How to tell if e-liquid is broken?
Vape has gradually received widespread attention and popularity in recent years, but for vape users, they may encounter some problems, such as e-liquid deterioration. So, how to judge that e-liquid is broken?
The shelf life of e-liquid is basically 24 months, but what is puzzling is what is the shelf life of flavors, VG, and PG? So, if these ingredients have a shelf life, wouldn’t the 24-month shelf life be less accurate? For example, if the e-liquid produced from a fragrance that has been stored for several years and is close to its shelf life, can still have a shelf life of 24 months?
There is also the issue of vape. Does the e-liquid in the cartridges delivered by the vape you buy also have a shelf life of 24 months? The e-liquid in disposable vapes has been mixed with heating wire and oil-conducting cotton, and the sealing performance is not good. What is their shelf life? Personally, I think that you cannot judge whether e-liquid is broken based on the production date and 24-month shelf life, but must rely on certain experience.
First of all, a common symptom of e-liquid deterioration is that the taste becomes bland or off-flavor. This may be caused by the e-liquid components evaporating or deteriorating. If you find that the taste is different from usual when using your vape, then you need to consider whether the e-liquid has gone bad.
Secondly, another manifestation of e-liquid deterioration is color change. Normally, the color of e-liquid is relatively clear and transparent. If you find that the e-liquid becomes turbid or the color becomes very dark, it may also be a sign that the e-liquid has deteriorated.
In addition, many vape users may encounter the situation of not knowing the production date of e-liquid. At this time, you can judge whether the e-liquid has expired by observing the packaging. Generally speaking, the e-liquid packaging will have information such as the production date and expiration date printed on it. If the expiration date is exceeded, the e-liquid has deteriorated.
However, sometimes it is not easy to judge whether e-liquid has gone bad based on surface phenomena such as taste and color, because different e-liquid brands and types may have different characteristics and performances. Therefore, if you have any doubts about whether e-liquid has gone bad, it is best not to use it to avoid any impact on your health.
In order to ensure the quality and taste of e-liquid, vape users need to pay attention to the storage method and shelf life of e-liquid. e-liquid should be stored in a sealed container away from direct sunlight, high temperature, humidity and other harsh environments, and should be used within the expiration date.
Determining whether e-liquid has deteriorated requires comprehensive consideration of a variety of factors, including taste, color, production date, and expiration date. If you have any doubts about whether e-liquid has gone bad, it is best not to use it to avoid any impact on your health. At the same time, pay attention to the storage method and usage period of e-liquid to ensure the quality and taste of e-liquid.
