Johnson Creek Juice Turning Green!

[Prodigal1]

I just checked mine. the sample pack i have is about a month and a half old. all bottles are still fine on my end. i do however keep all the lids tightly closed. perhaps its the oxidation that was stated earlier.

Hang on to that return envelope and store the juice in a cool dark place (fridge maybe?)

Dang it...I threw the envelope away because everything looked fine! I haven't opened the packaging they were in though because I had some other stuff I was trying first. Planned on trying them later this week. Then I'll just wait and see what JC says to Cal. Thanks blue.

Still no response from them. They usually answer emails within a day. As soon as I get it, I will post.. I fortunately have the envelope from the order today..

dc2k08, nothing is proven yet. I've personally never had a problem with JC in over 3 months. I'm speculating about the Tobacco Absolute based on research I'm doing into the flavorings we are vaping. I have yet to actually see PG with TA turn green myself, but have seen TA described as ranging from deep brown to dark green in color. Could just be a harmless chemical reaction with CO or oxygen in the air, maybe something else unrelated.

Keep in mind that most times it's the healthy organic things that visibly "spoil" easily and the chemically processed ones that retain their appearance. Have you ever seen a McD burger 3 months old looking like a shrunken, dried but otherwise perfect looking burger? Try that with "real" ground beef and fresh bread and see what happens.

Not trying to defend anything or anyone. Just trying to point out that it might be a perfectly natural (but unpleasant) effect.

Translation:
OMG They're putting stuff in their juice that makes it turn green!!!!!!!!!! VS. OMG They're putting stuff in their juice that keeps it from turning green!!!!!!!!!

WOW! After reading this it got me to thinking. I opened my drawer where I keep all my liquids including the JC's Sample pack. The Wild Cherry has gone green. The others appear to be fine. As you can see I have only used a few drops of the Cherry. I got it the last week of November.

I am not saying this is because of JC's fault but I have had 2 atomizers go bad within a week. They were brand new atomizers that I literally just recieved in the mail. I have taken other (brand new) atomizers and labled one JC ONLY and NO JC along with new carts. I decided to start this test this morning when the 2nd atomizer failed.

Here is a pic of the JC liquid.

Alright. Now we have something here.. There is definitely a shelf life for the color at least.. Maybe it's oxidation.. No just to figure out if the turn to green is a signal to throw it away, or if it is just a color issue.. Still no word from Johnson Creek...

[dc2k08]

jaaxx, your points are perfectly valid and welcomed. it could well be a missing preservative that is causing the hulk syndrome. good to hear you are running tests on some of the ingredients, hope you post any results and describe the nature of them. (by the way, has anyone vaped any by accident and had to buy new shorts?)

I've got a sampler pack I've had for a while. Will have a look. Has anyone smoked any of the green ones?

EDIT no mine are all between virtually colourless and brown, apart from vanilla which is red. This is the 24mg PG pack which I've stored in the dark, at room temperature.

If one of them had been green I'd have tried it.. What harm can it do!!

[CalPilot89]

The Hulk Syndrome!! I LOVE IT! I have not smoked any hulk yet.. I was fortunate to get the new sampler pack today so I was not even thinking of trying one. I did have some Vanilla Ice Cream flavor left that I was using. It was still the correct color. It was only when I went to find the rest to see how much I had left that I noticed the grizzly transformation that had occurred..

Maybe Leaford can check in. I'm sure he has some old stuff laying around that he can check..
