Amber or brown coloured bottles are best for storing Nicotine, I bought a litre in 250ml bottles for the bottom of my freezer, you can then decant them into smaller 30ml bottles when you want to use some.

your local chemist may be the cheapest source when you take pnp out of the equation, just say its for home made cough syrup.. someone got a funny reaction from a chemist iirc and was refused subsequent bottles if used for that e-ciggy business?? tho that might have been VG sourcing not bottles??..

I have bought 50ml amber glass bottles from ampulla.co.uk

Work out how much nicotine base you use per 6 months then order bottle size that best match your usage.

For the freezer it does not matter what colour the glass bottles are as the little light goes out when the freezer door is shut
In many ways for long term storage it is handy to see the colour of the liquid for example you have 10 small bottles of nicotine base stored in clear glass and one of them is seen to be slightly darker you then use that one first.
The important thing is keeping the air out/ very little head room - air contains around 20% oxygen- fill to the very brim as DIY nicotine base does not expand in the freezer.
Many references to long term freezer storage on overseas forums suggest that over the years a small drop in nicotine content can be expected - around a 6% drop seems to be suggested/test results - others have reported no drop in nicotine content years later with the liquid still as good as the day it was placed in the freezer.

I am currently using a bottle that went in the freezer a year and a half ago, looks as good as when it went in, but cannot say whether it's lost any strength, doubt I would notice as I only use 1mg now.
