Hey guys, I was overseas visiting family for about 1.5 months. During that time my juice was sitting on my desk in a dark room for 1.5 months. When I got back, I rebuilt my RDAs to about 0.35 ohms and my juice doesn't taste nearly as good or produce as much vapor. I shook the bottle very vigorously for about 30 seconds and it's pretty terrible. It's also really dry. It used to be REALLY good. Do juices lose flavor after a while? Is there any way to fix this? Please help! I have a bunch of juices and they all seem like this. Could be my build I guess, my ohmmeter has been a little wonky lately. Not sure how to test it though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Maybe your rebuilding skills got a little rusty after not doing it for a while? Or, your ohm meter needs new batteries? You could check your coils with a multimeter if possible. I don't think the juice would go bad after 1.5 months, but you could buy a fresh bottle and see if there is any improvement.

It also could be your mod batteries, I assume you charged them right away when you got back, but if they lost enough voltage while you were gone they could be permanently damaged due to over-discharge.

Never rebuild without a functioning ohm meter or multimeter to test it. :-/

Well, a juice shouldn't lose its flavor in such short time. Shelf life is usualy considered to be 1+ year.

Is it dry as in your inhaling more air than vapor? In that case you might have to big airflow open. It can also happen when the coils aren't lined up with the airholes.

It's kind of weird. The ohm meter works, my RDA post is just too short for it to read, tested with 2 other RDAs and it works fine now. I guess it's because I haven't vaped in a bit and I wasn't a smoker before. The flavors seem muted and the vapor production is less. I recreated the same build as I used to, with good looking coils, and it came out to around .35 ohms, and it still feels different. Also, it feels dry and makes me a little nauseous. No clue what's happening. I'm sad because I just bought 2 new RDAs and a new mod... :\

I've had flavors that tasted great, but letting them sit for 2-3 months, 90% of the flavor is gone. Watermelon, candy cane to name a few.

If I put a few drops on a paper towel, there is no smell or oder of the flavor.

I just put watermelon in 2 separate tanks, and both had no flavor.

So I know some of my eliquids have lost most if not all their flavor after 2-3 months, maybe 4 months old.
