I attempted to post this earlier and it did not post so I will give it another shot. I quit vaping for about a year. Very long story. I tried some of my old bottles of liquid and most of the chinese liquids have very little to no flavor. My decent liquids are all in flavors that I don't care for anymore and still have flavor. Basically I am wondering what kind of shelf life everyone has experienced and if anyone is interested in 100 bottles or so of deteriorated flavored liquids and half bottles of crazy bakery flavors from various vendors.
Eliquid shelf life? Possible giveaway.

I began vaping in 2009. There was a scare that went through the threads about the feds shutting down the sites to buy juice and hardware. Also shipments from larger sellers began to get seized by customs. I bought into it and did like many, I bought as much as I could. Most juice back then was Dekang. A while back I opened juice( Marlboro Dekang) that was two years old.
It tasted the same and had the same nic hit as when I opened up bottles a few years back. Did the same with 555 and RY4.
I keep my juice in a cooler darker storage area in the basement.Thats all. I'm going to try another bottle when it hits three.
I think if you keep it in a cool dark place it can last a good long time. I'll see next year if it's still vapable.

Some juices can last 2 years or longer according to different vendors while others only last 1 year and then toss it (tasty vapor I believe said that theirs is 10-12 months). I think alot has to do with flavors spoiling. Nicotine decreases in potency over time according to some of the vets on here. I suggest for long term storage, to put them in a glass bottle with euro dropper then store in a cool/dark place.

I am definitely serious about giving them away. I literally probably have 150 bottles. I had them in my garage for a long time and Dawn's and mrs ts still taste fine. I guess if I order chinese liquids again Im going to smoke them up quick.
I am still using my old Dekang stock with 06/17/2011 expiration date, have about 10 bottles of 30 ml left.
IMO it still has same taste and nic but I only have two tobacco flavor- Flu Cured and Camel, nothing like bakery.

I store mine in the original bottles. Some are glass and some are plastic. Like I said mine were fine after two years. I do have some bakery type juices that are older in storage. I see that some colors have changed. My basement storage area is darker stays about 68 to 7o degrees year around. If juices are kept in a sunny hot environment I can see them not lasting a super long time. It's kind of common sense. Sun makes rooms heat up pretty warm durind the day. This just can't be good for any juice.
