How LONG

does DIY juice last..


Hi experts: some questions regarding making big batches


Do I need to refrigerate the left over PG/VG?

Are we talking days/months/ or years...




Will it seperate if I let completed e-juice sit too long?

Well...no expert. But been doing DIY juice for something like 2 yrs. Share what I do...

Stocked NIC (PG) / PG = freezer.
Stocked VG = Fridge
Current mixing NIC (PG) / PG = Fridge
Current mixing VG = Fridge/room temp (room temp VG easier to mix)
Flavs room temp

Largest batches I make of a given flav at a time is 90ML in 120ML glass bottles. Room left in bottle for a good shaking. Usually vape up made juices and make more...no 500ML of one flav.

Stocked NIC/PG/VG in freezer can last a long time beyond said expiration date IMO. Biggest factors on NIC being heat and sunlight.

If you are DIYing, then my advice would be to leave the component parts separate until you are ready to mix. I pretty much follow what i_L1fe posted above.

I usually make enough juice for a month or two at a time, so I never keep DIY juice longer than that. I really don't see any benefit in making huge batches, I'd rather keep the ingredients in their component parts and mix as I go.

That said, I have store-bought juice in my fridge that is over a year old, it looks fine, vapes well and has not separated.

When I buy my VG/PG and nic I do a premix at 12 mg nic. then when I add flavor it takes it below 10. I always keep just a little 48 nic in reserve incase I have to add a huge amount of flavor and it isn't satisfying.

awesome info guys..

do you happen to know an at all conclusive number as to expiration of "unmixed" vg / pg?
