18 mo-24 mo old liquid

[Mapultz]

I bought a well known brand of liquid from a third party store online, one I've used before. They were having a sale on a bunch of different brands.

Received them today and one has a born on date of 12/2013 and the other 9/2013.

I have 2 questions:
1. Is this normal practice when buying from a third party? I've never bought liquid from anyone but the maker or local b&m

2. Would you vape this liquid?

I've already emailed the store, but I wanted some unbiased opinions.

In my opinion, way too old. I would say that my limit would be 6 month from a supplier on discount clearance and the age should be advertised. Now I may vape some older, but that is from my own stash, not bought that old.

I double checked the site to make sure it didn't say anything about the age. It didn't.

I've bought from a local B&M that was 1 year old as I was assured that it would be good for 2 years. It was weak and not very satisfying and I believe they were re-labelled to appear newer. If they don't have some disclaimer that it's fresh made, you may be SOL. Sorry to tell you that. I have 1 year old juice that I made myself and it's very good and if it has lost any strength in nic, I can't tell. I've never done a nic test but I don't feel that it has lost much if any at all.

I wasn't expecting fresh made, but something made within last year would be nice.

Most e liquids have an expiry date, i have vaped e liquid which was out of date and it was fine, certain flavours such as the sweet ones tasted weaker, but the tobacco flavours were not really noticeable. If its a reputable brand i am sure they have done tests to ensure the nicotine content stays at the amount stated on the label.

Well they emailed back and said that "Our liquid manufacturers have assured us the expiration date on e-liquid is two years from the born on date. They have said the only thing that happens when liquid expires is the nicotine level begins to become less potent and it does not affect flavor."

I'm still not thrilled about this. I really don't want to vape something that has been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 years.

I just read another thread where someone got juice the same way you did and it was over a year or so old. Was it by any chance some Hangsen flavors? If so, there seem to be some unscrupulous people out there that are getting their hands on some really old Chinese juices and reselling them. If not Hangsen, then there is another unscrupulous vendor out there

Not Hangsen - the juice is Flavorz by Joe.

I just emailed Flavorz to ask them what they thought about almost 2 year old juice being sold by a vendor. Will update when they respond.

I don't really buy into the expirations on most e-juice. I have vaped some stuff a buddy had that he gave me that was about 30 months old and just shook it for a few minutes, added to tank, vaped away and it still tasted great

Wow anyways look on the good side of the deal---you can't say this ejuice has not been steeped----2 years it should almost be ready

to put into tanks or dripper.

I don't honestly think there is anything wrong with the juice if it tastes good I would vape it.

Some of my juices that I've collected are almost 2 years old. pic below
