This is a good point...just like with food. Highly processed foods (twinkies, anyone?) can sit around forever and be fine, but whole, real foods (fruits, veggies, etc) spoil within the week or so if not used. Unfortunately most of my juices are "natural" but I was thinking only a few months old they shouldn't be bad quite yet.
Sorry, my recent posts were all meant for the 'non' natural ingredients. Makes a lot of sense that they would go bad if they are natural. Never had natural. How are they and where can I pick some up to try out?

many of my ahlusion juice don't even get right till 30 or 60 day steep if its under a year I wouldn't worry about it
yours are only 2 months old if its not good after 2 months that vendor has serious issues

I cant Imagine any that would go bad before a year however certain flavs tend to lessen over time
give em a shot see what you think

Shoot, i hope not! I'm all stocked up for the vapocalypse like a doomsday prepper. Ironically, I have no canned meat or water jugs stockpiled in my basement. Hell, I don't even know if I have a functional flashlight. Juice tho.. I'm all set.

I've said it before..... What we really need are some ego/510-threaded LED's!

Well I can say FOR A FACT, it Might or Might not be good. :p
Since I started back vaping, I have old Juice from 2009, yes 4 years old. Stored in the back room (NOT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED, and I live in Florida) but in a cabinet (In the Dark). I had mostly 36 mg juice and some unflavored 48 mg and 60 mg. The flavored was weak at best, but did not taste really that bad after I got over not smoking cigs. The unflavored mixed well with the TFA flavorings and to me still has the nic. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS STORAGE METHOD, but I would vape it. Fresher stuff is lots better and I am using the freezer now.

Vape On

The typical life span of chemicals is 1-2 years in most cases, longer if it can be frozen without a frequent rise and fall in temperature.

If you have a steady temp. then you should be fine as long as the bottles are capped and stored in a dark place. If not in the dark, at the very least in amber or blue glass bottles to prevent the the dreaded plastic "flavor" from taking over.

Natural ingredients are going to spoil multiple times faster than anything created by man. It's the same way with food which is preservative free. So if you're using naturally extracted juices or flavoring, it may or may not last more than a few months to a year. Artificial flavoring should definitely last a year unless it's contaminated from the get-go.
