Out of date juices?

[Deaf Vaper]

That's the thing abour ejuices...many of them simply state 'flavourings' in the indregients list, & they don't always state if they're natural or artificial too, although i suspect mine are probably the latter.

Thanks for the link..i'll have a butchers, ta!

Easy answer - vape more/bigger clouds

(says the bloke who has a vast stash of DIY ingredients now for the next 5 years or so)

I'm not really into the whole cloud chasing scene...mainly a MTLer, with one or tow stock DTL set ups for these V&G juices. I'm just trying to secure as many packets of these V&G juices before they dissappear for good...as they're lush!

The action of freezing preserves the juices for longer then..I could do that...i've got 3 freezers! I'm sure i could make space in one of them!!

I`m more worried that you have 3 freezers

Well....we had just a seperate fridge and freezer a coupla years ago, then got a new full height fridge/freezer combo when we got the kitchen refitted, but we kept the old fridge and freezer from the old kitchen (seeing as there was nothing wrong with them), now put in our utility room..and then me sister moved out of her flat last year when she moved in with her boyfrend...so asked us if we could keep her freezer as well! Which we did, cos it was a matching pair to the old fridge unit we had in the old kitchen.

Let's just say, we don't like throw anything away that's still fit for purpose!

Hi folks,

Just wondering if any of the ingredients in a typical bottle of premade ejuice, degrades over time? Especially after they've passed their sell by date? Do they go off, so to speak?

I recently bought approx 40 3 x 10ml packets of out of date stock, (made by a now defunct manufacturer of vape juices), very cheaply from one UK vendor i found selling them off at out of date clearance price. When i received them, some of the packets were 6 months passed SBD. Currently they're fine, taste as expected & the nicotine hit is there & i keep them in a cool dark cupboard, no probs yet. But will they 'go off' the older they get? I know the nicotine can go off if the bottle is exposed to sunlight for too long...but that's about it. What i have currently 'in stock' could last me 6 to 9 months and i want to get more, knowing that the only remaining stock left now, will also be well passed their SBDs.

I'm asking, because the vendor I got them from, still has approx 300 packets remaining for sale, I'd like to snap up as many as i can, before they disappear for good. If i purchase another 150 more packets or so, then i could well have enough to see me good for another 2-3 years! I roughly vape through half to one tankful (5ml tank) a day.

So, how long can premade juices keep 'fresh', so to speak?

Also, does the plastic bottles leach into the juice over time too? As i dunno what type of plastic the little 10mls are made of, but this could be an issue too, maybe?

Wow what an awesome deal you got yourself there @Deaf Vaper Got some great advice too. @BULLDOG1964 is right, I have noticed that my juices get better the longer they steep. I had a bottle of my frog cookies for many months cause I dual fueled and misplaced it when I stopped vaping. Then started vaping again and bought another bottle of it. Found the bottle I misplaced months later it was half full and much darker than the new bottle but oh my word was it better flavor than the new one!! And it was a liquid with super sweet in it

Like @StrawberryRipple idea too cause some of those liquids you got might already be nice and steeped well

Nice find!!
Congrats!!

There's plenty more to snap up at a steal of a price (seeing as they are 'expired'). I haven't noticed any improvement in flavour with the ones i currently vape, which were 'brewed' late last year, but the flavour is quite strong anyway. Being desert flavours, they're quite sweet. My favourite is Cookies & Ice Cream flavour, closely followed by Cherry Bakewell..both lush! Not bad for £1.75 a 30 mls. They're quite dark in colour too, be interesting to see if they darken more in time.

Would you like to get some? I know you live in the grand US of A, so I expect they'll be additional P&P costs to your country..but still £1.75 a 3 pack is pretty cheap for a nice vape! I got mine free P&P, as i went over they're minimum spend to get it.

Another flavour i've come to like is Botany Bay, by another defunct UK manufacture, Phileas Fogg Vape. A Watermelon flavour..it's very smoooooth! PF's Eton Mess is pretty far out too, strawberry is very realistic. Still can buy remaining stock from one UK vendor..El Diablo juices, i think.

Wow!!! I did a conversion online for the conversion rate for the past month and 1.75 Pound Sterling = $2.23 dollars about 2.25 wowsers!!! I paid 8.95 for 1 30 ml bottle on Thursday and that was a half off day!!!
I paid 18.00 for the 60 ml bottle of the naked juice I bought.

Wowsers that's an awesome deal!!!

I've still got some 30ml bottles from before tpd which i use now for stealth vaping at the football, nowt up with them i find no difference at all, there's no way i could use my own mixes at the footie.
