How long does e liquid last

[labman]

I. Have just bought an Ego T LCD, flipping great, I was going to get one of the super minis like I did 2 years ago but so glad I went for this!

My question is this..... How long does the e liquid last in a bottle? I was using a super mini 2 years ago but batteries and general messiness led me back to analogs. I've managed to go cold turkey for 5 months but it's just getting to me now, everyone tells me it gets easier but for me it's getting worse and worse!

Anyway, I've got a full bottle of liquid from 2 yeas ago, so can I still use it?

Cheers

I've heard that juice lasts about a year, even though i've also heard that some juices get better after several months...so I suppose you're supposed to let something steep for 8 months, then kill it off within 4?

With 2 year old juice, I personally wouldn't try due to some juice vendors giving their juice a one year shelf life.

I wouldn't vape juice older than 180 days, and only if stored properly. How you stored it is going to determine shelf life. Dark, cool storage is optimal.

Probably. I'm not exactly quoting off scientific papers but I think I read nicotine keeps for about 2 years before it starts to really degrade and lose its potency.

PG is meant to be a germacide so if you've kept the lid on it should be pretty sound inside. If it's vg I'd be kinda iffy about using it after that long even if it had the lid on due to a lack of a germacide.

If it was me, I'd fire it up and see how it tastes. If it tastes bad I'd chuck it. If it tasted alright I'd just vape it like I just don't care like innit

I think what I'm concerned about is that could it be bad for you, or would it just taste rubbish?

Obviously I know none of you can give a definative and scientific answer, just wanted to know if anyone has used older liquid, and what's their opinion?

The oldest ive let my liquid age is 2 months. I rotate it pretty fast. This is the first time ive seen anyone ask about juice that old so good luck getting the answer you need.

Why are my experiences usually contrary to the majority??????

Some of my original juices are 2 years old, 100% VG, still taste good and vape great! Likewise, other 2 year old juices that tasted like crap when new, still taste like crap (or worse).

The cinnamon and clove juice got cloudy and separated, so I threw those out.

My opinion is if they look CLEAR, smell good, taste good and vape great...use'em (or send them to me and I'll properly dispose of them 4u )!

I think I'll go with this, made me laugh as well! Suppose common sense needs to be applied, if it looks like s..t and tastes like c..p then it probably is......
