Does Juice Separate?

[hacklerjason]

I actually have a couple question i would like to have answered from those that have more time in, and experience than myself...
1) as the title asks, does e juice separate?
i am having random issues with my juice tasting super chemical-ish. i didnt think this until now but i always thought the flavors were mixed way tooo strong. despite the reviews saying the juices were outstanding, i thought they were disgusting! my experience was with the aloha apple being chemical ish tasting... i put it on the back burner for awhile and havent vaped it since... another was my watermelon, chemical ish tasting... and most recently it is with my hula punch... all volcano juices... i thought to try my watermelon again tonight but this time i shook the ..... out of it before putting it in and it tastes pretty decent now... its my taste playing games with me or does juice do funny things?
2) what is the shelf life of e liquid?
none of my bottle have "born on" dates or use by dates... what would spoiled juice taste like, assuming there is a thing?

Oh yes, juice does separate. In fact, on my bottles from Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes, USA made E Juice, and Accessories it says to shake well before use. I got to my vapemail after it sat all day while I was at work and I could clearly see the Coffee flavor had indeed settled out.

Have you tried "steeping" your juice?

Place bottle (cap on) in warm water for 45 minutes, the cap off and back on to air it out, then place in dark area for the night, The day, shake, uncap/recap, put back in dark place for another day. Then vape....


Just remember too shake, shake, shake! before use....

As for the shelf life? I did notice that my six month old bottle of Cafe Coffee (about 1ml left), didn't taste as fresh as my fresh bottle.... So, IMHO, they do have a "freshness" expiration....

cool... thanks for the reply! i havent tried steeping my juices yet as when they are good, they are bomb! its just the part when they arent so good they suck... what about that chemical like taste? is that something in my head, or in correlation with the need to shake? prior to today, ive never shook any of my juices... i will from now on and i really hope that make a difference... will all the remainders that are in the bottles be messed up from having not shaken and used? MAN I HAD NO IDEA ... theres nothing on my bottle labels... no shake well, no BPA free, nothing... oh that reminds me... what effect does bpa have on my juice? i know taste, but in what regard?

i agree with pete ,some juices i have gotten i have to steep for a week , and anything goes dad after awhile i think they say 1yr on juices but so far i havent had any to go bad and ive got some are at the 2yr mark that i have retried and they were fine i might just be lucky , just give it a good shake like pete said and give it a shot
