Potentially dumb question

[Pclarity]

What is the shelf life of e-juice? Does it go off. I gotta figure the nic will become inactive eventually, but what about the flavoring? Also, what do you do with the juice you don't like. Yeah, there's always the old trade with a buddy or such like, but I'd feel horrible passing on a juice I can't stand unless I KNOW the receiver actually liked it. Just my random thoughts and wonderings.

Check out my new toy: UDC Pro v 1.5



First mod. Can't wait to get an RDA for it with a tiny tank. Vapes real smooth with the right battery. Better on the 18490's than anything else.

Hello and welcome
Stored right one to two years from date of manufactured .
You will know it is not good when it's off

Hello n welcome to ECF. Harlen said it. 1 ta 2 years at best. IF stored properly.
A youtube reviewer, rip tripper, actually has a video on this.

Stored in glass bottles, in the freezer, it can last a very long time. I have heard that it can last up to 10 years, maybe more. If you are not intending to store any juice for a long period of time, then store it in a cool dark place and it should last a couple of years.

As for juice that you don't like, offer it to a friend or dump it, we have all been there. When I buy a juice for the first time, I get a 10 ml bottle, or smaller. That way, if I don't like it, I won't feel bad for throwing it out.

Welcome to the forum Pclarity.

As far as juice you don't like, you might as well give it to a friend to try. Taste is really subjective and they might like it.

The stuff I like doesn't stay around very long. The stuff I don't like gets passed along, and if they don't like it they'll pass it along as well. Eventually someone will either love it or dump it. Kind of like bad Christmas presents in that regard.

Don't just dump juice you don't like - everyone's taste is different.
There is an ECF Juice Swap thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-please-read-first-post-rules-guidelines.html

And a Classifieds section here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/member-classifieds-swaps/

You need to be verified to use them, but it's easy to do and explained in the rules and guidelines.

Finally, consider donating your juice to CASAA - you can read all about that here: CASAA
The juice you don't love might just help someone else!
Good luck!

I love the idea of donating. Thanks!

Congrats on the new mod! Nicotine has a very long half life, so long that it may only lose 1% of it's potency over 10 years. It's the VG and flavorings you have to worry about, and the time estimates above are accurate.

The juice I don't like or use anymore I give away to people that love freebies.

That should be pretty easy then, because I can't remember the last time I met someone who didn't like freebies!
