95 bottles of juice in a bag

[Gigi79]

Hi all!

I went to the vape summit in houston yesterday and am trying to figure out how to get through the 75+ bottles of free juice I got (I already had a good 15 from my local shops already). I was thinking I would just fill my tank, and slide the bottle to a different storage location until I sampled them all. Unless anyone else has a better technique, especially if I end up with a "the one" juice in the midst of it all.

My main question is, how long is juice good for?

With a haul like this, I don't think I'll need to buy any juice for a year.

From what I've been told, the shelf life of eliquids is about 2 years, more or less. You should be all set with your happy stash!

That many sample would take me forever to test each one.
I think I'd open each and sniff them and see if it's of the flavor profile I know I like and try those first.
I'd do it in a dripper that's easy to replace the cotton in quickly,but I've seen people recommend bridgeless 510 atimizers that look like cartomizers that use no wicks at all.

I've only been vaping for about two months. I'm not ready for a dripper yet. I did play with one at the summit but it just seemed way too overwhelming and something I just can commit the time and effort to. Lol

I'm "scared to drip" at this point

DasFriek has good advice (as usual), so don't overlook what he said about the sniff test.
I'd break them into categories (dessert, fruit, tobacco, etc), looking up descriptions if needed, then try to find best-in-class for each!

That is way too much juice for a newbie. You should send most of it to me!

Vape as much as you can. Most will be in the garbage in 3-6 months. The stuff goes bad quick. Set your friends up. Whatever u wanna do...

Not even close. 3 months tops...maybe 6. Yea it depends on the juice but they go bad quickly. In way less then 2 years they will be blackish brown and yo won't be able to salvage the bottles either.

You seem pretty experienced, but proper storage must play a role in shelf life. I bought a bottle of Lion Head Sahara Punch at Madvapes, 8 months after the bottling date. The juice was light orange in color, and tasted sweet and creamy.

It sure wouldn't hurt to keep the caps on tight in a cool, dark cabinet, though. Refrigerated in glass would probably extend them a lot, if you want to go to the trouble.

If stored properly, an opened bottle of juice will last about 1 year. If unopened and stored properly, 2 years.

But hey, if it tastes bad, don't vape it

I'm jelly!

Kind of like WharfRat, I'm guessing you'll toss a good many after a short trial. I probably wouldn't even test anything close to a full tank. Refrigerate, but do NOT freeze that stuff and you can probably expect a year or more in storage for most of them. In any case, store in a cool, dark area. If the light really goes out like it's supposed to, refrigerators are cool and dark.

I had a handbag full when I went to ECC in Sept. I sorted them by flavor and strength, set aside all those I knew I liked and some I thought I'd like. I've used some by giving them to friends who expressed an interest in vaping, hoping having some juice would inspire them to take the next step. I have some boxed up to send in to our little pay it forward thing here, I just have to remember to take it to the post office. The rest are in a box and I'll eventually vape 'em or give them away.
