Poppers in the fridge: impractical & unhealthy
Storing poppers in the refrigerator is not only impractical, but also unhealthy. Poppers are classic chemicals. After all, in practical everyday life no one would think of storing other chemicals such as brush cleaner or nitro thinner close to their favorite food. In addition, it is not impossible that other users of the refrigerator confuse the poppers with other liquids such as small drinks. A wrong grip on the poppers bottle could be fatal in the worst case. And who wants their own parents or partner to find the poppers in the fridge?
Advantages of dark, cool storage
Poppers require dark, cool storage. Therefore, you might think, the refrigerator is a good place to store after all. However, you should distinguish between unopened and new bottles and bottles that have already been opened.
Long storage of unopened bottles
When dealing with new and not yet opened bottles, there is nothing to be said against storing these containers at room temperature in their own cabinet or drawer. When unopened, you can store poppers under these conditions for several months at room temperature. Finally, it is mostly common that poppers are also stored at room or cellar temperature after their production during transportation, wholesale or retail.
Tips in dealing with opened poppers bottles
However, once you have opened the poppers bottle, the substance threatens to slowly decompose in interaction with room air. After the first opening of the bottle, you can use the poppers without hesitation for about a month at room temperature. Once opened, please make sure that you do not store the bottles under sunlight or next to a radiator. Instead, you should store the substances in Tupperware or ZIP bags in a dark place. True, you can put the popper bottles in drawers or in cabinets. However, the best place for storage is the cellar. Cellars are mostly dark and cool, without being too cold. If you store the poppers in Tupperware or ZIP bags as recommended, the poppers will also stay fresh for four to five weeks at room temperatures.
No more than a myth
If you store the substances in the freezer or refrigerator, however, you should plan their use carefully. Because poppers work best at room temperature, optimal storage in the refrigerator is really just a myth.
