As a new substitute for paper cigarettes, electronic cigarettes also have their shelf life. Electronic cigarettes rely on Vape Juice to provide smoke flavor. The shelf life of electronic cigarettes is actually the shelf life of Vape Juice. Let’s take a look at the shelf life of Vape Juice. For how long, and can expired Vape Juice still be vaped.
How long does Vape Juice last?
With proper storage of Vape Juice, the perfect shelf life should be as long as 2 years, based on an estimate of the oxidation process of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin and nicotine.
Simply put, if you buy a regular Vape Juice and keep it in a glass bottle in a cool place, your Vape Juice is likely to last beyond the expiration date after opening the lid. Although the shelf life of Vape Juice is usually marked as one to two years, it can actually continue to be used for more than three years.
Can I still smoke expired Vape Juice?
To reiterate here, the expiration date of Vape Juice comes down to the liquid in the bottle, not the words printed on it. If the Vape Juice has been out of the factory for 1 year, the printed shelf life on the outside may have already expired. If it looks and smells good, then you have nothing to worry about. Small color changes may be due to oxidation; everyone is advised to judge your Vape Juice for yourself. If you have concerns about your Vape Juice that has been stored for a long time, then don’t use it, just throw it away.
How to Correctly Store Your Vape Juice?
In order to prevent the components inside Vape Juice from being chemically synthesized into other substances too quickly, or completely oxidized, and to make the taste of Vape Juice more mellow, it is necessary to control the surrounding environment, slow down the oxidation reaction that is taking place in Vape Juice itself, and accelerate the internal alcoholization reaction. The best way is to store Vape Juice in a cool dark place to slow down the oxidation process.
Similarly, opened Vape Juice is the same, it needs to be stored in a cool place, but it is recommended to seal it with plastic wrap first. Because VG has strong water absorption, it is necessary to isolate Vape Juice from direct contact with the air, so as not to allow Vape Juice to absorb too much water, resulting in weak taste and lost aroma, which can be stored for a longer time.
Conclusion
Like anything else, e-juice expires. Essentially, if something smells, tastes, or appears out of the norm, steer clear and reinvest in a new supply. Consuming expired juice might not be life-threatening, but it’s certainly not a pleasant or effective experience.
Also, how you store your vape juice can have a considerable impact on how long it lasts. If you want your bottles to stay fresh for as long as possible, keep them sealed and out of direct sunlight and heat.
