I just baught some juice online from a site selling juice from another company. I noticed the date on bottles were jan 1st 15, so there 6-7 months old. Wondering if this can effect taste, or should i just be happy its well steeped. I Know juice can last a year. It tastes fine im just curious if i should be concerned

Properly stored juice can last up to 2 years so no problem there.

I have had some junk juice go back in that amount of time. Stuff like Lizard juice and other station brands...this was years ago so i have no idea what they are like now...

I found an old bottle not too long ago and it smelled like a turtle urinated through a petrified log and then added something resembling menthol to it....

I agree with Breazy, properly stored I have juices well over a year old that still vape good flavor and nic mg are fine.

Click to expand...

Age certainly can affect taste due to the natural steeping process. However, there is no TRUE expiration on e-juice. My general rule of thumb... if its in an unopened plastic bottle I'll keep it for 1 year... unopened Glass, I'll keep for 2 years.
My theory.. ."When in doubt... throw it out". If it looks, smells, tastes funky... dump it.

Yeah i figured it would be fine. Tastes good and in glass dropper bottle. Just weird it's 6 months old buying it, but i guess thats due to wholesale. They probley got a ton of it few months back. Atleast it has a date. Some juices you buy from a store dont & you have no idea how long they had it.

Ya custards only improve with age. This is a fruit loops cereal I have, Its so good, i need to try other cereal flavors so far its my favorite. Says right on bottle the batch #, then mfg.Date: 01/15/2015 Exp. Date: 01/01/2016. I like that it has the dates, i also recently got a bottle of muffin man, which is a huge 180 ml bottle. It doesnt even say dates. I asked the store i ordered from here in Canada how long they had it & he said little over month. Im not to crazy bout muffin man but i have prob 160 ml left so id better start lol. Its not bad, just very sweet. I like sweet juices but muffin mans different

They vary. Some get better, others get worse.
With the natural flavors: Tobacco gets better as a rule while natural teas get milder and start to get boring after about 6 months. Real menthol stays the same with age. The nicotine gets more peppery as the weeks pass.

6 months old e juice is not bad but it depends on the life of nicotine VG and PG that how long it will be safe and tasty. It will be one or two years.

Depending upon storage conditions, also nicotine content. I found that my 18 mg juice tasted kinda funky after about 6 months. Stored in glass, away from heat and light. Breakdown of the nicotine perhaps. Certain flavors or flavor combinations may contribute to shelf life, but cannot be certain about that.

I agree with @Arnie H it depends on nicotine level. When I was vaping high nicotine level juice it didn't seem to be that good after 6 months. Now that I am on a low nicotine level I have had no problems.
