Do Disposable Vapes Expire?

Have you bought or tried any disposable vape? Disposable vapes are really friendly for beginners or users who are looking for a simple vaping solution. They are pre-filled with flavorful e-liquid and do not need maintenance. So do you wonder if they will expire? Can the disposables go bad? Of course the answer is yes that disposable vapes and e-juices expire. The expiration date is indicated on the package which is also an estimate date.

E-liquid is mainly composed of propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG) which have very low volatility so they can last for 1 to 2 years. However, other substance such as nicotine and flavorings will affect the lifespan of e-liquid.

It is a long process that e-liquid goes bad if put e-juice in the normal conditions. The components of e liquid begin to break down sooner when exposed to sunlight or extreme heat directly. Then we may ask, how do we know it goes bad?

1. Color Change

The color change is one of the most obviously sign that disposable vape liquid goes bad. When the e-liquid is expected to be darker than original, especially contains nicotine. Nicotine is a highly reactive chemical and exposing it to oxygen, or even light, can cause it to react and turn the color of vape juice into darker brown color.

If you buy several disposable vape device at once, it is better to open the one you’d like to vape right now. Because new disposable vapes come with a sealing bag to avoid oxidation.

2. Smell Becomes Unpleasant and Bad Aftertaste

Smelling is a quick whiff to judge if your disposable vape is past its prime. There are plenty of vape e-juice flavors for disposable vapes, including fruity flavor, dessert flavor, menthol flavor, and etc.. Except of PG and VG, most of them are added natural or food artificial flavors to provide more choice to users. The fresh vape juice has pleasant smell. As time goes by, the smell may change to be odd or disgusting. It is also a sign that e-liquids go bad.

3. Its Ingredients are Separating

The heavier chemical elements of e-liquid will naturally sink to the bottom of disposable vape tank. Separation is normal in any mixed elements liquid and you can shake and mix them as before. Therefore, if the contents cannot mix together after a shake, it is time to change a new one.
