Our multibuy deals give you lower prices and from time to time you might also wish to take advantage of special offers. For these reasons, you can certainly save money by ordering several bottles of juice.
It makes sense financially to order more juice than you need at that moment, but could those bottles expire and so become unusable?
The lifespans of e-liquids vary. Unopened bottles usually last 1-2 years, while opened bottles last around 6-12 months. It's worth noting that nicotine-free e-liquids last longer than those containing nicotine. Salt nicotine flavours will degrade more quickly than those featuring freebase nicotine.
A bottle that is beyond its expiry date may still be usable but changes could have occurred and here's why:
Nicotine is highly sensitive to oxygen.
When e-liquid is exposed to air:
UV light breaks down both nicotine and flavour compounds.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight or strong indoor lighting can:
E-liquids thin when exposed to heat. Chemical changes are accelerated by heat.
High temperatures can:
Leaving e-liquid in a hot car is one of the fastest ways to damage it.
Even under ideal conditions, flavour molecules slowly degrade.
This natural ageing is unavoidable, but it can be slowed.
Introducing foreign substances to a bottle can accelerate degradation.
Common sources of contamination include:
When you buy a large quantity of e-liquid for long-term storage, you may find it helpful to note the date of purchase. Once you’ve reached the point where the e-liquid has been in storage for several months, it’s time to start thinking about using it before the quality begins to suffer.
If you’re thinking about buying vape juice in bulk, you should plan how you are going to store it.
Heat and oxygen are the primary causes of degradation and so exposure to these factors should be avoided.
Here's how to store your flavours to maximise their lifespan:
E-liquids will last for longer than you might think. But they will eventually begin to degrade, regardless of what you do. You shouldn't experience any issues when you order sufficient juice for a month or two. But it wouldn't be advisable to invest in a year's worth or more.
