Jeffb Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 My mother -in-law made me some watermelon flavored juice. The flavor was good and strong. Well, today I had to drive to a meeting in another city. I was happily vaping my watermelon on the way. I left the juice in the car and spent 3 hours in the meeting. It was about 85 degrees here in SoCal so that means the car temp was probably around 95. I got back in my car, and the juice which was originally pink, was now a tan color. I still decided to vape it anyways. Absolutely all the flavor was gone and it tasted kinda nasty. So let this be a lesson to you, keep your juice away from heat and direct sunlight.

Christopher Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yup! This is part of the secret to Vapor Talk's juice, we monitor the storage temperature of the juice closely. If you take Dulcis for example and place it in the car for 4 + hours in weather hotter than 95 it will turn orange. Definitely throw that bottle away. By the way heat will also break down nicotine and reduce it's potency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks for the heads up guys. As I commute and am in a service van all day, I usually have a couple of bottles of juice with me. Maybe I should keep a small cooler with me just for that reason (the wife says I need to eat lunch anyway so there is a good reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddavelarsen Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Wow, good info Jeff! Summer is coming and there's a good likelihood I'd have left some valuable juice in the car at some point. Chris, what's the 'ideal' storage temp? I have mine at room temp, which is about 71 degrees. Does humidity affect it even in storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be a big buttinski...its almost like Christopher is here...spooky ;-) http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/4509-e-liquid-question/page__view__findpost__p__39606 Christopher might still want to address ideal. And I can't believe humidity would really affect juice once its in the small 10/30 ml bottles. But then again, what do I know?

ddavelarsen Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks Joe. Yeah, I can't imagine how humidity could affect a sealed container either; just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post I linked to he did caution against moisture...I just noticed Dulcis is in a 0 nic now? Creating a post in the store section...this is fantastic...

Uma Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm so glad I followed Scizo... Schizo... (how do you spell his name?)... 's advice and purchased an Insulin bag. The icepacks should help keep my juice nice and cool. For now, the coleman igloo is my main fridge and setting it on the floor keeps everything nice and cold. Anybody want a beer? :::making a mental note to hurry up with that deep cell battery so I can plug in my igloo thingie::: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 That makes me think it might be a good idea to store my juice in the refrigerator when I'm out camping. What do y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Uma, tell the hubby of yours that I don't drive. I don't have a license. That would be why MY hubby would tell me that. LOL I drove for a while. I decided stressed out Teri should NOT be on the road. When you have to spend 5 minutes unclamping your hand from the steering wheel, it is a clue you should let someone else drive.
