Aged E-Liquid

[Compenstine]

I want to start this off with a disclaimer.

Don't try this at home.

I was looking through some totes I have in storage for a Halloween prop for my wife. While doing this I came across something I had totally forgot about.

I'm a Huge fan of cinnamon and I had set out to make the perfect cinnamon vape. I wanted it to taste like cinnamon. Not the artificial cinnamon like candy, but the real ma coy. Before I did things as I do now I had tried soaking Cinnamon sticks in PG/VG. While it was ok, it was not as strong as I would have liked it. I know that it is recommended that 1 year is the limit for storage. I still would say that to anyone that is looking to store e-Liquid for any length of time. Well, tonight, I had my socks blown off.

I found a 16ozs of 80/20 that had cinnamon sticks steeping in it for 5 years. It was a bottle I had stared back in 2009 and has been sitting a tote in storage. I was expecting it to smell Nasty musty and old, but I had to give it a whiff. OMG It smelled simply Divine!!! No Joke! Instead of tossing it out I set it aside while I looked for what I was wanting. I brought it up to my lab and had to check it out. There was no mold or any funny looking film growing it. I poured some out in a beaker and it looked as clean as if It were made that today. It has a rich dark mahogany color to it that you can still see through.

I decided to rewick my RDA and give it a vape. Again I was expecting it to have a nasty musty moldy taste. It was the best Cinnamon vape I have ever had!! Granted it was strong, but in a good way. You may think that I was totally nuts to try it and maybe so. But, It is the absolute hands down the best Cinnamon taste I have ever had.

Mmmmm. Cinnamon. How does this compare to your cinnamon stick juice?

[Compenstine]

I hate to say it but it has much deeper flavor. Both are good, but IMO, the aged is better.

Private Reserve! Sounds freakin deliscious!

[Compenstine]

I just loaded up a Mega Tank that I had won in the Ashgone contest a while back. It is like vaping a fine wine. I'm in Cinnamon heaven right now. Best part is it is -0- NIC so I can't get NIC sick. Whoot!

[Bebop]

I say mix a little of that with some birthday cake and you could end up with the best cinnamon roll on the planet.

This the best story I've heard since, I dunno, it's like when you hear a story about some guy who found a '65 Chevelle with 3,000 miles on it ...........or your uncle's barber who was cleaning out the attic and discovers a mint condition 1957 Gibson Les Paul.......

Sounds like you hit the mother load! You might want to get some more steeping now lol. My wife loves anything cinnamon but my taste changed as I got older and I cant do much of it anymore.

Oh, Yeah, I can see it now. The year is 2035, The auctioneer starts out with "Now we have lot #(whatever). A fine vintage 2009 juice made by Fadora with all natural ingredients. What am I bid, yadda yadda yadda". The bidding climbs higher and higher with E-Juice connisouers from all corners of the country battling it out. The auction ending with a winning bid of $5000 for this rare vintage naturally flavored juice.

Might be witnessing the ground floor of a vintage juice craze. Now ya gotta design a line of primo juices, a fancy schmancy label, a juice cellar, an investment club, etc, etc.

Man, I'm gonna get rich........If I live that long.

Sounds delicious Comp. All of my juices that I let get several months old turn a dark brown color but taste so much better then when I put it away. If I don't like a juice I put it in a bag in a cabinet for the kids or coworkers that may ask if I have any of a certain flavor they can try. About every 2 or 3 months when I go digging around in the bag to get something out I will come across some juices that have turned that color and give it another try. Most of the time it has gotten much better. I wonder why yours stays clear and mine gets that mud brown color?

[Compenstine]

I feel like I hit the lottery with this. I have been vaping it all day and no ill affects.

HAHAHA I like the idea aufin but I'm a little hesitant to sell it with it being that old. I could add a disclaimer...

Patricia, The darkness comes from the nicotine. If a vendor is using Nicotine in a PG base it will turn dark muddy brown even in a protected bottle. I use only VG base nicotine in my E-Liquid. I have found it will not discolor in a VG base like it does in a PG base.

Bebop... I plan on testing it in some of my recipes. If it as good cut like it is strait I may be making more. It won't be for 5 years but, yes at least 1-2 years steeped.

Couldn't you get a vacumn sealer and vacumn seal the liquids so that even though the liquid inside the container has a year or two of steep time it wouldnt be exposed to outside contaminants thus it would be good as long as the seal wasnt broken.

[Compenstine]

That's not a bad thought. This was sealed at the time I started and had only been opened a couple times back when I had started it. Other wise it was sealed the whole time.

[Mike]

That sounds good, I think I'll give it a try. I'll let you know how it turns out in November of 2019. lol ...but seriously, this was a good read.

[Compenstine]

LOL Yeah is sure is not a fast way of making it. If the Planet is still here I'll Pm yea when it is ready.
