So yeah, this is a first. I can barely explain just what it looks like which is why I'm attaching a photo, but two sides of my OCC have become rather discolored. It's making me a little nervous but fortunately this head is about due for replacement. I have a couple of guesses as to what's causing it, but I'm not sure.
It's a little strange to me that it's only on two sides, and not at all on the sides of the head where the wicking holes are drilled out. The wick is a bit gunky and dark (again, almost time to replace) but I've checked the insulators and everything else I can check on the head and nothing else is obviously different than it should be. I also checked all of my other OCC heads both in and out of packaging and none look like this.
I've been using DIY Pineapple juice in the tank for a while and I know TFA Pineapple especially can be hard on rubber but this isn't rubber so IDK. Very weird.
Any thoughts on this frankly unsettling issue would be super appreciated.
