I have a vape pen now that I haven't used, which is still sealed and has been that way for approximately two years.

Will the product have degraded in any way since that time and is it still safe to use it now - as safe as it would be when new?

I cannot see an expiry date on the packet it is sealed in. :skull:

I would anticipate that it's safe.

If it's THC it might be less potent due to the THC breaking down into related but less active components.

It is just a regular old nicotine vape pen. 8)

I'm less familiar with nicotine but I'd anticipate it also becomes less potent with time.

If it was mine I'd go ahead and test it without a second thought.

Alright, then that is what I will do, also. Thank you for the encouragement!

You may have lost a few % of battery. Nicotine loss will be negligible. Possible corrosion of heater element may reduce lifespan. Glycol/oil may be slightly degraded. None of these things are particularly worrisome
