A friend of mine from another state called me and asked me if I wanted some e-liquid. Her son was vaping and is no longer with her and she is getting rid of all kinds of his stuff. She says that there are about 60-70 bottles, some full, others not so full. The dates on them are at least 1-1/2 to 2 years ago, 18 and 24 nicotine and 50/50 PG/VG. I don't know how long the nicotine will stay at that level or if the flavors will have dimished. Said I would check on this forum and see if it would be worth paying for her to send them to me. Any ideas?
How long does liquid last?

It should be ok but can't gaurentee it I'm guessing there are multiple flavours ect which must have different rates of detioriation id hazard the postage and as far as I'm aware nicotine can not diminish in a sealed bottle and following that same logic I'm guessing the flavour will not diminish either I'd say go for it
Expiration dates on all of my juices so far have been 1 year from make date. Now I don't know if this DISABLES them from being vaped or just a safety thing, but I wouldn't use them.
What do I know about juice though...all I do is buy and vape it. /shrug

The way I'm looking at it is like the labelling on food out of date food has been thrown away but as we know there are people who take this food and store it for months with no ill effects after eating it but with cosmetics they are dated because of bacteria that can form on the product but the method of creating vapour from liquid should eliminate any bacteria which may be there
i say go for it too. my guess is that its kind of like medicine. passed the 'expiration' date and the value of strength is decreased, naturally all things break down, as far as nic and flavor... i have no research on it. a good shake, a couple of drops in an atty should take the guess work out of it.
Health risk I would say is minimum like I said the main problem with chemicals is break down and as I said I think that wouldn't be a huge problem in sealed bottles and bacteria but as you make vapour via a red hot coil and pesky bacteria fear heat you should be ok for the sake of the postage and the reward of around 70 bottles which will last you untill next year unless you drink it or somthing in my opinion you'd be a fool to see it thrown away
Yeah, I can't imagine there would be a health risk provided those are US ingredients, especially if they're organic. They wouldn't allow them to be sold if they broke down into anything harmful. PG/AG may degrade over time though.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but she/you should not take any chances. Your friend should immediately pack the juices up and send them to me for proper disposal.
Then don't vape!
I'll gladly pay for da $hippin' and hand out what I don't care for to my younger v-verts. A couple of 'em have 'moked an herb or two anyways...
