Nicotine base shelf life

[mikael]

Due to new and totally ridiculous regulations here in Sweden (we're not even allowed to import anymore), I've bought 1 liter of 100 mg VG unflavoured nicotine base. I reckon this is about 8 years worth for me. Can I expect to be able to store it that long without it losing its potency? I've seen lots of discussions about this, but am still quite confused about it.

I've understood that storing it in glass is ideal. Opinions vary about whether it should be stored in a cool/dark place or in the fridge. I have no kids so I don't have to worry about anyone drinking it, so precautions aren't that important.

decant it in to smaller bottles and stick it in the freezer.
Take em out as you need em should last the full 8 years.

Yep - what he said ^^^

Conventional wisdom says store in glass bottles with minimum air gap at the top stored in your freezer.

I've always decanted into amber glass bottles with as little ' air ' space as possible, then popped my base into the freezer mikael . . . . currently I'm using some that's 6+years old, without the benefit of testing it seems as fresh and potent as the day it went into storage.

If it has dropped off in strength, I'm not noticing it.

Thanks! I think I'll go for 50 ml glass bottles in the freezer.
