You're set for a LONG time. I have the same amount in my freezer. Someone posted a calculator here, for lazy people like me, lol. I think it said I'm good for around 13 years, or so, and I vape 8-9mg. I'd say you're good for a while, lol.

I'm at 2.2% NIC and ok with it.
What I'd like to reduce is my total juice consumption.
Currently at 45ml / day.
If I can get to 20ml / day I'd safe a few $.
Then again with as much as I enjoy my ADV I don't see any reductions in my future.

zaptear I'd say you're doing it right between the freezer and vacuum packing your NIC.
Good job.
Feel free to come over to separate and vacuum seal my 2 gallons of NIC.
I'll patiently wait on you while I vape.

Yeah I posted a thing about how much juice i can make with one 120 ml bottle of 100 mg/ml nic at 0.2, yes 0.2, mg. It would all go bad or I will be dead before I can use it.

I almost bought more but don't see the need.

Maybe you will nap some too.

I have 2 Litres of 72MG nicotine in the freezer (72MG is the highest strength we can get in the UK) due to the TPD coming into force next month, and 20MG and 10ML bottles being the most you can buy in the future.
I should be sorted for many years as I vape at 3MG.

What are the regulations the FDA have/ are bringing in in regards to nicotine? I hope it isn't as strict as what has happened here, and if it is, all you DIY'ers have a nice stock in your freezers ready to give them the middle finger and carry on making your own juice :)

I'm in the U.S. and am less concerned with the FDA than I am in our tax and spend elected officials. Some local/state areas are already starting to feel the pinch. The nic. I can buy now could cost me 10 or more times the $ amount in the future.

Ouch, that would be a big hit price wise. How much does nicotine currently cost you? It cost me around £35-40 for a litre of 72MG, this will no longer be available, and the new TPD compliant 10ML, 18MG bottles are £15.99 for 18 bottles. So 180ML of 18MG is now near £16, which is a massive increase compared to what was available to everyone.

I guess I would have to decrease nic if I was still using high numbers. That will extend it.

Good question!

When I buy nic. it's never been less than 1 ltr. Over the past few years it's been anywhere between $40-150. I'm considering my next purchase from 4 different vendors. If I had to pick one right now; it would probably be $92 (plus shipping ~ around 12 bucks~) from VT.

Since it's EU sourced, that choice might also help your price comparison.

I am storing my nicotine in the cardboard boxes. I have stacked the nicotine bottles in the moving boxes we brought from Burlington. Then wrapped it in the plastic wrappers. Sealed it tightly with tape in order to avoid moisture absorption. Then placed it in the freezer. After my usage, I keep it back in the freezer with tight sealing.
