Using concentrates/nic beyond use-by date?

[amygx]

Hi all,

I haven't been on here for quite a while and I'm ashamed to say that I went back to smoking the stinkies. I won't go in to details but just to say something happened in my life that made me quite depressed and stressed out and I found myself slipping.

I'm not doing too bad now and starting to get back to normal and want to get back in to my vaping and once again give up the stinkies.

I've been digging out some of my old kit and still have a lot of my old juices in the cupboard which after sitting there un-touched for about 6 months smell absolutely amazing. The thing is I'm running out of RA and want to mix some more but the RA concentrates I have (about 150ml worth in 4-5 unopened bottles) say they're only good until March 2018

Do you think it is safe for me to still use those concentrate?

Will my nicotine still be good, its been sat in the freezer for about a year as I stock piled before the TPD and haven't opened them?

Thanks and please don't hate me for using the stinkies.

I do it all the time amygx with concentrates . . . . and as I'm using nic base that's been sat in the freezer for 7 years, it's fair to say I think using any of your old supplies is going to be safer for you than smoking.

On a general note, I pay no attention whatsoever to any Use By dates and let my nose, taste and common sense guide me.

This is what my 7 year old VG Nicotine Base looks like, after it's been stored in amber glass bottles decanted on receipt, prior to going in the freezer. . . . as I've just drawn some off for Colin today.

Okay thank you. I'll give them a sniff and do some mixing

No way, amygx, all sinners at one time or another here!

By the way, I have concs going back to 2015 that I still use and they seem fine to me...
