Expiration dates on e-juices

[Mr.Mann]

Hey TigerLadyTX, how about you drop us a line if you do move this issue to the negative reviews. Inquiring minds are itching to know! When one of us gets slighted, we all do!

p.s. I do appreciate your discretion though

Ok eleanor I get that, but why post it here at all then? U know cuz people are gonna want to know right?

Ya she's probably venting but WE ALL KNOW a year old juice is pretty unheard of unless mislabeled....(my tone is discussion not anger it just looks uglier in text!)

If I open a thread in negative supplier forum, I will link back to this one for the supplier to review.

When I first started this thread, it was more of my looking for others' opinions of if I should contact the vendor regarding the issue, or if I should just let it go and let it be... After thinking about it for several hours, I realized that the vendor needed to be aware of the issue and given the chance to resolve the issue - so I PMed them as well as sent an e-mail. In fact, I have now PMed them twice, but have heard nothing from them yet.

I agree. Not a good sign.

Although Mondays are usually terribly busy for these vendors, what with all the weekend orders piled up.

Tiger...juice is generally good for 2 years after being made...some even longer. As long as the juice does not taste like vinegar, vape it. I only know of one vendor that says theirs is good for 10 months but that is due to the types of flavorings they use.

However, I would be mad as a hornet too if a vendor sent me old juice.

I have gotten 4 month old juice during big sales - that is why they had the big sale to turn the older juice, but one year old is a little over the top. If you are buying from a big sale - you can expect it is for them clearing the stock.

If you received an order from a vendor that had two of the juices very near the expiratory date posted on the labels of those bottles, would you feel that they are safe for use?


I received an order today from a well known and liked vendor - of the 3 bottles I received, one is expiring in 3 weeks, the other in 7 weeks. These are 15ml bottles. Unless I really, really like these juices, there is no way that I will use them up before the expiry date. Would I be incorrect for requesting replacements of these juices?

Please advise,

Thanks!

Hmm I had some older bottles of eliquid in my fridge which had started to seperate and so on so I started to think about expiration dates myself. Heard somewhere it was around 12 months. I remember hearing also that it was not good to keep them in the fridge. Don't know about that one though.

A chemist where I work told me that condensation, upon opening a bottle, can get inside. Condensation is the home to many types of bacteria therefore can cause havoc. I don't chill mine and have some that is over a year old. Mine are kept in a cool, dark closet. It's some of the best juice I have and it's like vaping heaven.

Personally as long as they smell and taste good I'd think they were ok, (i know pretty much nothing about anything) I have some very old PIF juice Ive held on to for a while and they (seemed fine) at 3 ish years old Yeah I know........

However I'd be pretty irritated if I bought and paid for juice that was about to expire.........I'd also be peeved if a vendor took so long without getting back to me...I hope you don't give them too much slack on this one Tiger, stand your ground!

The vendor has now contacted me and offered several options for resolution.
As far as I am concerned this issue is resolved.
Thank you, all, for your thoughts and opinions on this issue.
