I was thinking of buying a large bottle (236ml) and wonder how long it would last? It would be Mt. Baker Spearmint. Does juice go bad over time?

I've heard it's good for a year but would guess if stored correctly it would last longer. I ordered the Black Licorice in the 236ml, can't beat the price.

I maintain that "steeping" is a myth. After 5 years, no juice I have ever tried tasted any different 2 weeks or months after I go it than it did the day it arrived. Good is good immediately and bad is bad immediately. Time makes little difference. How you perceive a juice can certainly change, but I do not believe the juice actually changes.

I have one now that is a year old and is still OK.(afternoon delight) But I have one that the flave turned weird after 4 month.(cucumber) I would imagine that a mint would keep. It is not a complicated mix. The bakery flaves tend to get darker and darker and thicker in my experience. I have an old yellow cake that is as black as coffee, yet I am not ready to toss it.

Moo juice,Orange cream,Banana cream PG65/VG35 with 3 shots and 36 nicotine

I've had most of these from MBV, they need to age (steep isn't a correct term but often used) for about 4 to 7 days, possibly up to 10 days to develop full flavor.

My preferred method is to put new MBV juice in my mancave, and once a day squeeze the air out and then after sucking fresh air into them shake the living daylights out of them, recap, and do it again the next day, or sooner if I think of it. On many juices they will begin to darken (banana cream is one) as they age, on others, such as orange ice and hawk sauce, they really won't darken much at all.

Hope this helps!

Something about buying juices and then waiting 2 whole weeks just doesn't flow with my impatient style.....

Not to mention I'd have no juices to vape for those two weeks, that or I'd have to buy other flavors just to hold me over for the ones I really want. I just leave the cap off for 24 hours and then shake it up before using. Never had any issues.

seeing mt baker is made fresh it still might have some air in it from the mixing process.
if it doesn't seem right give it a good shake in case its a mixing problem then
pour it into a container with a larger diameter for 1 or 2 hours.
preferably one that is wider than it is tall.
the more surface area the quicker the air induced by mixing will leech out and the product will settle.
none if any nicotine or flavoring will evaporate out of the mix.
if its still a little off to you gently pore it back into the bottle and let sit
for a few days and let it settle some more.
after that i dont recommend shaking as it will re-introduce air into the mix.
if it has been sitting a long time a little shaking shouldn't hurt but only
recommended if the product has separated.

I used to think so too, but found it varies by juice and ratio. If youre doing a high pg juice 70/30 or higher and flavoring is pg based...it wont matter, same the other way around. NET's need steeping for sure.
