For storing for a few years, it does make a difference.diver22 said:

It's ok to just put the essential oil case in the freezerMingHenry said:
At least that's what I'm doing. I put a label on each vial when I get them with source, date, fill, pep name, etc and I have a separate case for each product. Right now, I am only using two but each case has a single letter on it (S) or (T) to denote what is inside. I did put a tiny ice pack in there but considering the thermal mass of everything else in the freezer, this is probably unnecessary.
If you got room, I would put a couple frozen water bottles in the freezer as a whole. Not much has as much thermal mass as water.

I assume the fear is loss of vacuum in the vials over time causing moisture intrusion?scarywood75 said:

I might give that a try soon just to see how easy, or annoying the process is.scarywood75 said:
A word of caution though, as someone who hoards meat and food like many here are hoarding peps, the consumer grade vacuum sealers, while great, do NOT hold up nearly as well as the thicker stuff that the packing plants use.
Over the course of a year, about 1/4 of all the things that I vacuum sealed have started loosing vacuum. I recently switched to a thicker plastic but the machine has a hard time melting those together for a good seal. It's not going to stop me from trying it as the idea seems great but I would not be shocked to find that after a year, some of the bags have lost their vacuum.

Yes this is good advice, I just started doing that, so I'll keep an eye on it and reseal as needed.SmokeySquid said:
I also added some molecular sieve (desiccant) before vacuum sealing to remove any residual humidity.

I have been thinking about this all day but if you were going to do this, would you try and seal every individual vial or just an entire kit? I am going to see how well I can seal and individual vial this weekend and selfishly, I hope they fit in my nice foam case after they are sealedscarywood75 said:
And if it works, come to my house and do mine!SmokeySquid said:I have been thinking about this all day but if you were going to do this, would you try and seal every individual vial or just an entire kit?

I'm doing one kit per Mylar bags (yeah I use those opaque ones).SmokeySquid said:I have been thinking about this all day but if you were going to do this, would you try and seal every individual vial or just an entire kit?

So far so good aha, will see how it holds up over time

You guys are making me look bad. I might as well store them outside next to food for raccoons compared to all this lol!
So funny! I'm down to essential oil cases, with desiccant packs inside a plastic bag. In a mini freezer that is manual defrost. Needed because our fridge/freezer isn't super spacious.mostlydamp said:
