Shelf Life

[Bowtie]

I have some juice that I havent touched for a while, but plan on using in the future. How long will they last? Can they be put in the freezer?

I was curious about this too. Of course assuming they are in a cool dark and dry place to be stored. I have read something about bacteria forming in the juice making them unsafe to vape. Anyone have the full info on shelf time?

I just broke open a bottle of juice that I've had for almost a year, and it vapes great - same flavor I was expecting when I bought it. Most people here on ECF seem to believe that most pre-mixed juice has a shelf life of 2+ years if it is stored in a cool, dark place.

PG and VG are anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. PG is also anti-septic.

I think the general consensus on shelf-life is around one to two years.
One thing I know for sure though is that sunlight destroys nicotine, so keep the juice out of the sun.

A cool dark place is usually recommended, but as for using a refrigerator or freezer...

There are some chemists who have responded in the above threads with their take.
They are all good reading, either way.

1 year if stored in a dark glass bottle in the freezer.

I don't have experience with freezing juice but cartos hold up best in cool dry places.

My unflavored juice in freezer w/ no problems since sept 2009.
