DPCardoza Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 How long roughly should the juice stay good in its container if opened. Just want to gauge how many to buy at a time knowing I may be switching flavors fairly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) It varies depending on juice ingredients and storage conditions but generally if you store your juice in a moderate environment (away from heat and light) the consensus is about a year.

Tam Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I agree with Bebop. After a year it's...iffy depending on the juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yep BeBop has it right. Some can last longer if stored properly. But, I would not vape anything over a year old. Once opened I wouldn't let it go more than 6-7 months. Air can also cause the Nic to discolor the juice. Best way to store it is in cool dark place. Placing it in the refrigerator is best for extended storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 To have it last longer would you recomend keeping it in the fridge? I can imagine the dangers if in a family setting but since I live alone... I control my fridge PRETTY well haha. I was thinking about this the other day... Obviously it wont be tomorrow. BUT... When and if they start regulating this passion of ours. I can almost guarentee that the prices are going to go up. That being said, Ive been thinking of stacking up on juice. Obviously a years worht of juice is A LOT. but given that a 30ml bottle lasts me a couple weeks TO THE LEAST, Im thinking of getting a lot more. Anyone actualy have "bad" juice? wouldnt just shaking it "remix" the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 For me, I'm not going to stock up on juice anymore than I already do just trying new flavors. For a new vaper I wouldn't recommend it, either. Your taste buds are changing and will continue to change. What tastes great to you today may be awful tomorrow so, if you stock up on a particular flavor now.... I think you see where this is going? Until we see what kind of legislation goes through I think I'll take the wait and see approach. Regardless of new regulations, they won't be set into place immediately so there will be a window of time to stock up if need be. Just my two cents anyway.

Tam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 As much as I've changed juices (with the exception of two flavors), I'd hate to think I bought several hundred mls of something I can't stand anymore. Compenstine and christov11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've used juices that were at or just beyond the 1-yr life (those gifted to me with close expiration date on bottle), and they tasted as good as one that was only a couple months old... but as stated, that will vary by juice contents, flavor, and manufacturer. One year is a good rule, IMO For me, personally, I've not been vaping for a year yet, so anything I've bought, and not yet used, is still well within it's birth-year so to speak. For those flavors that I vape daily (~20ml / day), I have no issues buying in bulk (180-360ml bundles). It saves costs, and there is no danger of any of those bottles sitting around longer than 3-6 months. Every other flavors I vape "occasionally" are purchased in 30ml quantities (again, cost factors).... Some see 1-2ml per week use... some a bit more... but even at 1ml per week, it will be used easily within a year. If I buy something new to try and I don't like the flavor (or tire of it too quickly), it gets gifted away, so I don't have those sitting around either. Oh, sure, 100 bottles of juice look awesome on the shelf... until they are covered in dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I've had one bottle go really bad in a month, but it was a presteeped from a mall store, the others just Dont last that long although.. I'm going to stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I picked up 180ml of juice last night... while I was at the local B&M... and just checked the date on the sides: Four bottles say "Best if used by May 2016"... so roughly two-years from date of manufacture on those. The other two bottles say "Liquid expires one year from date of purchase"... so they obviously have over a year of shelf-life, because who knows how long they sit on the shelf before they're sold? Although they do a booming business in juices there because of their great prices and selection, so I doubt anything would sit more than 4-6 months, even if it's a crappy flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Here this was a china made juice, it obviously had been there a while. It wasn't the best to begin w and waited a month went back and it went to the trash.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
