Tryptamine shelf life

First of all, let me make it clear that I am not a chemist, so some of my questions might be stupid. I tried the search function here and got some useful information, but I'm looking for something a little more specific. Basically, I was wondering what the relative shelf lives of the RC tryptamines are, assuming high purity, solid form, and storage in airtight glass containers in a cool dark place.

Are there any that are notably longer or shorter lived than the others? How might one go about increasing their longevity in storage? Are there potential dangers to using any of them, once they're "past their expiration date"?

I am specifically interested in:
5-MeO-DALT
DIPT
4-HO-DIPT
4-HO-MIPT
Though information on any of the others (especially the cool ones ;)) would also be appreciated .


This is my first post here, so if I'm breaking any rules of etiquette I apologize and would welcome correction.
 
In the right conditions they could be stored indefinitely. And you seem to have it down. Cool, dark, dry, and airtight. That's all it takes. Freezer is unnecessary and could potentially cause moisture.
 
4-ho-dipt and 4-ho-mipt are more prone to degrade than the others. Not really sure about dipt. I think 5-meo-dalt is probably pretty stable, seems 5-sub trypts are generally more stable than 4-subs.

As for storage: light, and heat exposure should be kept to a minimum. Keep them dry, especially if you have them in a fridge or freezer. Keep them as sealed away from atmosphere as possible.

I think they will last a good few years if you store them right. I tried a 6 month old sample of 4-ho-mipt recently and it seemed fine. Sample was stored in a cool basement.
 
I believe 4-HO-MiPT (miprocin) has been reported to degrade somewhat quicker than a lot of the others...
If it turns grey, that means it's going bad.

I however, had some miprocin for about a year and it was fine (but it was frozen). The trick for the freezer (to not get moisture in) is NOT to open the mason jar right when you take it out. Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour for the condensation goes away and for it to return to RT before opening. Also throw some silica gel in there.
