Hello everyone (or good evening if you're on the east coast like I am). I just recently switched COMPLETELY over to Bloog for all my vaping needs. So on Saturday I went to my local head shop and bought a boatload of 5-packs of the blank cartomizers (the ones where you put your own juice in). I noticed on the car ride home that they actually had a labeled expiration date on each box (over 2 years from now, but still, why?). How the hell can cotton and metal expire? My dad, who was driving, was scratching his head on that one too. He also told me that at his job (a warehouse for a chain of supermarkets), where he moves boxes and pallets of groceries all day, the scanner gun he uses requires him to enter in an expiration date for EVERY item, no matter what it is. The example he gave me was paper towels that he was moving the other day needed to have an expiration date, but that makes about as much sense as the cartomizers I just bought. Does anybody have any idea as to why? I'm really curious now...Oh, and on a side note, why does every box of Bloog stuff come with 2 sheets of about a dozen stickers each (with the Bloog logo on them, of course)? Do they want me to do free advertising for them by putting them everywhere I go? I put one on the laptop that I'm using right now, but I can't find anywhere else to stick them. And NONE of them are going onto my beloved guitars either (the KISS ARMY sticker on each of my guitars is just an exception). So anyway, I gave all of the rest of the stickers to my sister, who has a three-year-old son. I just told her not to tell him that he's advertising for electronic cigarettes when he plays with them. :laugh:
 
+1 Nebulas. Everything decays, given time.

Ten to one the carts are given an expiration assuming poor storage, like a very humid environment or wildly oscillating temperatures. Kept in our home, they should last a lot longer than 2 years unused. Personally, I tend to ignore expiration dates on most items that aren't technically "perishable," although you will notice they do degrade.

And...you got stickers? Why don't I get stickers? I want stickers! :p
