Expiry date for Juice?

[nohj]

Are there any limits on how long I can store my juices before using them?
Both for juice on the shelf and the juice in the e-cig.

Not sure, but I'd refrigerate (or at least stick it in a cool, dry place) any bulk VG or PG you're not using in the short term.

1 year is what I get on most of my bottles that have had ex date printed on them. But I've used juices much older than that with no problems. Within the e-cig? No problem really.

Ya there are limits. You can store your juice till the expiry date.

I hope they last longer in the freezer...

You should store them in a cool, dry place. Just like coffee, I don't think they are meant to be frozen or put in the fridge.

that is what my mom told me also. I am new to all this. She said you could keep diy things in freezer, but I am not to that part yet. She said to just keep it in cool, dry place. Like Plume said.

You can keep your nic juice in freezer and it would last for years. Keep your juices in fridge will last and last. Don't put your juices in direct sun light.

One of the bottles I have says to use it within 2 years of purchase date. like it is gonna stay unused that long

Good information on expiration date of PG, VG and concentrated nicotine liquid: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/84321-long-term-storage-concentrated-nic.html

The two largest factors in juice life span are the nic level and the ingredients used in the flavoring - the latter of which is a huge variable.
PG in itself is a virucide and bactericide, so storing unrefrigerated shouldn't be an issue.
It's safe to simply refrigerate until you're ready to use, and avoid purchasing too much in advance. I usually keep no more than a few hundred ml's on hand, personally.

As I understand it, the general rule of thumb is that you can store most juices for about 18 months without issue; beyond that, the nicotine starts to degrade significantly. I don't know how freezing impacts this, though.

I think the longer they sit the better they get!

Ok, thanks for all the replies. Seems like the liquids I bought this spring should still be good then (even if they haven't been in the fridge).

A vendor I use (forget which one) specifically recommends NOT putting it in the fridge. The only thing I put in cold storage is the 100% nic. I keep mine in a box = cool dark place. Not COLD dark place like the fridge.

Can you please provide facts on:
1) store in refrigerator
2) nicotine degrades significantly beyond 18 months

This is exactly opposite of the studies I have seen, so am curious as to where you got your information. There are several people doing long term studies in various conditions, and the results I have read refute what you are saying. Please provide links to the ones where people are saying the opposite?
