Well, essentially, once air hits distilled water, it's no longer distilled, but honestly, the contamination that would occur is minimal. It's probably 99 cents for another gallon, might as well get it fresh.

The reason for using distilled water is primarily to remove minerals that would otherwise deposit on your humidification device. Unless you put something in the water, it will remain effectively sanitary indefinitely. There's no food or minerals for microbes in the water. There's a tiny chance of algae growing, so keep it dark. Propylene Glycol is also anti-microbial, so I wouldn't worry about it. Then again, $1 is a small price to assuage your fears, so if it makes you feel better, buy fresh water whenever the urge strikes.

I would buy a new one just in case, the price is low enough.

I think I'll go ahead and just buy a new one every other month. Seems like a waste though to only use a small portion of the one gallon and then throw out the rest.
Thanks

If you are hesitating over the $$$ of distilled water, you have entered the wrong hobby my friend! We eventually burn the things we decide are the most precious

If he's scared about it being no good to humidify cigars, I'm guessing he probably doesn't want to drink it either.

I looked at a bottle of unopened distilled water I had that had been sitting around for a couple months and noticed a stamp near the lid. The bottle I have says "Use before Feb19 07."
Anyways, I don't think it will "expire" any time soon. If your bottle is only a year old I wouldn't worry about buying another one for at least a year
