Juice technically does not expire... However, you are right, it does degrade at a certain point. My general rule of thumb...i was thinking about stocking up on the few juices i like. but i'm wondering.
if juice improves with steeping, at some point, it will start to degrade.
how long will good juice last?
will freezing keep it good longer?
^^^THIS^^^My experience/opinion differs 180 degrees. Nicotine oxidizes quickly.
The minute you add nicotine to juice, (and contact with air) it begins to decay in earnest.
Your juices will go from clearish to gold and darker within a couple months.
Year old juice is not a good taste either.
But the good news is that you CAN expect a year or two of your stored juice remaining clear and delicious
if ya just don't add the nic until you begin vaping it. Seriously, that's the secret to longevity.
imo, even year old No-Nic juice will lose a tiny bit of flavor; some flavors fade more quickly.
But the same exact year-old nicotine premixed juice will taste like nic. This is because
nicotine oxides at a muuuch faster rate than inert ingredients like PG & VG.
But obv, you can't do this if you're buying pre-made juices.
This, to me is one of the greatest advantages of DIY.
Not that I'm trying to entice you into the dark arts of making your own juices... but we do have cookies.
thanks, guys.
i was kinda hoping to store several year's supply to guard against unfriendly govt action.
dyi is not for me.
most juices i hate n the ones i like i can't taste what i'm supposed to taste.
Vaping is only as complicated as you make it. It can be very simple if you don't overthink things. Just get a decent setup, a good tasting juice and enjoy. Don't put the pressure of gov't what if's on yourself like that. PG, VG, nicotine, and flavorings will ALWAYS be available. There is no need to worry about that.that makes sense.
vaping is very hard.
i've spent countless hours trying to figure out what mooch has to say.
now i gotta study dyi?
cigarettes start to look appealing.
Nicotine ain't going nowhere.pami, you think nicotine is safe?
i kinda thot that they'd hit that.
Nicotine ain't going nowhere.
what i on't get is that storing nicotine in the freezer makes it last, why does freezing juice not work?
Nicotine has multiple other uses besides being in tobacco. It's main use is as a pesticide.I truly hope you are right but honestly, I am not nearly as confident about that as you. Nicotine is clearly under the purview of the FDA and as such, they could shut down private purchase of it at any time. There aren't any valid consumer uses for it outside of vape juice that I am aware of so I can't see any recourse for us if they do decide to restrict availability.
I'm not trying to a Debbie Downer here, I just think it's prudent to consider the possibility. To my knowledge, the FDA hasn't indicated this is imminent or even likely but it is a weak link in our ability to be self reliant and for that reason, I think it would a mistake to assume the FDA won't use that power against us.
