I have a box of flavors... capella and TPA mostly. I decided to make some chocolate mix, so I took out my TPA milk chocolate.. instead of chocolate it now smells like alcohol. Now that I think about it, it's over a year old. (I haven't mixed any choc mix in a while) I started smelling my other flavors and most of them have that same alcohol smell. I realized that I haven't used them for a year or more. Except for the stuff I've bought recently and have been using regularly, I had to throw away most everything I had.


I mixed up some capella choc fudge brownie and it's so black and the taste isn't of brownies anymore.. I had to throw my capellas away too


One of my favorite mixes is TPA caramel cappuccino and lately I've noticed it doesn't taste as good as it used to. I got to thinking.. I only use one drop per 10ml of mix and I don't vape tons of it, so the bottle of caramel capp flavor (still half full), even though I use it, it's as old as my other stuff. So it probably need to be thrown away too.



So be aware.. use it or lose it :glare:

A) Always store in a cool place
B) shake well before opening - Really well if stored for long periods
c) After opening, let it air off if stored for a long time

Most flavorings are not organic and should not break down very fast, but can separate and gases can form in any unfilled space.

Don't tell me all I had to do was shake them and let them air out :?: Seriously.. I did shake them but nothing was going to get rid of that alcohol smell. They all had that similar smell. I don't use that many different ones.. I've already placed a capella order to replenish some of them (use code crazymay to get them for 2.97 each!)

I think I'm in the same boat on some of my flavors. Some of them are pretty old and just don't smell right. Gives me a good excuse to order some fresh ones I guess. :)

Are you still using the Peanutbutter I sent? I just mixed some and used sweet cream instead of bavarian cream, I didn't think it would make much difference but I can taste the difference and like the bavarian cream better than the sweet cream. The sweet cream kinda overpowers the PB and I feel like I'm vaping milk LOL Maybe I shouldn't have mixed a 40ml bottle :ohmy:

Yeal that might be quite a bit to rescue. Good to know though. I need to order both the pb and the bavarian cream. It didn't last long in the drunker lol. :vapor:
