Does e juice have a shelf life and if so, how long should it last before it goes bad ?

Most vendors will say juice expires after a year, but juice can be vapable for up to 2 years.

About a year. If you were to keep it in the freezer when not in use it could last many years. If its exposed to more heat and light it might degrade faster, so less than a year.

A way to tell if it's bad is the consistency changes. It will get very thin like water.

If it still gives you a kick to the throat, vape it. I've vaped juices up to 4 years old if I'm remembering right. No problems here. I've vaped some very old juices lol. If your worried about the nicotine shelf life, it'll last till the last drop basically. If your worried about mold or other problems related to the flavorings or the VG/PG... That i'm not sure of. If it has developed floaty molds or if its got anything in it that looks like its not supposed to be there, I'd say its lived a good life and its time to let it go down the porcelain bowl. But I have vaped some very old juices and the nicotine never went bad. PG is a sterilizing agent so I'd have to guess it'd be hard to wait for the flavorings to become majorly contaminated by degrading considering there is such a small opening in the tip of our bottle noses and no air (filled with mold spores) can get in. Bacteria doesn't really stand a chance against the PG and the nicotine.

store it in a cool dark place. i DIY my juice and store all the stuff in a shoe box under the bed in a room that is keeped at around 70 degrees F i have juice that is 1.5 years old and still vapes just like the day i made it. in fact it tastes pretty good. i think ill pull it out and vape it right now.
