Hi…ive just noticed my nicotine went out of date last month. Is it still ok to use & how long can I use it till its actually gone off ?
Cheers

Since its out of date and you didn’t say it tastes like battery acid, I’m assuming you keep it in the freezer. I have some that’s been in my deep freezer for 3+ years. I did test a couple of the older bottles and the nicotine content had not decreased and it tastes fine. I do put it in colored glass bottles, freezer bag, then a plastic tub with lid. The glass bottles reduce oxidation, the other stuff is to make sure none spills.
I’ve been told in the past that the nicotine produces a brownish colour when it degrades? Not noticed anything myself, I only keep small bottles in the fridge and seem to go through a small bottle fairly quickly. Don’t know if anyone can confirm this but might be worth looking out for
if you stored it properly there may not be an issue at all , i would highly recommend getting a titration kit they sell them at @Nicotine_River and @ecigexpress has nicotine test kits
Mines been kept in a box in the dark for about a year, it is brown tho. I think to be on the safe side I’ll buy a fresh bottle…thanks for the info & help
yes if your nicotine is brown id toss it and get a new bottle , buy some 4oz amber glass bottles and separate your nic in those bottles and freeze them keep one out for personal use
The only thing that supposedly happens is that the nicotine will weaken - if, however, you notice a change in taste, I’d get some new stuff (to avoid the off taste)… Otherwise it should be OK…
Ahh many thanks for that, not going to be able to get any now till Monday, good job I got a stash of e-liquids lol
