Ok, let’s throw another wrench into the works. A rep from one of the nic vendors wrote, on these forums, not to shake nic, ever. Hmmm?

Was that with a VG base? PG? Both?

I’m assuming their recommendation was to not diffuse headroom oxygen into the solution, which will to some extent foster oxidation. I have seen more product bottles state on the label shake well before using. I’m fairly confident that most of the product we receive has pretty good distribution (homogenization) of the nicotine & base when received, but there is also a school of thought that some chemical separation is bound to happen over time. (I am of this thought). It is widely held that VG based nicotine can produce hot spots over time. Being one that always shakes (lol), VG is much harder to work with.

While we were all talking about the NIC and the FREEZE, I was reminded of an older thread, so I checked it, and power scrolled through, saved some pics and dates for you guys. He started out, simply comparing Freezing vs. Room Temp, and ended up expanding the tests further. 60+ pages in the thread.
F=Freezer
RT=Room Temp.

I don’t think the amber colored room temp nic would taste very good.

I think D’man’s post above regarding the timed comparison of freezer vs room temperature done by Rossum shows why that is a weird recommendation…

I’m pretty sure the reason for that statement is they are concerned about repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

NON-issue, just deep freeze, and leave it.
