I could be wrong but I don’t think you need to store the pg/vg in the fridge. Especially if you’re worried about it getting tainted. I’ve always left mine in my “mixing tote” at room temp and never had a problem. The only thing I keep cold is my nic in brown amber bottles in the freezer.

OK @stickynigel this is where Form Function, and Convenience come into play.

Squishy bottles, by nature can be permeable. I don’t mean you’ll see drops of VG or PG literally on the bottles, but they can and will allow “things” to pass through the barrier. Harder PET bottles will not, BUT, they’re a pain to work with.

It IS possible if you have LDPE, maybe even HDPE bottles, that over time, a super stinky fridge could impart some of that stink into the PG/VG, but depends on how stinky LOL.

If you’re really concerned, and feel you must keep your PG/VG in the fridge, get a medium, medium-large box of Arm and Hammer (whatever brand you can get) Baking Soda, and either cut off the top of the box, or open it. It will absorb most of the stinkies in the fridge. Cheap way to get peace of mind.

It’s probably better to keep them out of the fridge so you don’t get condensation form inside the bottle every time you take it out to warm up before mixing.
