How long do vape juices last?

The answer is that after purchasing, your e-liquid shelf life can last up to two years if it has been stored correctly.

Value for money or what? This isn’t us saying that every vape juice will go bad after two years,

different ingredients can also have an impact on determining how long vape juices last.

PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerine) are featured in all vape juices whilst differing in quantities and both can affect the properties of your vape juice.

In short, liquids that are high in VG provide a smoother throat hit and denser cloud production, however liquids high in PG provide richer flavour whilst also preserving the e-liquid for longer,

giving you a longer vape juice shelf life.

It’s important to check the percentage ratio of PG to VG in your liquid before purchasing, it’s also worth mentioning

that you shouldn’t choose a liquid that’s high in PG for the sole reason that you want it to last longer, you should choose a ratio that suits your style of

vaping and is compatible with your device and coil resistance.
