Herbal e-liquid shelf life
In recent years, with the increase in health awareness, more and more people are choosing to use vape as an alternative to traditional tobacco. In the vape market, herbal e-liquid is welcomed by many consumers as a healthy and natural option. However, the shelf life of herbal e-liquid seems to be shorter than that of regular e-liquid, which confuses many consumers. This article will answer and discuss the shelf life issue of herbal e-liquid.
1. The reason why herbal e-liquid has a short shelf life.
The shelf life of herbal e-liquid is usually only a few months, which is indeed a big gap compared to the 24-month shelf life of ordinary electronic e-liquid. The main reasons are as follows:
Herbal Extracts: Herbal e-liquid contains herbal extracts. These natural ingredients are more susceptible to oxidation and decomposition without preservatives, resulting in a shortened shelf life.
No preservatives: In pursuit of naturalness and health, herbal e-liquid usually does not add preservatives. This makes e-liquid more susceptible to bacterial and microbial contamination during storage and use, further shortening the shelf life.
2. Performance of herbal e-liquid deterioration.
During use, consumers may find that the herbal e-liquid or herbal vape changes flavor. This is usually one of the symptoms of e-liquid deterioration. When testing returned products, e-liquid manufacturers found that deterioration usually occurs between three and six months of use. It is important to note that the shelf life of herbal e-liquid may vary depending on the herbal extract or on a different vape.
3. Improvement suggestions.
Regarding the short shelf life of herbal e-liquid, here are some suggestions for improvement:
Add an appropriate amount of preservatives: On the premise of ensuring that the product is natural and healthy, you can add an appropriate amount of preservatives to extend the shelf life of herbal e-liquid.
Storage conditions: After purchasing herbal e-liquid, consumers should pay attention to the storage conditions, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environments, and try to store it in a cool and dry place.
Use fresh e-liquid: When purchasing herbal e-liquid, it is recommended that consumers try to choose products with a recent production date, and pay attention to the smell and taste of the e-liquid during use. Once signs of deterioration are found, they should stop using it immediately.
In conclusion, herbal e-liquid, as a healthy and natural e-liquid option, does have a shorter shelf life. Consumers should pay attention to storage conditions and shelf life during purchase and use, and try to choose fresh products. At the same time, manufacturers can also add an appropriate amount of preservatives to extend the shelf life while ensuring product quality. By working together, we believe we can better enjoy the health and pleasure brought by herbal e-liquid.
