I know that PG has a recommended shelf life of 24 months because it is hygroscopic, as a result it may oxidize if exposed to air/oxygen. But from what I have learned this will cause it to increase in water content, change color and produce an odor (the odor is what the attys have) an become more acidic.

These atty, unlike others I have purchased that came in a box and only had the condom and cap attached. Were sealed in a plastic package. With this plastic package, I would think less of a chance for air to come in contact with the primer to cause rapid oxidation.

I know that UV light also plays an effect on PG.
I just find it hard to believe that this company, with as much as they sell, have a stocked inventory that is more than two years old.

I have a gallon of PG that is stored in the pantry, I have had it for a little over a year now. It is USP grade, and I can't find a manufacturing date or an expiration date on it. It is still just as good as it was the day I bought it. I always use some of it in my mixes. Being stored in the pantry, it is not constantly being subjected to light, and maintains a temperature of about 76 degrees Fahrenheit year round.

I just soaked the two stinky attys in grain alcohol for about 8 hours, now I am letting them soak in some PG.

An interesting find I just had. I just opened up one of the extra 901 attys that came in a five pack from TW, and they have no odor. I popped one on without blowing out the primer and it tastes fine. I did go ahead and blow it out after I guinea pigged myself.
So it looks like it was only the two 901 attys that came with the Screwdriver that had the bad primer.

Now that I think of it, the 4081 attys I had that were like this, also came in starter kits, and were also from TW.


Anyway, on another note, I just ordered Lil Queen an SD. She doesn't like any of my other mods I have, as they to her are not lady like enough for public use. She plans on going completely stinky free at the end of the week, so I am hoping the little extra kick a big battery offers will help her to stay off the analogs for good.
I only ordered the base screwdriver, which is just the SD and an atty for $37.00. I have plenty of the 18350 batteries and attys for it already. I did get an extra 901 to 510 adaptor as she also is more partial to them. I even got her a 5 pack of the Titan platinum attys, just to jazz it up for her a bit with that cute little gold band. I am hoping the looks and feel of the SD will be something that she will like and use.
