Ok so i have a dilemma, nicotinehub is doing 20% off for 5 days. I am wanting to buy a litre so im good for a long time. Problem is i have only have 7 glass bottles to store it in the freezer. Can i put the rest in a hdpe bottle in the fridge for a bit till i acquire the other 3 said bottles. And how long can it sit in the fridge in the hdpe bottle?

@Psycho_316 that should be fine, and as long as it doesn’t take forever to get the last 3 bottles, the impact will be negligible.

Are we not supposed to store nicotine in the original bottle in the freezer? If not should I get some amber glass bottles and transfer it to them?

@TimWV it depends on what TYPE of bottle it comes in. If it’s any kind of plastic, YES, relocate it into glass.

I know I’ll probably get a little pushback on this, but if I had to do it over, I’d go with clear glass for freezer storage. In my case, it’s stored in a small chest type freezer that doesn’t get opened often. With the amount of light that gets into a freezer, I’d prefer the convenience of being able to pull a bottle for visual inspection, without having to open it, to use a pipette or syringe.
The working bottle IS covered, though, on the shelf. My high tech toilet paper tube is perfect for a 60 ml bottle.
Some of my stored nic is 5 - 6 years old, and as clear as when it arrived.
Edit: I also found it a pain in the ass when breaking down the jug, into amber bottles. It was difficult to see the level in the bottle, as I was filling it. After I over filled the first one a bit, I ended up putting a flashlight behind the amber bottles, to make it easier to keep an eye on the level. (live & learn)

@d_fabes I bought into the “amber” thing when I first started freezing large bottles of NIC, BUT, I ended up shifting to ALL clear. Same reasons as you. Clear doesn’t matter if it’s in a dark freezer LOL, AND, you can SEE what’s in it.

It has to do with moisture seeping from plastic. Where glass is a barrier. I wouldnt use the pet they send it in. Hdpe bottles are thicker. I put 300ml in 3 hdpe 100ml bottles wrapped them in paper towels taped them up and put them in a ziploc bag. Then i put them in a box inside a carrier bag from m&s and put them in the bottom draw. Im going all ninja mode with them lol
