I hope it is at least 2 years or longer. I got about 2,000ml of it. Guess I'll just have to sell some. Anyone looking.....?

8-o Good lawd, that's like 66 bottles!

I heard the 2 yr. thing too. I think maybe keeping it in dark bottles would help too.

But when I read this, well, I dunno...

Several big US and British tobacco companies have experimented with adding nicotine to finished cigarettes, either by spraying it on, injecting it into the wrapper or by including it in the filter tips. Nicotine is a highly volatile compound and has a short shelf-life, dissipating rapidly unless "fixed" in a chemical compound. The dots sealed the nicotine until exposed to moisture or heat. They also allowed the cigarette manufacturer to control the position on the cigarette at which the cigarette would deliver the most nicotine.

Revealed: the nicotine fix - News - The Independent

Maybe someone who has had a bottle over a year or two can comment on whether they still had their nicotine kick with an older supply of ejuice.

But I just read that: Propylene Glycol is a "Very effective humectant, preservative and stabilizer in semi-moist pet food (with the exception of cat food), bakery goods, food flavorings and salad dressings"

So I guess that puts the question back at square one...

The instruction booklet that came with my Pilot reads: "Preserving in a dry environment at a low temperature can keep the cartridge for 18 months"

I would guess if it's sealed and in a cool dry place, the liquid would keep for the same duration

Wonder if it could be frozen.

What'cha got? PM me.

 

[lisagaye]

I have some old unopened e juice, no flavor. It says it expired 6 months ago. Can i still vape it with fresh flavoring?

Just make sure you store it in glass bottles to prevent plastic leeching.

Holy thread revival, Batman! =)

I just finished 2 different e-liquids that were 2 1/2 years old. They vaped fine but I sensed that the nic had waned a bit. I would assume that your unflavored nic would react similarly. I would mix a small batch as a test 'cause you might want to mix it stronger than usual, nic-wise. Good luck...

I am on my last bottle of Dekang Flue Cured Tobacco with expiration date of 28.06.2011.
Stored in the dark basement in original plastic bottles.

Color, smell and taste are the same as when I bought 30 of them more then 2 years ago in 2009.

At Vi#### Va####, we are constantly researching how to bring you the finest and purest electronic cigarette e-liquids available. As part of the results of that search, we have made it our policy to only package our e-liquids in glass, never plastic. The reason? Bisphenol A, also known as BPA.

BPA is a chemical that, in the presence of heat or hard use, leaches out of plastic containers. This is why you may have heard that it’s not a good idea to drink out of plastic water bottles and to never leave your plastic water bottle in a hot car. This is because BPA leaches out 55 times faster than normal when exposed to hot liquids.

BPA acts as an estrogen mimic. That means that it binds to the same receptors in the body that estrogen binds to. Studies have shown that BPA can promote human breast cancer cell growth as well as cause decreased sperm count and reduced fertility in rats. BPA has also been linked to prostate cancer, altered menstrual cycles and diabetes.

While the research and debate about just how bad BPA is for human health continues, we don’t want our customers to be among the lab rats. Although it costs us a bit extra, we package our e-liquids only in glass.

good information vapoor eyes er

in the ask the veterans threads I found this by rolygate

"Keep liquids in glass bottles, in a cool, dark place - to get maximum life. Nicotine and flavorings will degrade in sunlight and if the bottle cap is left off. Plastic bottles are good for liquids in use but not the best choice for long-term storage as the plasticizers can leach out.

For really long-term storage, in the freezer is best. Use glass bottles, leave a little headroom in the bottle, and double-bag them. Unflavored will last several years like this.

The fridge is not a good choice because the cool, damp atmosphere and tendency for flavors to dissipate/transfer causes some problems, depending on what is being stored and in what type of container. Plastic bottles are a bad idea here.

The link you gave has been blanked out by the forum software - they are banned here for one reason or another. Probably best to avoid them. In this life you get what you pay for, and cheap e-liquid may not be such a great deal.

Think about this: if you go to buy an asthma inhaler, you want to know that the manufacturer knows what they are doing, is approved, tests their materials, and knows exactly what is in their product. Agreed? Well, now you are going to buy something that you will be inhaling 10,000 times more than any asthma inhaler. Maybe it would be a good idea if there is some kind of quality control? Maybe it should be made from the best materials if possible? Cheap e-liquid is exactly that - cheap. There's a reason for it."

good information to add to our knowledge base

Im curious if prefilled cartomizers will degrade with time, as the ones that came with my kit as samples sucked in flavor and burnt out fast, but the same brand replacements were the quality i was looking for.
