I've also been wondering about that. I got some juices that's 11/2 years old. I read here (somewhere) the PG starts breaking down after some time...?
Don't know. Don't even know if its true...
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will clear things up soon.

So a) I think the general consensus is like, you have to make that decision for yourself. It is true that eliquid CAN break down over time, lack of light and heat sort of halts that process some, so if you have eliquid you KNOW you won't get to, put it in the fridge, to slow nic oxidation and whatnot. It should be fine in there for a reasonable period. Vape the oldest first (if there is an oldest).
I've vaped some pretty elderly e-liquid in my time and honestly, it's been fine, improved even sometimes. The more you can store it away from light and heat, the better, probably. It may darken some but unless you see weird things floating in your juice (it may get cloudy cold but should normalize at room temp) or it tastes horrendous and burns, etc., I'm going to suggest that things will PROBABLY fine, but there is no handy list to consult, and also I think even "best by" dates were sort of a newer invention and etc. and so if it's a REASONABLE amount of time like say within a year and you stored it properly I wouldn't think it would be TRAGIC or terrible, I mean quite frankly until "of late" any vape shop I asked sort of vaguely would suggest that the eliquid would IMPROVE (although I realize, THEY weren't studying anything either, just marketing) but really until sort of recently in my neck of the woods , you wouldn't even SEE "best by" dates, you'd just get handed a bottle of juice and told to go home and vape it and I did not ever get to see the eliquid making FACILITIES, either.
With that said, you are going to have to make this call, because it's your body.

Depends how it’s been stored. Mine is always in a dark, dry cupboard, and I’ve used it till it’s gone. I diy, and there are some bottles in there over a year old. Still looks and smells fine, vaped and tastes as it should. If it had been left in the car or something maybe it would not age as well. But I also buy my pg and vg by the gallon, and again, stored properly, that lasts a good two years.
Thank you so much makes sense it’s only one 10ml bottle that I wanted to try and it’s only over by a couple of months smells and tastes fine
If it looks good in the bottle, no clumps or gelatinous goo or badly discolored, smell it.
If it smells good in the bottle, you can try it.
If it taste good in the vape, keep on using it.
