Freeze or refrigerate?

So, I've been using 35 units of the T105 30-1-10 Trimix for a while now. Thought I'd upgrade to T106 30-1-25 when I ran out in January. I put the T106 in the fridge two weeks ago and finally used some last night. I noticed that the T106 says to "Store in Freezer" instead of "Refrigerate" like the T105 did. Is there a reason for this? The T106 has more of the PGE but still has the same ingredients. Do the stronger prescriptions for Trimix require keeping in the freezer?

The PGE degrades fairly quickly if not frozen. If the PGE is just a minor component of the mix it may not matter much. When it becomes a major component of the mix degradation of the PGE will have a larger impact on the strength. Follow the instructions and freeze it.

I have this little plastic box (it originally contained lunch meat) and keep the 10ml trimix vial and filled syringes in the freezer at all times. When it comes time for a wife date, I take one syringe out while my wife and I shower. It defrosts in about six or seven minutes. If you need it to defrost more quickly, hold it in your mouth sideways like a dog holds a bone, this way it defrosts in half that time. I'm currently using 13 units of Olympia's T-106.
