Unopened bottle lifespan: ~12-18 months typical from manufacture; best before date on packaging; stock before UK Vape Tax 2026 advisable. Multi-buy stocking strategy: ~3-6 months supply reasonable; don't over-stock (~12-18 months expiry unopened). Stocking by usage rate: heavy user (~5ml/day) ~15 bottles monthly stock 1-3 months supply (15-45 bottles); average user (~2-3ml/day) ~6-10 bottles monthly stock 2-3 months supply (12-30 bottles); light user (~1-1.5ml/day) ~4-5 bottles monthly stock 3-6 months supply (12-30 bottles).
