E-Liquid Shelf Life

[robotox]

So last December, I tried to quit smoking by beginning to vape. Long story short, I was doing really well and was then forced into a week of family time with both my family and the in-laws, which forced my brain into needing the five minutes away that smoking afforded me.

Now I'm about to begin vaping again with a larger lead time until the holidays, but I've still got all this e-liquid I bought but didn't use. Do you think it's still good or should I just chuck it?

It's probably good. Try it! Did you keep it in a cool,dark place? It's less than a year old.

I agree with Caridwen. Juice is good for a year at least.

Also, if you need a few minutes away and you're vaping, just go outside to vape for a bit when you need it. I like joining the smokers sometimes anyways. They are a fun group and some can really use my vaping experience.

I've read someplace that a 1 year shelf life is expected if kept in a cool dry place...6 months is nothing, I have juices older than that,
that I fire up, and have left all over the place..

Welcome back to the vaping world robotox. I keep at least 2 different battery/mods with me most of the time. Partly in case something happens to one of them I still have a backup with me. And partly in case I feel the "need" to chainvape, I can let one cool down while I heat up the other. Been there more than once.

Welcome to the forums. I hope your second endeavor into vaping works out better. A lot of vendors put expiration dates on their products at about a year out, a few will have best by at 6 months out. Yours should be fine. Best of luck this time around.

I am using juice that is 3 years old, (Disclaimer: but I don't recommend it to anyone), and to me it taste and vapes fine. At first it was YECK because of quitting, but it is fine now. I have more problem with the new juice I got, too much perfume taste, have to let it steep. back in the Day, when you got juice it was good or not, no steeping required. If I had your juice and liked it before, I would vape it now also. JMHO.

Vape On

If the juice has been sitting out or left in sunlight.. best to throw it out... Over a year old ... Your Mileage May Vary

 

[kingslothdrops]

are there any health effect to look out for if you use old (6 months to a year) eliquid?

 

[kalison]

I've got some juice that is pretty well past six months. Mine all says in a dark cool place though. I have had no ill effects from any of them.

Awesome. Thanks for your help, guys. I'll try it out and see how things go. I wanted to make sure that, at the very least, it wasn't going to make me sick if I vaped it.
