Picked up a new juice yesterday. It is billed as sweet orange and anise. Tastes good and comes in a brown glass bottle so I cannot see the juice in the bottle very well. When i pulled out the dripper to put it in my RDA I noticed the juice is cloudy and it appears the the orange flavor separates out a little and the is a small orange/yellow film on the top and if you shake it, it looks like little tiny orange droplets in the cloudy juice.

I guess the question is if this is normal for anise juices or juices with orange flavor in them? I obviously don't want to vape anything unsafe.

Sounds like citrus oil was used. I diy citrus oil. I use 3% distilled water to avoid separation.

Then it sounds as though at least you feel it is safe? Will the citrus oil make it cloudy as well as separate? Thought using oil base flavorings in juices was a no no.

Also, to clarify, the juice is cloudy in the glass dripper from the bottle. I know it will cloud a plastic tank.

Small amounts of citrus oils are fine. Vegetable oil flavor carriers are the bad ones.

The cloudiness is most likely from the anise mixture, if water was added to the mix, and or the orange combo. Anise will also cloud up when it starts to age or gets too cold from improper storage.
