Poppers storage, preservation and shelf life

Poppers are becoming increasingly popular in the LGBTQAI community and beyond due to their effect. Because the small bottles are used up quickly, many people order them in larger quantities to stock up. In this case, however, the question of correct poppers storage arises. In this article, you will find all the important information about the storage and shelf life of poppers.

How to store poppers correctly after ordering

Poppers are usually ordered online, for example from the online store at poppers-online.ch. They are then sent to you by post and all you have to do is unpack the discreetly and anonymously packaged bottles and store them in a suitable place.

Poppers shelf life: How do I store opened bottles and how long do they keep?

Poppers bottles do not usually have a best-before date. If left unopened and in their original packaging, the bottles will normally keep for several months if stored correctly. If you then open them and store them in a dark and cool place, they will last for up to four weeks, during which you can have fun with them. After that, the compounds will have volatilized to such an extent that the poppers will be less effective and should be disposed of. It is not advisable to use old poppers. There is a risk of irritating your nasal septum or bronchial tubes through inhalation. In addition, old poppers can cause severe headaches.

Why is storage in the fridge not a good idea?

It does not make sense to store poppers in such a way because they are accessible to other people and could be confused with drink shots, for example. In addition, it is not at all necessary to chill sealed poppers so much. They will also keep at room temperature for a longer period of time. The only important thing is that you store the poppers in a dark place, such as a cellar. However, you can also store them in a lockable drawer in your bedroom, which is often a little cooler anyway.

The situation is slightly different for poppers that have already been opened. These last for about a month at room temperature before they evaporate and lose their effect. Open poppers are best packed in a sealable zip bag and can then be stored in a dark place at 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. You should also not store opened poppers bottles in the fridge. Poppers develop their strongest effect at room temperature.

How do I transport poppers in summer?

Especially in the warm summer months, taking poppers with you to trendy events or parties is a challenge. Although the small bottles fit in a trouser pocket or shoulder bag, they are not protected against leakage or breakage, for example. The Poppers Keeper is the perfect means of transportation when out and about in summer. It not only offers protection from prying eyes, but also ensures that the poppers are protected from leaking or breaking and also from excessive heat.

Why are poppers storage depots a good idea?

Imagine you have poppers stored in a drawer or cupboard and one of the bottles falls over and leaks. Apart from the fact that poppers have corrosive properties and can damage clothing, the whole room would probably smell of poppers for a long time. What’s more, you would probably have to do a lot of cleaning to remove the spilled poppers. It’s much more practical to store the poppers in such a way that they don’t fall over and leak. Manufacturers have come up with some ideas here and offer various transportation and storage solutions. Would you like to keep your home tidy and have your poppers quickly to hand? The poppers storage depot offers space for two or four poppers bottles. You can simply place it in the drawer and store the different poppers in it so that they don’t get mixed up. Even with the XTRM Holder flat, poppers stay where you place them and don’t fall over.

For this reason, poppers storage depots are a sensible purchase. What’s more, such a depot makes it much easier to organize your poppers, so you don’t have to search for them for long.

How long can poppers keep?

Once opened, the poppers will keep for about a month. During this time, you should store, enjoy and consume them properly. If stored unopened in a cool, dark place, they will keep for several months.

Where can I get fresh poppers?

Are your poppers almost empty and you need a refill? Then all you have to do is look online. At specialized suppliers such as poppers-online.ch, you will only find poppers from brand manufacturers. The poppers available in the store are sent to you promptly so that you always have fresh poppers in stock.

Old poppers: How to tell if it's good/fresh

Fresh poppers have a unique smell that tells you they are still good. However, if your poppers smell foul or musty, you should dispose of them. In the past, so-called power pellets were added to some poppers (e.g. 25 ml for White Rush or 25 ml for Rush Black Fire). They absorb moisture from the air and prevent the poppers from evaporating too quickly. If they have already absorbed too much moisture, decomposed and are only recognizable as an indefinable, slimy mass in the bottle, the poppers are old. You can also tell when a poppers is no longer good by its diminishing effect.

How do I dispose of poppers correctly?

If you have old poppers in the house, there are two different ways to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way and without risk to your health or the health of others. One of the two methods even offers you the chance to reuse old poppers.

Although it sounds unusual, the first option ensures cleanliness and saves money. How does it work? Quite simply by using the leftovers in the poppers bottle as a cleaner. For example, you can use the leftover liquid to clean dirty sneakers, clean mirrors or clean windows. You can even use the leftover poppers to remove paint from furniture. You don’t need to worry about the smell, because the typical poppers smell of old poppers has evaporated in the meantime. So nobody will notice what you are using.

To protect the environment when disposing of poppers, you can first store the almost empty poppers bottles until a larger quantity has been collected. Then simply take them to a waste or chemical disposal site where they will be treated and disposed of properly. You should never simply dispose of the remains of the poppers bottle in the toilet or sink. In this way, the nitrite can migrate into the groundwater and lead to contamination. To prevent nitrite from entering the environment, you should also never wash out the old poppers bottles. This can also release residues into the water cycle. Poppers are chemicals, which is why they should always be disposed of in the same way as you dispose of other household chemicals.
