Where do you store your eliquid?

[MarkS]

Seeing has many of us are buying large amounts of eliquids in the TPD sales I was wondering how people store their juice.
I mainly store mine in a cool dark place (cupboard) but I was wondering if this is the best option for all eliquids.

I know the majority of eliquids improve with steeping, but I do find some fruit flavours, especially strawberry weaken over time.

Would refrigerating them or freezing them preserve certain flavour profiles are little longer?

Mixed liquid in the dark (3 months max for ADV, forever for the other stuff, never more than 1.5 l), but nic in the freezer and I have far more of that (9 l).

[MarkS]

Yeah I keep my nic in the freezer too and with the amount of premade I have coming I think its going to be there for a while.

Do you not find some fruit flavours degrade if steeped for 3 months in the cupboard?

Literally every strawberry recipe I've ever tried the strawberry tends to die off after a couple of months.

I'll keep you all in the dark (and in boxes) with this question.

Most of mine is in the blanket box part of the cupboard, the overspill is in my bedside drawers

Sorry, don't do fruit etc, just tobacco flavour.

I don't mix in bulk (or buy premade liquids), so I just keep the e-liquid bottles at arms reach on my coffee table or in my pocket!

Ah. Then the same here for tobaccos. the longer the steep in a cupboard the better.

That's interesting as I've never thought about keeping my concentrates in the fridge. They're all in old sweet tins in the cupboard.

Do you find they keep better in the fridge?

Yes I do find they keep better. However this is subjective and also a lot may be in my mind as convinced myself they keep better.

I only vape DIY and keep my juice in amber glass bottles in the cupboard. Yes fruits can die off and if that happens I'll add a shot of concentrate if needed. Strawberry I find by mixing different strawberry concentrates helps. I keep them for many months and especially custards. I have some custard which must be a year old without any problems. I keep my concentrates in boxes and cupboards and don't bother with the fridge and so far haven't had any problems even if they a little out of date. Nic in freezer and overspilled into mine fridge now as well as I've been stocking up

Having reorganised my kitchen cupboards . . . . buying all this ready made galvanized me into having a de-clutter!

My pre-TPD splurges now have a cupboard of their own. 

Most of what I've bought is bottled in glass, so that will help to an extent with any deterioration. Other than that, they'll just get an extra shot of flavour when I get round to using them if the flavour has peaked off.

Urrm well before TPD I didn't actually have any ready made, aside from my meagre stash of Kilo Dewberry Cream which I haven't yet mastered a clone of, and was all DIY and all of that sits in a kitchen cupboard........however now I have a couple of shoe boxes in the wardrobe upstairs with all the ready-mades in, yes all my Strawberry ones peak off after a while but I just add a dash of this and a dash of that and hey it's vapable again

Fixed up there. Vape on.
