Actually, yes. Mine also have a sort of tan look to the condoms. But they haven't tasted weird or anything. So you are not alone in this universe :) Never occurred to me that it was unusual or bad... just how it was.

oh my lord, this is like months of mystery i was trying to solve, i thought you guys also receive the same thing but somehow have different experience!! But how can i be so lucky?!? I ordered 25 packs, all in that color, they took them back and i thought that must be a bad batch, i ordered another 50 packs, all 50 exactly the same colors. Leaford also looked at the picture and said they are not supposed to be discolored like that. But i havent heard from them since, I just sent an email to customer service, i think i will have to ask for replacement. Thanks Frick for the clarification!!

I am thinking they may have used a different color plastic... have u opened any? Was the drip tip brownish too?

yes i have opened most of them, as far as i can tell the drip tip is not discolored. i also sometimes find some that are still in the condom and package and look moist. And when i take off the condom, i can see a bit of juice leaked.

Mine are uniformly tan. The clear one is from 555 and the shorter one is another brand. Pretty obvious which is the RY4.

Oh yeah i can definitely spot the RY4.

I dont know .... I am confused... so if yours have the tan color and yours taste fine, then maybe it is really time for me to move on to something else. I remember my first package of RY4, they were clear, and were very tasty, that taste is just not there anymore... sad... :(

That's a bummer :( But I really don't think the color of the condom has anything to do with the taste or performance of the cartos.
As for not liking the taste, people's taste buds change. What you hate one day you may love the next month. I've read several accounts like this, and have experienced it myself. Maybe just set them aside for now and revisit in a few weeks.

Starsong, I have had 10 RY4 cartos and none of them had condoms that look like that. In fact I've never seen that with any flavor. I wonder if the juice has changed? I have one unopened RY4 carto left, and the condoms are bluish-white like in the right side of CoughingBad's image.

As far as there being some moisture when you remove the condoms, I've had that. It's just juice. I don't mind that. But that brown look is not something I've seen.

I am not sure that the flavoring can actually discolor the cart condoms in this manner. I use my cart condoms to fill my cartos and the juice(I even use chocolate flavorings) gets on them. I clean the inside with a cotton swab and the condoms are never discolored.

Good point. I've had BWB Maple Tobacco in a carto condom, and it's nearly black, about the color of cola. It didn't stain the condom at all.

not yet, but i did notice the discolored ones are thinner compared to the normal ones

You think? They look the same to me. hmm
I tried to clean it (only because the question came up) using hot water, dish soap and a toothbrush. No change. If it was just 'dirty' that should have had some effect. Anything more would be like bleaching it.

I also popped a new cart out of the RY4 pack saw the tanned condom shrugged it off then when I vaped it tastes dry like a used cart and also noticed the moisture as if the liquid leaked out.

agree on all counts, the recent ones i received are dryer and harsher on the inhale (newly opened cartos), once i add new juice, the harshness goes away, along with the harshness....the RY4 flavor...

and about whether the tanned condoms are due to different manufacturers, i am not sure... I sent the same pic to customer service, Leaford has commented the condoms shouldnt be tanned. although i havent heard any update afterwards, I am hopeful that Leaford is investigating the issue.

well i just tried another RY4 from the same pack but the condom was normal colored and it lasted a lot longer than the one in the tanned condom

wait, you mean you actually see both clear and tanned color condoms in the same pack? thats bizarre!! do you have another pack like that maybe you can take a picture of?
