I personally wouldn't try ejuice if its say 2-3 months past that date but you might want to ask halo, they have a live chat support feature
I recommend you not to use that expired liquid.. especially if you find anything difference from the color, taste, smell and its liquid forms..
Welcome to ECF m00shie, make yourself right at home
Should be fine, try it ... if it tastes bad dispose of it.
The nicotine may had degraded a bit but it won't hurt you
still good since it hasnt been opened and exposed to alot of air.... it sez "best before" such a date... so after the date it will be pretty good and then another year later it will be so so.... do a quick smell/taste test... open bottle squeeze gently and smell, if it smells ok then take a drop ( small drop) of it on the finger and taste.. if it tastes ok then vape.... if it tastes nasty.... your choice of how you want to not use it
Two years from the creation date is considered the limit. Most juices are still just as good at that time as they were when mixed and bottled. The flavorings generally contain alcohol, and glycerine and glycols are pretty stable for long periods. The nicotine can degrade, but it isn't a large percentage of the mix, 24mg/ml =2.4%.
You just have to take old juices on an individual basis. Taste them and proceed from there. A dripper atty is good for that sort of thing. You only have to drop in a couple of drops to sample it and the washout process is quick and easy.

Still new to vaping and have not tested dripper yet. But have been considering a Plume Veil in the near future
A dripper atty is pretty cheap and it's good to have around to test new juices before you commit to filling a tank. You can wash them out in the sink and dry burn quickly between flavors since there's not a lot of filler to retain the juice and contaminate the new flavor. It's basically just a silica wick inside a coil with just enough packing to wet the wick and allow you to take a few hits before the juice is gone. They wash out in a minute and are ready for the next juice you want to sample.

It should be perfectly fine. A quick shake and smell should tell you if it is ok or not.
Notice that everyone with lots of post is saying it should be fine.

The big killer of juice from what i notice is the sun and UV..
I've had some turn pitch black that i forgot about sitting on my desk..
it just tasted terrible is all..
So i tossed it.
other than that,i've still got some halo sub zero from last summer that will still freeze your eyeballs out,it's so good..

I had a large bottle of MBV and it was stored properly and around 6 months it smelled like it was closer to moonshine then e-liquid. It was promptly disposed of.
It says 'Best used by...' not 'do not use after...' I don't think its going to be unhealthy, it might be past its prime, but I don't think we've got a whole lot of info as to how long a well stored, sealed bottle of e-liquid is going to keep its flavor. Considering the large variance in the flavoring ingredients used, I doubt that there is a definitive period.
any time i have seen juice with a expiration date its
always been a year after manufacture.
i assume the vendors are being prudent and and
understating these values.
it should be good 6 months minimum if not opened.
most likely up to a year. with all things though,if in
doubt chuck it.

I've thrown out a stack of 10ml bottles I stored in a box in the closet 3 to 5 years ago. I tried a couple of them and they tasted like I remembered. I have no problem vaping 2 year old juice. As someone else mentioned you need to keep juice out of the sun and in a cool place. Composition plays a part. Some flavors are alcohol based and that helps prevent bacteria and mold. Others may contain ingredients with short shelf life.
If it tastes good it's probably OK, but I wouldn't push the 2 year recommendation too far. 2 years is plenty of time to vape juices that you like. If they are older than that, you probably weren't impressed with them when you bought them and probably won't like them the second time around either.
