When you buy e-liquid, where do you keep it? On the counter? Forgotten about in a drawer? Left in the car? Usually, we have a habit of wherever we go, our e-liquid goes.

Doing this will prolong your favourite flavours, this is especially true if you have a DIY liquid and is something we call steeping, this is the process of allowing the flavours to blend together to give your liquid the punch you’re after.

Expiration dates are an estimation and over a long period of time there’s no guarantee the e-liquid will have the same quality as that of a new bottle.
There are a few tell tale signs of an expired or bad liquid, however, keep an eye out for the following to make sure you’re only vaping the highest quality liquids:
Look after your liquids!
