I have a few that are over two years old and a couple have degraded a little. Seems to depend a lot on the flavor. Most are fine.How long do those flavors last, anyway? I've never been able to figure it out. I buy 10 ml at a time (not a big mixer) and store them room temp. But every time I grab an old(ish) bottle I experience an attack of extreme anxiety, chuck it and order another small bottle.
Anyone? How long do you keep/how often do you replace your flavorings?
My favorite is the Dovpo College DNA 60 (I have a couple). But I also like my Brunhilde SbS and Aspire Mixxes. All are really well built. SbS mods are very comfortable in hand.
If you get a Brunhilde, I would consider the Brunhilde SbS. It's a nice quality mod. Very well built, CNC'ed from aluminum. Sourcemore has the RTA and SbS on sale under their 24HRS section. The Brunhilde RTA delivers fantastic flavor. Very easy to build on and maintain.
Brunhilde MTL RTA $24.53: Vapefly Brunhilde MTL RTA 23mm 5ml Rebuildable Tank Atomizer
Brunhilde SbS $44.18: Vapefly Brunhilde SBS 100W Box Mod VW/TC
Sourcemore ships fast compared to FT. My last two SM orders took 8 and 12 days.
I have no idea, but I'm betting a long time, though they may fade a bit. I mean, cooking extracts last for ages--why shouldn't these as well?How long do those flavors last, anyway?

And a wordsmith. I miss him. He hasn't been heard from in like four years. Was posting regularly on VU and then nothing. The folks at VU do keep his threads alive.HIC was a poet.

I have all his FA Note PDF's. The last one was from 2017-11-02.
Might as well post those in case anyone is interested.![]()
Thanks, SMT. I'm still waiting for @hittman 's review of that new tank. If it's as good as Brunhilde, I'll probably get one. If not, Brunhilde and its sbs it is.
And it will be my last mod/tank purchase.![]()
Next time.I just had one faint flicker of an impulse to get a Brunhilde SbS, but it passed very quickly, I'm happy to say.
I have the same kit you received for review. Haven't tried the Kremhild II tank yet.May as well get the Brunhilde. I can tell you that it’s a smallish tank with drop in coils and the flavor isn’t as good as the Brunhilde but decent for drop in coils. It’s a neat tank but no flavor banger like the Brunhilde. Just because I have to wait to post about it doesn’t mean it’s revolutionary. I’ve had companies ask me before to wait. I am hoping to get the Arbiter 2 for review but am not sure if I will.

Happy shoppingGod bless your heart, Hitt. No interest whatsoever in more drop-in coils. I have tons of Z and Sceptre coils and tanks and pods--no room in my closet for more.
But a new, easy to build RTA might come handy. Off to look for a Brunhilde/sbs kit.
F the FDA.

SM has the RBA for the Kremhild II tank. Vapefly Kriemhild II 2 RBA/RMC Coil
I'll probably get one for mine. For me it would be better than buying coils.
