How long does juice last?

[Mikedin]

On average at least how long Is it fine for? I know a lot of people stock up because the pour through juice cloud chasing but for people like me who may want to stick up just because it's cheaper to buy online in bulk

I vape for the nic at the moment just menthol flavoring with my nicotine but even if it was flavored what would be the average time

And while I'm on this topic I hear the term steep your juice I know what normal steeping is but is it different with juice and/or what exactly does it do

hi Mikedin. I've heard juice kept in a cool dark place (like a cabinet not a fridge) will last a year. Steep is the process that allows all the flavors to mix with each other, molecules shaking hands, etc...

Thank you for the reply do juices sometimes darken in the steeping process? I only ask because I noticed in a tank I had laying around with juice in it for a month that the juice had darkened

Yes, juices can get darker in color with steeping. I have juices over a year old, and they vape great.

The juice will darken because the nicotine is oxidizing. I've found that aging is absolutely necessary on some liquids like creams/desserts. With fruity liquids, they are almost always ready to go out of the bottle. The biggest part of the aging process is to shake the ingredients frequently. The components have different viscosities and can separate over time. The shaking/mixing helps to keep them from doing that and it blends the flavors better.

i bought 3 120ml bottles a year and a half ago and still have some of each. it vapes just fine. stored in a cool dark closet. i have read juice will be ok for at least 2 years.

I had some juice that was over 2 years old and it tasted like crap. When I bought it, it tasted like crap so no big deal. I held on to it with hopes that one day it would possibly get better.

One to two hours per ml when in my possesion.

I'm stocked up, not so much as others, but I probably have enough to last 5 months at least. If there's a sale, just do it, don't worry about that you'll be all good.

I had some of the same issues. I bought a bunch of liquid and then went back to smoking. Now I would like to try vaping again and took an inventory of my stock. The liquid has been in a dark drawer for up to a year. What I have noticed that is bothering me is that a lot of the liquid now reeks of maple syrup. I have a feeling I may be pitching a lot of bottles in the garbage.

Once the coil has been lit up a few times the residue left is dark and that transfers into the juice making it darker, not necessarily the juice turning on its own.

It depends on many factors, such as:
1) Quality of the ingredients used
2) Environment kept in

I've had juices go bad after 6 months, and some that lasted 2 years.
