How long does frozen nic last?

[DougB]

If stored in the freezer will it still be good past the date on the label and if so, how long, if anyone knows? I purchased mine from Vapers Tek and I am curious. Thanks.

There was a long discussion about this over on ECF. I think the conclusion was at least 2 years, but I believe someone had stored it longer (I can't remember how long, but I'm thinking it was 4 years, which was the longest anyone had stored it?).

^ Thanks very much. I appreciate the information.

Someone help me out with this. Was it that it simply starts losing it's strength, or was there more involved? Thanks for the post @DougB.

It will eventually oxidize. How fast it does that will vary depending on how it is handled. Mostly it will start to turn colors, get a bit harsh and peppery and lose a little potency.

I believe that if stored as airtight as possible the issue was with the nic losing potency. I know test kits were used to check, but I can't remember what else I read in that thread!

Ditto, lol.
