Hey all. In just got 2 liters of nicotine from NudeNicotine. I was just wondering if I could stick it in the freezer in the tall plastic bottles it comes in.
I have a few small amber glass bottles, but no where near enough for all my nicotine.
Thanks.
My advice: put it in the freezer for now, but put in an order ASAP for a sufficient amount of glassware to hold all of it, & as soon as that arrives, sanitize the bottles & transfer the base to them. Refrigeration will slow down leaching, but it won't stop it entirely.
Also, little tip: put the bottles in plastic ziploc bags before putting them in the freezer so any condensation/frost is on the baggie instead of directly on the bottle.
Hope this helps!
So, I left my nude nic unrefrigerated for maybe 2 weeks before I put it in the freezer. Its been in a zip lock ever since. I've been using it in all my mixes but is it still safe? I think it has that peppery smell everyone talks about. It's pretty strong.
Are you smelling the nicotine solution directly? If so.. that's normal. Don't sniff it too much lol I wiffed it one time when I wasn't thinking and got super light headed (doh).
I did the same thing. I thought the light headed feeling was me being paranoid. But yes, I put my nose right up to the opening of the bottle of nic and sniffed it good and it was pretty pungent. I'm hoping that the 2 weeks it was unrefrigerated didn't taint it enough to make my mixes harsh or less enjoyable.
/u/zerotoleranceftw has the right of it here. 2 weeks is nothing unless you've been storing it open on a windowsill during the day and in a running oven at night. Normal storage at room temp isn't going to affect things much if at all, at worst maybe a barely noticeable increase in harshness if you vape 18mg/mL mixes, but otherwise I strongly doubt it'd even be detectable.
Also, you asked about safety - taste will degrade long before safety even approaches becoming a concern.
TL;DR: you're fine. :)
YESYESYES! Dont fret about transfer to glass unless we're talking about a prolonged storage of 2-6mo
Thanks. I guess you would know better than anyone else haha :)
Do have to say though, I love your nicotine. So much better than other places I've tried.
