Before TPD makes nicotine base unavailable in the current strengths and quantities, I want to stock up and freeze some VG based nicotine. I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems freezing it is best, in amber glass bottles. Also, a particular kind of lid is recommended, a phenolic polycone lid. Unfortunately I can't find these lids in the UK, or bottles that have them, but I have found these:

Amber bottles with polypropylene polycone lids. WIll it make a difference that it is PP and not phenolic? I read on one site that PP becomes brittle when frozen, but then when researching that statement wikipedia says it is very good at freezing temperatures...
Any advice on whether these bottles/lids will be good for long term frozen storage (2-3 years)?
Also, I was planning on using these smaller bottles to store the liquid I make. I chose the lid purely because I like how it looks and it will be easy to drain completely with a pipette, to be honest,because it doesn't have to be freezer safe or worry about long term leeching/seeping. But, I do want to double check if the lids are okay because they have something called a PVDC lining, and I'm wondering if it is suitable for storing eliquid and whether or not it will degrade or affect the liquid over time as it will be reused a lot, obviously.
