I have been in a bit of a European TPD panic recently and have been buying nicotine each time I had some spare money. Did not realise quite how much I had bought until today when I went to put it all in 150ml brown chemical bottles with nitrogen for storage. Need to buy more bottles and I only use about 10ml @3mg/ml juice per day, talk about a lifetime supply.
Going to feel a right idiot if my fears are unfounded. On the other hand I should be able to make a nice profit if I do go 0 nic.
I'm at 3L currently. 30 x 100ml PG with 48mg. I will probably add an additional 3L and some ready to vape base until judgement day is upon us in the EU.
How do you store your base? In a freezer or without additional precautions?

Even if it's not the TPD that's shitting on everyone's parade, it will be the impending taxes on e-liquid.
I have it stored in these bottles and I have replaced the air in the top with a nitrogen gas wine preserver. Then they are in the bottom of a dedicated freezer which I have fixed a lock to.
I already bought my storage base in brown glass bottles topped of with nitrogen. But I'm still arguing with myself, if I should put them in the freezer (I don't have a dedicated one), or if my basement will suffice. Right now it isn't a problem, since it's cold enough either way. But during the summer it could be too warm even in the basement. An extra freezer probably won't be the worst idea...
A dedicated freezer will mean less disturbance and temperature variation so less degradation and more safety, keep your eyes open for a cheap second hand one.
I have read that a freezer would not make a huge difference to long term storage but I don't think it can hurt.
Word on the street is at the end of the year you will not be able to buy over 36mg nic (don't quote me it might be 48?). Without having to pay a 40 dollar hazmat charge on top of shipping charges. I believe all packages will have to come through ups of fed-ex. Now this is all hearsay but I will find the post and edit. This came from a post from nicotine river so I would believe they would know.
I live in the UK and our impending laws are even more draconian. No stronger then 20mg/ml and only legal to be sold in 10ml bottles.
While I agree that the law is ridiculous, I don't know how anyone finds such a high nic content juice pleasurable to vape.
I have 1L of 48mg nc PG, which equals 16L of 3mg, with a habit of vaping 0-6ml per day, that is enough for the next 10 years and I plan on going down with the nicotine again next year. I also have half a Liter of liquid ready right now and another half Liter of 3mg 50/50 base.
I thought about maybe buying another liter, so I can sell it later on when you can't just get it anymore and I don't need any more nicotine.
Such a shame we are being driven to do this.
Yes, it is. Fuck the EU, in Germany it was just decided that Companies can keep producing however they want until this October and we can continue buying until May 2017.
I have one Vapor Giant v2, which is the only atomizer I use, and a ZNA30-clone and a Smok m65, I guess I will buy 2 or 3 more Boxmods, in case mine craps out, but otherwise I am set for the next few years, but I would much prefer it, if they would just fuck off and leave us alone.
