What's the oldest flavoring you have on hand?

[cookiebun]

If I recall correctly one year is supposed to be the shelf life of flavorings. Does everyone actually observe this? If no, what's the oldest flavoring you have in your stash?
I have a box full of unopened flavorings that are over 2 years old. I may give them a go.

Would be interested in knowing this myself.

I like the popcorn.

I have some that are probably 3 years old, at least, opened and in use. The flavor may be a bit muted, but nothing off. They are stored in a cool dark place.

I keep mine in the fridge and some are over a year old and still fine.
I don't figure they will get dangerous/spoiled but may get tasting wonky or weak.

That is some blenders shelf life recommendations. I suspect there are many factors that govern the usefulness of a flavor over a given time. Best test, protect it, use it and if it does not please, and you know it should, replace with a better rated or same flavor.

I have some 4 yrs old stored in the dark and they seem fine, not refrigerated. I am going to try them and see how they taste but they smell good

I have some from a FA group buy mid 2011. Stored in glass, cool and dark place. Still good.

I have a few FA flavorings from June 2011 that are still good. They are in glass containers and have been kept in a cool, dark, dry place, not refrigerated. Other flavorings from 2012 and 2013 are also still perfectly fine. All kept in glass containers in a cool, dark, dry place.

Just Made a batch of Nutzilla, I purchased the flavor in 2012 and it still tastes just fine to me.

 

[dannyv45]

My oldest is from 2012 and I just moved them to glass bottles. Tried my oldest from early 2012 and it's still good.

I keep mine in the bottom 2 shelves of my vape cabinet (stands on the floor).
Lower = cooler.
It never gets over 80F in here probably 77F at floor level.
I've been vaping DIY FW Cheesecake this week that was manufactured in 7/2014.
The 4oz bottle has only been opened 5 or less times for less than a minute total.
Tastes great/less filling

I just checked temps with my 1950's-1960's TEL-TRU room thermometer.
It reads 79F next to the newish house temp-control that reads 78F. TRUth is relative.
It reads 76F at the floor so probably an actual 75F
