eliquid question

I see peoples pictures on here that must have 50 bottles of juice I was told by a vendor down here that liquid can go bad if it sits for a little over a month so ive always had 1 or 2 bottles at a time.

so is juice like wine it only gets better with age or is the a cutoff if so how do people have so much juice??

I only ask cause that was my plan when I stated to have a huge variety of juice so I could never get bored of it

I am relatively new to this, but it is my understanding that juice kept in a cool, dark place ( ie; closet or cabinet) is good for about a year. I hope that anyone with different info will chime in.

 

[shad0w13]

ok cool thanks for the info in the case that your right I see my room filling with juice soon

I would put it in the refrigerator while not in use. I was talking to the guy that owns Mt Baker Vapor ay a show, and he suggested this.

Ive also dicussed this with another veteren on these forums and he suggested the same, but to put the juice in glass bottles because the plastic tanks will "leach" over time.

But I would think if your using your juice up on a regular basis..I dont think that I would go to these extremes.

This is all heresay and opinions.... so take it for what its worth.

A month? Nah - a lot of juice isn't even READY for a couple weeks (search "steeping" here to hear more about that).
I don't think anyone knows the actual shelf life - but I think it's VERY common for people to have some juice that sits a few months...

I didn't think you could put it in the fridge and id use the them on a regular basis but I was asking because I want a lot of variety I just didn't know how long they lasted

yea I knew about steeping witch is why I thought it was weird that he said a month ust wanted to clerify

 

[Train2]

Long term storage is another question - but yes, glass bottle, and fridge or at least cool storage.
Now for the 5-year supply I'll pick up if they legislate us - that'll be unflavored nic, in glass, in the freezer.

I want to try my hand at making my own juice sometime seems hard though

this local guy probably wants you to keep buying often
Ive been told lie from local B and M as well with the cleros they told me I needed to replace them before changing flavs
and when the heads go that there were no cheaper way
when I found online you can change heads they did not know what to say
there were other thins as well

that's one reason I use this forum and online vendors before local every time

But many of the liquids I use are even read y to be vaped for a month

Right now I'm vaping 3 month old boba's bounty

 

[shad0w13]

I bought to of my current favorite flavors I have 1 steeping cus I had to start using the other one early

 

[jnnfrlsw]

Most of the reputable juice makers will list the made date on their juice labels as well as a 12mo exp. date. Personally, if I have a bottle in my stash that's been there more than 6 months I pitch it. Its just too dark by then for my taste.

 

[shad0w13]

I had noticed the darker the less flavor but I had also noticed some flavors are better darker

 

[RBBR]

I have to agree here. Some of my favorite flavors are a lot better after sitting a couple of weeks and getting darker.

I have a 4 year old bottle of NuPort that still tests fine (it was 24, now it's 23 or so) , and it is still vapeable. (and I'm still not all that crazy about it, even though I was a Newport 100 smoker for 30 years) And this is without being in a fridge. Just in the back of a closet.

Many (most) get better with some age (4-8 weeks) others are good out of the mailbox and don't change much.

 

[shad0w13]

wow 4 yrs? I didn't think they could last quite that long

Ones that taste good don't

 

[shad0w13]

that may be because we like them so much we vape em to fast
