If you keep your e-juice in a cool dark place, it's shelf life will be approximately 2 years. You can also freeze it to make it have a much longer life.

I too am a newbie to ECF, this being my first post. The answer to your question is too broad. I started vaping last june. It didn't take me very long before I found out that there are a lot of crappy juices out there. Don't know why you would want to save any of those. If you're referring to pg or vg or nic juice-only order what you think you would use in a few months. They last a very long time. I've had some of mine 9 months and no change that I'm aware of. The flavors from various vendors, as long as they're recapped after use should last years. Lots of premixed juices actually taste better weeks later than they do when first mixed or bought. They have to steep. Hope this helps.

What you're trying to protect from degrading/denaturing is the nic. It likes to be at 50-60F, and it doesn't like exposure to light or air. I tend to only have enough juice for 6 months or less (usually a lot less). But if you're thinking of mega-bulk amounts for longer periods of time, maybe invest in some amber bottles and a wine fridge...but if you're just worried about all the tiny bottles of sample juices you've amassed, I say just relax, stick them in a cupboard or drawer, and vape on!

Regular pre-made juice is good for a year or more, out of direct light and heat.
PG and VG has a shelf life of 2 years.
Nicotine in solution with PG and/or VG is good for at least a year at room temperature if kept cool and dark and the bottles are topped off with minimal air space. If you refrigerate it, probably closer to 2 years. If frozen, even longer. If frozen at 0 degrees, several years.
I have 100mg solution in VG, and some in VG and PG, that has been frozen for almost 2 years and there is no sign of deterioration or oxidation. No dirty sock smell and little or no tanning.

well , I personally don't refrigerate mine . I believe that condensation forms and dilutes my juice . So I just keep my juices in a dark closet on a shelf . And my house is air conditioned , so never really gets that hot in there . But hey if people have such good luck freezing , I might just try it , to see for myself . It's true , you can teach an old dog , a new trick .
