E juice, does it have a shelf life?

[Galaxyrider]

I go thru 20 mls a week, so I've started making my juice up by the 100ml bottle. How long is PG, VG, and flavor good for? I dont use nic, if that makes a difference.

i still use juice that i've had around for more than a year and am still alive, so i think you are fine at 5 weeks

I was just looking at bottles, I'm thinking that in the near future, I may have quite a collection, Id rather make up 500 mls at a time, than having to make up a 20 every 5 days. I have about 5 berry flavors I like, then there are fruits, candies, and I cant forget the coffees.

eJuices can have a pretty long lifespan. If you store them in air-tight bottles that are not opened day-in day-out, you can expect your e-juice to last anywhere from 12 to 24 months.

However, there are other factors in play like the purity of the nicotine used, the quality of the flavoring and the manufacturing process. It’s hard to determine the exact lifespan, but 12-to-24 months is a good ballpark figure.

well don't quote me on this, but i have been involved in discussions where people said that they have kept juice over 2 years and it's still ok. including all the juice i have made and the stuff i have bought pre-made, i probably have over 2000 ml. since i only vape 3-4 ml per day, i am lousy with juice! and yet i still buy more. what is wrong with me?

I've still got some that's close to 4 years old. I actually should just throw it away. But many months can pass and it'll be fine. My Boba's Bounty has been sitting here taunting me for at least six months and it tasted wonderful last week when i finally got up enough nerve to use some of it up.

Two years is what EC Blends told me when I asked them over 2 years ago.

Probably longer if you store in the fridge.

In my best guess, Id say there is nothin wrong... you just like it.. I have the same problem.. 'sept I make mine.. I need to get bigger bottles, I want to start putting it up by the 200ml bottle I'll still have a big collection.

For me, the darker (more oxidized ) it gets the less time I will have to use it...Per my taste buds

I have actually had juice get "better" as it sat longer (love me some White Peach a la Zoe from ECBlends at 1 month steep time in the cupboard)...darker it got the better it tasted
Then again I have had some juice just loose all its flavor after a month or so sitting

I guess it's just based on what is in it and the quality of the product that you get
