Dates on Bottles and Lot #s

[cloudykitty]

How common is it for e-juice vendors to use manufacture dates and lot numbers on their bottles?

I really like it when vendors do this. It gives me more confidence in the product, and I feel it shows the vendor has more accountability.

The bottles I've mail ordered have this information but my locally bought juices don't. So for those I write the purchase date on the bottle label but I often wonder just how long that bottle of juice was sitting around on the store shelf.

most large volume operations are automated or semi automated.
its a way to track product for many reasons.
smaller operations tend to mix it as you need it.
they may have a few premixed bases with specific
PG/VG ratios and add flavoring and nic as needed.
that makes it harder to use batch numbers.
a batch number would indicate the flavor,nic level,percentage
of PG/VG,date made and,total quantity made in that
particular production run. for a different batch number
start the process all over again.

I wish all companies put that info on their juice. I like knowing the mix date, pg/vg ratio, and flavor profile. I don't even order juice without knowing the pg/vg ratio.

I rarely see it nowadays. I know Nicoticket does it though.

Mix dates are labeled on Ohm's Vapes and MadTown Vapor, as well as NiteLite Vapor (month and year only, but their bottles are pre-steeped before shipment).

So it looks like the labeling is a minority thing. Knowing some more brands that disclose their dates is very helpful. Thank you!

Ahlusion has a "best by" date which is always 6 months from the date is was mixed. They also show the pg/vg and nic level on their labels.

Charles Noble has a BOD and a batch number and the pg/vg and nic level on their labels.
