e-juices (shelf life)

[winx19]

hi guys, just started vaping a few weeks ago. got my ego-t starter kit. Bought 3 e juice, namely (green apple, mango & ry4) all on 50-50 12 nic. As i switch between analogs and vape (only at home or car), the e-juice are stored in room temp. Recently, the juice have lesser vapor than before. has the juice gone bad? what is the normal shelf life of the juice? is it better to store in the fridge?

thanks everyone.

Nothing wrong with your juice. Time to clean your atomizer/cartomizer/clearomizer. If not, change them out.

hi surfer,

thanks for the advice. I did wash the atomizer, what i did was to wash them and soak in hot water for abt 30 mins till the water cool off. is this method rite?

E-juice starts losing it's potency around 2 years, not a sudden thing but gradually. Flavorings on the other hand can last anywhere from 6 months on up depending on the specific one. The best place to store them is in a cool dark place. Never leave your juices in the car to get hot.

As for washing your atomizer, if they come back for you that way then it's fine. Some people also soak them in high proof PGA or vodka and then rinse in hot water. I've heard of others using electronic jewelry cleaners. Some people dry burn them after cleaning and some don't It really depends on the juices you use and how hard you are on them, aka how hard it is to get the baked on juice off the coil. It sounds like the one you washed either still had a gunky coil or was a little damp. Either one will reduce the vapor production.
