7 tips to make your e-juice last longer

E-juice is an integral part of vaping. With more people taking a liking to e-cigarattes, it is important to know some tips and tricks to the perfect vaping experience. Is your vape juice running out faster than you can say “next month’s paycheck”? If so, we have created a list of 7 tips to make your vape juice last longer. 

Why Does e-Juice Run Out So Fast?

There are a couple of reasons why your e-juice might not be lasting you as long as it should. Chief among them is that your tank may be damaged or improperly filled. You should try cleaning out the center tube with a paper towel and if the problem persists then it is time to get a new tank. 

Usage is also a factor in the longevity of e-juice, given that the average vaper vapes about 2-3ml of juice a day, a normal-sized 30ml bottle of vape juice should last you roughly 10 – 15 days. So if you consume more than the average vaper, you will be buying more than the average vaper. 

How To Store e-Juice Properly

e-juice is extremely sensitive and the biggest threats to its longevity and shelf life are heat; light and air, with heat being the biggest culprit. Heat unlike, light and air, can actually change the chemical composition of your vape juice and essentially alter the taste. This is because heat energizes the molecules in the juice, allowing them to break down and interact with the flavour compounds in your vape juice. Heat can degrade your vape juice in a matter of hours. 

The effects of light and air on the other hand, take much longer to be noticeable and have less impact on taste. Oxygen in the air oxidizes nicotine to produce cotinine and light from the sun provides energy for this chemical process, helping it along. The more this reaction happens, the higher the concentration of cotinine and the lower the concentration of nicotine you have left in your vape juice. The overall taste is not really affected but the kick you get from the nicotine will definitely be less effective.

Long term storage

Perhaps you want to buy vape juice in bulk and store it in your house, the same general rules still apply but extra precautions should be done to ensure optimal preservation. If you plan on storing the vape juice for a few weeks then it is safe to use plastic bottles, while of course ensuring to keep the bottles away from any heat, light, and air.

If you are planning for long-term storage then it would be beneficial to store your vape juice in glass tinted bottles. Unlike plastic, glass has the added advantage of being impermeable to air while also limiting interactions with the container over time. 

You can also keep your vape juice bottles in the fridge or freezer, this maintains the chemical integrity of the vape juice, minimizing loss of flavour.  When you want to take the vape juice out of storage, remember to allow it to cool to room temperature before using it.
