Quick question about juice - I have a few 70V/30P 120's that I opened to try and weren't my favorite, so they've been sitting for a bit. How long can they remain unsealed before they go "bad"? Also, I've read that some of you freeze them. Disregarding the volatility of juice in general, is this likely to be a safe route?

Experiences/stories anyone?

juice can last a good long while....just keep it in a dark place

when I first started out I bought a big box of used juice from the classies, so I have no idea how old they were to begin with....it's now several years later and I still vape on some of them

Comforting, thank you. You mentioned a dark place? Does light degrade/separate the juice or something?

 

[Zazie]

i do that naturally as i did in the darkcigage. effect is still dryness, bleeding, weird etc. sparing TMI..

Too much PG?

Virm I want you to try something for me. Talk to the plants. You might find you like them. Have something in common. Making room for them in the relationship (and your heart) will free you. Open doors to new emotional spaces. Make your world a bigger, better place. Learning to hug them won't come easily at first. I know. I know. trust . trust will come. and then your heart will blossom like the flowers in spring

Hippy.

I do not freeze juice but if it is a sealed bottle I do store it in the fridge sometimes. Store bought juice, IMO, will last 2ish years without degrading as long as it is not in direct light or heat

haven't laughed this hard in a while for realsies_ herself too until she heard 'hug the plants" and things took a dark turn

Too much PG?

hmmm_ sumptuous new fancy_ (but first let's agree: it's too much vape)_ okay, well, starting, it's always been tween 30-40. all you guys are higher VG?

direct light and too much heat can degrade the nic, not sure about the flavorings and pg/vg but it is suggested to store flavorings in a dark place as well as direct sun light could degrade the flavoring (I'm not sure about that one but it's still a good idea)
freezing isn't going to really help with flavors so much, but it can help slow oxidation in the nic but in my opinion it's not worth freezing juice, just keep it somewhere dark. Now if you were storing bottles of nic for extended periods then yeah stick it in the freezer, but already made juice I don't think the freezer will help much if any.

I mix dw at 8%, suggest starting yours at 3% and go from there after testing the juice in a tank. My only pg comes from nic and flavors so is generally under 10%. DW thins juice considerably so you'll have to see what % is compatible for use in your attys.

alright. thank you. just asked and she's already diluted it so i'll try it when we get a new bottle.
idk, never went that high VG, thinking i'd lose density, hit or flavour.. hmm

Oof. I'll need to chain vape to get rid of all this juice in 2 years, lol.

DRINK MORE WATER

oh if you only knew tae whoem youre talking

 

[Shadav]

hmmm_ sumptuous new fancy_ (but first let's agree: it's too much vape)_ okay, well, starting, it's always been tween 30-40. all you guys are higher VG?

lol I mix at max vg (90%+) but then again I also use rda's...high vg could be an issue in tanks as it could be too thick to wick properly...a drop or two of distilled water in your tank will help thin it out
I never add pg to my mixes, only what the flavorings themselves add, even my nic is in vg.

Okay, ty. I haven't purchased any pure nic yet - I'd like to eventually vape 0 nic. Or if I were to DIY, maybe do some value between 0 and 3. For now, I'm not worried about that really. I have probably 60-70 120mL bottles that I'm going to try and extend as far as it can go. I just don't want to open a bottle one day and realize it's a gel or something because I wasn't storing it properly. I'm not even sure I'm super concerned about the degradation of flavor per se, I just don't want the juice to go bad or be unusable.

I don't like a throat hit at all....plus i'm slightly allergic to pg, nothing terrible but just uncomfortable, so I found that higher vg worked better for me and eventually just stopped adding pg to my mixes. I also use salt nic for that reason, because I just don't want a throat hit, I want a smooth vape to relax with.

I tread a fine line between too much VG and too much PG. If I err on the side of the former, my lungs clog up; the latter, my mouth and tongue feel as though I've just gulped a big spoonful of scalding hot soup. I settled on 65VG/35PG for a while and am now at 60VG/20PG/20PEG. That is working nicely, but I still intend to experiment with distilled water as well at some point. I mean, why vape chemicals when you can vape water?

Morning shinies

I didn't like the airflow on the Pro RDTA Pod because there is way to much of it, there are 2 airflow inlets on the RDTA Pod and the top one is a series of honeycomb holes that are adjustable and work fine but the main side air inlet is way to large and has no adjustment to it. Here's a couple of photos from my review of the Pro and I'll leave a link to my review if you care to check it out.
AEGIS BOOST PRO " LIMITED EDITION " + RDTA REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

That's what I thought from your review too. If the flavour's good, I'll find a workaround if it's too airy for me. The original Boost and rba would be perfect if it had a slightly bigger battery. Or if I got two

hmmm_ sumptuous new fancy_ (but first let's agree: it's too much vape)_ okay, well, starting, it's always been tween 30-40. all you guys are higher VG?

I was 30/70 pg/vg. Been trying 40/60 and 35/65 to see what works the best for me now. Distilled water may be what I need too

 

[Shadav]

I may look into adding some distilled water to my mixes just to see how that works...lol my lungs always feel clogged but then again that's normal, I have a lot of sinus drainage.

 

[Resistance]

just so happens herself's always stocked up on that_ and i've been looking for a way to get back at her stupid pet plants for the attention they've stolen from me the green strumpets

thank you! def tryin it

so assuming an average tank, to calculate it for bottles, like a drop/ml?

Don't go over 2% DW. I used to omit PG for about a year from my DIY mixes.
