What is the shelf life of Vegetable Glycerin?

[Horselady154]

I'm trying to figure out how large a bottle to order.

i go with one litter bottles. i think is around 1 year or perhaps 1.5.
so is 1L VG 1L PG and 500ml of 100mg/ml nic. it gives 2.5L of 18mg/ml juice and you still have plenty of nic left. plenty of juice for 1 year

A factory sealed, unopened bottle of Glycerin USP can last up to five years if stored at cool room temperatures away from direct light. That's why I use CVS Glycerin USP. Batch numbers and expiration date are printed on the bottle. I buy these in town at $10 for two 6 oz. bottles.

Once the seal is broken on any container of Glycerin USP it should be used within 12-18 months. I use up an opened 6 oz. bottle within several weeks at the most.

The CVS Glycerin USP is made by Humco. From what I've read Humco supplies all of the Glycerin USP sold in US drug stores. If you buy it from Walmart, Rite-Aid or any other drug store you are getting the same product but with a different brand name. 6 fl. oz. is 177 ml.
