Hi, hope everyone is keeping well, bit of a stupid question, my pg,vg and nic turned up today but I didn’t think about nozzles for the bottles, should I just pour some of each in to smaller bottles then refill them as needed, more worried about spilling my precious Nic more then anything lol

That is what i do. With the nic i pour it in to 120ml glass bottles then shrink wrap, place in a ziplock and pop it in the freezer. I wrap it in case there is breakage. When it is time for a new bottle of nic i transfer it from glass to 120ml PET bottles and store it in the fridge.

PG i just keep in a cold dark place, same as VG.

PS: If when transferring you get any on your skin stop what you are doing and clean it immediately. Make sure you use rubber gloves. Getting nic sick SUCKS!

Thank you, currently have my Nic in my Fridge, think I’ll need to order some extra bottles and maybe get a few Funnels for transferring them over

Nobody uses argon gas to prevent their nic oxidizing?

I used to but i have a bottle of 11 year old nic in the freezer that i take and out test every once in awhile, it is still clearish, titrates the same and tastes the same so i stopped using inert gasses.

Thanks for bumping this @Ken_O_Where, somehow I missed it.

@DaveR1 I top of ALL of my deep storage NIC with Argon, to aid in reducing as much oxidation as I can. These are big bottles, with about 1" of headspace, and left untouched for long periods in Med. grade freezers @ -35F. How much of a difference does it make ? Who knows. I’ve got soo much invested, a few cans of Argon was cheap in comparison.

@Ken_O_Where

You’ve got 11+ year old NIC that titrates at or about the same level as new ? What temp you keeping it at ? I think my oldest MIGHT be 7-8 year old NIC Armor NIC. Gotta check the date stamp, and extract some and see how IT fares.
