I recently went to a new B&M tried some of their flavors and really liked them. In fact I've found my go to vape (for now).
Mind you the other one wasn't bad, just not as good. I've been working my way thru juice from both.

I just pulled out a bottle of what a few days ago was a respectable blueberry. Filled the tank, primed the wick, took a hit, and gagged.

Thinking maybe that coil had had 1 dry burn to many I changed to another, put it all back together, primed, pushed the button.
Again what I can only describe as a flavor that closely resembles the aroma of my teenage son's sneakers.

The store dates their batches, it's just about a month old. The first 2 tank fulls were fine? How quick can juice go bad?

The other flavor's in my arsenal seem fine, at least the 2 I've used since. I keep them in an opaque box away from heat and light.

It's had time to steep and was fine as recently as 3 maybe 4 days ago. It did need steeping when it was new took about a week for the flavor to come in.

I called the shop the and they said they haven't had any other complaints on this batch. Said they have a list they they keep track of them on and will add this batch on it. He said they keep a list not because they have alot of problems, but because w/several people working they want to make sure they keep track of them, to catch patterns. (+1 for them).

I guess I'll give it a few days and see if it changes back or the shop gets more complaints, but I am not looking foward to checking it again....

I know everybody says it's usually good for a year or more but you have to wonder. Some of these places don't use artificial flavorings. Which means they aren't going to last as long unless they are refrigerated. I'm no expert but that's the way it seems to me. If it's organic, at some point it will need to be put in the fridge or risk going bad.

I have always kept all of my premixed eliquids in the refridge. I know, some will poopoo this, but it has always worked for me in keeping the flavors fresh. Haven't had anything go bad yet. The only ones I keep at room temp are the ones I am currently vaping. when I find flavors I like, I buy huge bottles(120ml) and when I am ready to vape one, I pour a 30ml bottle and put the bigger bottle back in the refridge. Have been doing this almost the whole time I have vaped. YMMV.
