What is the shelf life of e-juice?

[Bababooey]

Anybody know the shelf life of the juice? Does refrigeration help?

[strell]

Roughly a year from everything I've read, with refrigeration potentially helping. I'm sure there are others here with more direct experience, as I've only been vaping for about three months and keep using up juice. We've been stocking up with lots of orders though, so maybe we'll get to test how long it lasts.

Aside from the shelf life question, how much juice do you go thru a month?

Well, what exactly would happen to the juice when it "expires" ?

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

What exactly happens when it expires?
How would we know its useless?

It turn flavor back to the orignal make up.

SO if you purchased watermelon juice and let it sit for 1 year and 1 day it will turn back to a watermelon. JUST JOKING....

My guess is that the nicotine my loose some strength and freshness. Don't know since I have not had a bottle sitting on my shelf for over a year. Also small impurities might culture over time (but this is just a guess).

I'm in for educated answers.



I have some to take care of.

I think 2 years was mentioned here before. My bigger bottles I have refrigerated (like the 500ml ones)....the smaller ones I haven't yet. But I think if I ever lived in some extremely hot weather, I might do that too. I don't know if excessive heat makes a difference with the liquid, but I'm just saying what I would do. As of now, my bottles are pretty much out in the open but it's always "average" temperature in my house.

I've relegated my vaping to the evening hours and sometimes in the morning, so I don't go through much - maybe 5 mL a month. My wife vapes while she works and generally all evening after dinner and I figure she goes through 10-15 mL a month. It's hard to tell because we have so many bottle of liquid around and we've only completely emptied a couple of small 4 mL samplers.

I think it would last about 2 years and others have said that also. All nic gum and mints have a 2 year expiration date on them.
