I have 250 ml of nicotine that is 6 yr old. Is it still good?

[mare ze dotes]

I have bought nicotine from wizards lab, 6 years ago. It has all ways been in the dark , in a coolish place. Is it still OK? It is in a VG base. Does any one know of any chemical degradation of such? I am going to have to start mixing up my own. Hi! all my friends that I have not seen for a while! And Hi new friends.

Hola!
If it smells and tastes okay (mixed down, Thanks @BNEAT ) ...it should be fine.

What's the oldest nic base you've ever used?

Be careful trying to taste it if it's 100mG/mL!!!...kind of "duh" piece of advice, but I just had to throw it out there

Step 1: Smell it. If it smell as you expect it to, go to Step 2. If not, dump it.

Step 2: Look at it in a clear vessel. If it looks as you expect it to, go to Step 3. If not, dump it.

Step 3: Mix it down into your favorite juice at your preferred strength and then vape it. If everything seems fine, you're good. Otherwise, dump it.

Good luck.

Like others have said. If it smells and tastes good then it is good. Welcome to ECF

I can't say if yours will still be "OK" or not. But, my experience with the following older nic base from them has been great:
Wizard Labs - ordered 4/15/2016 - *60mg Nicotine solution - 100% VG base - (2) 500ml

I normally bought 100mg/mL nic base, but the above was such a great price on Sale, that I couldn't resist. When it was delivered I poked it away in a cool dark place, and literally forgot about it. I found it about a year + 1/2 ago, started using the 1st bottle myself, and shared a good amount with local friends I was teaching to DIY. I've been using the 2nd bottle for my own DIY and for DIY I make for a friend. I have about 150mL left now. It's still very good nic base, IMO.

I hope you had it stored in a cool place.

This made me think of the Cheech & Chong skit "Chebornek"

I agree with what the others have said. Shake it up really well, smell it. If it doesn't smell bad, mix it down, vape a little, see how it goes.

Oh...and working on a bottle of 2014 nic - it's PG tho

VG can sour...so your nose will tell you

 

[smacuser]

Just can't let that happen.

Nothing's going sour around here. Cold nic is happy nic.
I left the thermometer in there 45 minutes ago after pulling all the boxes and reorganizing.
It gets under -10 IIRC. It's all as good as the day it went in 5-6 years ago.
