Red Astaire shelf life from mixing date?

[Dan]

Hi guys, quick question if I may?

I finally jumped on the Red Astaire bandwagon last month and finally got around to getting some concentrate ordered last week.

question is, what would the shelf life be of each mix I made roughly before the taste begins to suffer?

figure I may as well make the most of it before the concentrates are pulled from sales!

many thanks

Dan

2 years in a cool dark place, same as any other mixed eliquid . . . and I don't believe for a moment that flavouring concentrates are going to be removed from sale dan. Not unless home baking is also put on the banned list.

But what about us tobacco flavour mixers?

Dan ... why bother to premix your concentrate and then store it? Could you not just stockpile the concentrate, freeze it and then mix as and when you require?

"Hi good FB peeps, Nige here.
I would appreciate if all FB fans do not act on the post from ******* (removed by publisher in good faith), as it is totally against our company policy and kept on our FB page solely as a warning.
We have had quite a few people making a business reselling mixed concentrates in our name, which is totally against our company policy and undermines our resellers. If it continues, and people support it by buying from these people, I will pull T-Juice concentrates from our offering, which I really do not want to do!!
T-Juice concentrates are solely for the DIY market/ peeps and not for commercial use in any way.
I actually find this quite unbelievable!
LOL Nige"

Typical of a greedy few people to ruin it for the masses. Tjuice selling their concentrates is great as a single shot mixer, at the moment other than PVC I don't mix anything other due to the ease and quality of the flavours.

Cool! Just what I wanted to hear! I only ask as I know jtr starts to lose it's edge as it ages.. wondered if RA was the same....

I'm just going on the quote on facebook.. some unscrupulous gits ruining it for everyone else.. wasn't meaning all concentrates.. just the T Juice ones.. seen many people selling homemade RA for a profit..

Laziness! Pure and simple!!

All my juices are kept in a safe once mixed to keep away from the kids and I have plenty of space lol

I just find it easier mixing up big lots and using as I need it.. I'm going through a lot more juice since dual coiling the kayfuns too!

(Pvc, dual microcoil @ 1.8ohms. Dani set at 20w. Pure bliss!!! Fogs up the room pretty good too being 50/50..

That's disgraceful, I'm not remotely surprised by Nige's reaction either.

Why is it the few, always love to spoil things for the majority that play fair.

Saw that, really hope the few don't spoil it for the rest of us!

It's one thing making a few flavours for family or friends, which I'm sure many of us do . . . but that's just taking the p*** making a business of it.

Not amused.

Concentrates can't be banned there's no nicotine in them.

I've just made up 300ml of RA so that should last me a week or so !

[xs2man]

WOW. I hope he doesn't pull the concentrates from sale. I just bought 100ml of RA concentrate, so I'll be okay for a while, but I was pretty pleased with myself for managing a decent price for such quantities, and was gonna buy some MTF in that size too. And was hoping to just keep buying in that size, as it does work out considerably cheaper.

[Dan]

Where can you buy it in 100ml bottles xs2man?

Just about to order some more but I'm all for saving some money!

I'd have thought the unopened flavour concentrate would store much better than a mixed juice. Not based on any experience or science, just thinking about the whole steeping thing.
