no expansion due to ice build up

To be honest about the most informative thread about it I've seen on any forum...... is actually on here

Bulk Nicotine

It's well worth ploughing through if you are interested in the topic and haven't already

Na, it doesn't actually freeze, on my 3rd bottle, no leaks or explosions yet.
