Does it stop producing vapor?
Nicotine doesn't work?

How would we know its useless?

The nicotine definitely dissipates over time. The vapor comes from the PG/VG, so that is still there.

You would know when you weren't getting the nicotine!

And I am speaking from personal experience here - some extra high strength stuff left over from my first try at ecigs about 15 months ago. Still vapes, but much less nicotine hit than when fresh.

Hey were you listening to the show when Jose Canseco came in for an interview...He was pushing "Smoke anywhere" e-cigs lol.
That's where I first learned about e-cigs,but I got home from work and did some due diligence and found better suppliers and better Personal vaporizers for sure.
I heard Sal the stockbroker was vaping some e-cig samples
(a month later) that Canseco left at the studio.

2 Year Shelf Liquid for ALL liquids?

This thread is addressing the same issue

According to : Journal of Archaeological Science, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2002, Pages 897-907
Sean M. Rafferty, Nicotine has a potential "shelf life" of around 100 years. So buy 1000 batteries, 500 Atomizers, and many many gallons of Nicotine liquid, and anyone can circumnavigate around any FDA ban

One other point : How do we know how fresh the juice is i.e. the Nicotine when we buy it?
