Knowing Your Poppers
A guide from APoppers,com
What are Poppers?
Poppers are cleaning solvents that have been around for decades. They’re known for being volatile - which means they don’t stay fresh forever once opened. How you store them makes all the difference.
Shelf Live: Unopened vs. Opened
Unopened bottles: Stay fresh for up to 12 months if stored correctly (cool, dark, and stable temperature) Perfect for bulk buying.
Opened Bottles: Once the seal is broken air begins to break down the nitrite. Within a few weeks - about a month , the potency will decline noticeably.
Buzz Tip **”Unopened? keep it chill in the fridge. Opened? Room temp is better. Fresh is always best”
Storage Do’s & Don’ts
Do:
Store unopened bottles in refrigerator to maximize shelf life
Keep opened bottles at room temperature, out of sunlight
Buy extra bottles and store them properly - fresh backups are your best friend.
Don’t:
Freeze your poppers - the chemistry doesn’t like it
Leave bottles in hot car, hear heaters, or in direct sunlight
Expose them to extreme temperature swing - this leads to brown, smell liquid that’s ready for the trash
Why Freshness Matters
Fresh bottles = stronger effect
Old bottles = weak, smelly, and wasted money
Anyone who has ever forgotten a bottle in a glovebox or sunny windowsill knows: Heat kills poopers fast.
Stock smart, Stay Fresh
Buying bulk? Unopened bottles stay fresh for a year when stored properly
Once Opened, plan or replacing after about a month to guarantee freshness
That’s why many of our customers keep a few backup bottles sealed, while rotating a fresh one open
10ml vs 30ml - Which size is right for You?
10ml Bottles:
Perfect for occasional users or those who just want to keep a small bottle on hand.
Great for anyone who likes to try different varieties without committing to a larger size.
Easy to carry discreetly in your pocket or travel kit.
Larger selection or products to choose from
30ml Bottles:
Best value for regular or heavier users.
A 30ml bottle contains 3 times as much at 10ml, but usually cost less than buying two 10ml bottles.
Some argue the larger bottles stay fresh longer once opened
Fewer reorders, less hassle
Buzz’s Tips:
Many customers keep a couple of 10mls for variety and portability, but rely on a 30ml as their go-to bottle. Some also like to keep 10ml on hand for guests - because let’s be real, sometimes when the guest leaves…the bottle leaves too.
Try to only keep one or two bottles open at a time, since the shelf live goes down once the bottle is opened.
Always store and extra bottle or two as backup - you never want to run out if misplace your last one.
