Hey guys,
I'm a total newb since I haven't actually vaped yet but I've got a ton of equipment on the way as well as some juices and I have an important question.

I plan on vaping a lot and for a long time and so I want to order a ton of juices but it dawned on me that maybe these things expire and I shouldn't go too crazy with juice buying off the bat.

Does juice go bad? If so how long does it take? Is there a proper way to store it?

The best storage advice is from the PG and VG manufactures like Dow Chemical who actually do store tons of it - put it in a cool, dark, dry area. And avoid big temp changes which will cause oxidation and condensation. (same with wine, btw).

That said, as a newbie, you should sample as many flavors and blends of PG and VG bases so you know what you really want to invest in. Most wasted money in ecigs, imo, go to not the hardware but with ejuices that you "really like" at first and either your tastes changes or the ejuice manufacturer changes a formula. Find some that you absolutely know you will like 2 years from now. And the out years on ejuice storage is @2 years - some will say 18-24 months - even people who haven't been vaping that long :) I'll have been vaping 2 years in June and I have ejuice that I bought early on that still vapes well. I'll let you know if any goes past the 2 year limit.....
