CBD vape juice has skyrocketed in popularity around the globe in places like the UK. UK CBD has a reputation for being some of the best on the market and quite possibly the best in the world. All CBD products in the UK undergo rigorous testing to ensure they comply with regulatory authorities. In fact, they undergo more than just testing; they are subjected to multiple third-party independent lab tests. These tests look for impurities as well as cannabinoid profiles.
All CBD sold in the UK must only come from EU-approved hemp cultivars that contain 0.2% THC or less. According to The Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001, the legal limit per closed container is 1 mg of any controlled substance. This means that those multiple third-party tests help avoid unwanted situations of THC exceeding legal levels, protecting sellers, consumers, and retailers.
All kinds of people are using CBD for various reasons. Many people go out and give CBD a try simply because they know many other people using it. The next thing you know, they have added CBD as part of their daily regimen. More people are adding CBD to their daily lives as part of a smart lifestyle decision. Making smart lifestyle decisions will ultimately lead to a happier, healthier individual. We must be very cautious and particular about what we put into our bodies. Speaking of things we put into our bodies, have you ever wondered if your CBD e-liquid/vape oil has an expiration date?
Yes, CBD e-liquid does have an expiration date. In general, the expiration date for e-liquids is set for somewhere between 12-24 months from the day the product was manufactured. This isn't necessarily because the product expires or goes bad. It is more on the side of caution. CBD e-liquid is made using propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, also known as PG/VG. This blend helps to provide flavour, smoothness, and throaty hits that produce fluffy, satisfying clouds of vapour.
The PG and VG will begin to break down after a prolonged period of time. Once it meets its expiration date, PG and VG can begin to take on different characteristics, such as crystallising or becoming thick and syrupy. Other factors, such as storage, will ultimately play an important role in determining the life span of CBD e-liquid or a CBD vape pen. Before you purchase a CBD e-liquid or CBD vape product, it is a good idea to look for an expiration date. Keep in mind that the expiration date doesn't necessarily mean the product is bad, but it does mean it runs the risk of losing taste, potency, and overall quality.
Luckily for you, when you purchase CBD e-liquid, it's not going to have a chance to sit around for 12 months, let alone two years. Many people enjoy disposable single-use CBD vape pens. These devices come preloaded with CBD oil and are ready to use out of the package. They do not require any charging and can simply be discarded when the CBD e-liquid runs out. For many people, this is much more convenient than remembering to charge a device and worrying about upkeep maintenance like replacing coils and tanks.
From the moment you open your CBD e-liquid, you run the risk of slowly starting to degrade it. Also, from the time you open your CBD e-liquid, it will start to reduce the amount you have because you will be enjoying the CBD you inhale and the clouds of vapour you exhale. Remember, CBD e-liquid will have an expiration date on the packaging. Make sure that you are aware of this date before purchasing your e-liquid so that you get the freshest CBD vape juice possible. If you received a CBD e-liquid that is close to expiration, don't open it. Save your receipt and bring this to the attention of the retailer you purchased your CBD e-liquid from.
Once you open your CBD e-liquid, oxygen is introduced to it. When this happens, the slow process of degradation begins. Keeping your CBD e-liquid stored in the proper place is also extremely important in maintaining quality and consistency. Once you've opened your CBD e-liquid, you don't have to use it up straight away. With proper storage, it can last for several months. Most people do not have CBD products sitting around in their refrigerators or cabinets going bad, so this shouldn't be an issue for you.
Going off of the daily recommended dosage of 70 mg of CBD per day for healthy adults will help you figure out just how much CBD you need each week. If you max out your recommended daily CBD intake, you'll need 350 mg of CBD per week or an average of 1,400 mg of CBD per month. Obviously, if you buy ten containers of CBD, you might run the risk of hitting an expiration date on products before you are able to fully utilise them.
When it comes to maintaining the quality and integrity of your CBD e-liquid, there are things you can do to help. Always remember to close your container if you're using a refillable CBD e-liquid. When storing your CBD liquid, don't leave it in your automobile or sitting on a windowsill in the sunlight. CBD e-liquid, like CBD Gummies, is best stored in cool dark places away from direct sunlight.
You also don't want to store it near heating sources such as on top of the refrigerator, radiator, or other places that get warm. Medicine cabinets, storage drawers, and even the refrigerator can all be great places to store your CBD liquid. When you make sure to take proper care and store your CBD e-liquid in the right place, you will help preserve the longevity, overall integrity, and quality of your CBD e-liquid. We hope that this article helped you to answer the question, how long does CBD vape juice last?
