Brown liquid in drip tip

[NONAMES]

Hi

I not 100% sure if this is the cause of condensation or not, but i think so

so for a while now, I got 510 drip tip but its like 810 drip tip, the mouth piece is as wide as the 810 (goon style)

I have been seeing brown liquid get build up in the drip tip and I was wondering if the same is happening in my lungs when vaping and I wonder if this is safe or not

the liquid Im using is white with a hint of yellowness barely noticeable

this happens with any coil and liquid I use, either its prebuild coils like in the pic or coils I build

here are some picture

Guessing its caramelized sugar from sweetner. Does the cotton in your coils turn brown too? It's not tar so no worries there. If you want to see the difference blow 1 puff of a cig through paper towel (turns brown) and 100 of a ecig (turns wet and soggy).

ya, the liquids I use are fruity so they do contain sugar

and yes the cotton turns brown, is that because of the sugar too ?

is it safe ?

Welcome to ECF, @NONAMES. Glad to have you here on the forum with us.

I agree with @Gramdogg, I've had the same discoloured liquid myself in the past.

I've been vaping quite a few years and its never done any harm to me, lol

Yes, it caramelizes on the coils.

is it safe ?

I've never heard of anyone getting ill from it, so I'd think so.

thank you, Im glad of joining the community here

its been 3 months since I started vaping, it helped me on quitting cigarettes and I feel way better and tasting better

thank you @Gramdogg @opticruby for your help, I'm kinda of newbie here, I get worried about little things

 

[Gramdogg]

Nothing is really "safe" but hopefully less harmful then cigs.

Your welcome.

Cautiousness is a good thing, you did right to ask.

If there is anything else you want to ask about we're always here to help.

of course

one more question, dose that caramelized sugar dose anything to my lungs ?

I see it get build up around the drip tip, will this happen by any chance in the lungs

The lungs are like any other organ they will absorb it into the blood stream. Its in no way good for your lungs but can't say if its more harmful then sugarless either.

Forget studies and science, what does your body tell you compared to cigs? Studies show that studies are often wrong and that there are to many studies lol.

Im just being ultra cautious

Don't look up stuff that studies say cause cancer or you'll never eat or drink anything again and die of starving to death.

Welcome to ECF! This happens to me all the time as I vape very sweet e-juice. I also get the same brown liquid leaking out the airflow holes, which I clear by wrapping a paper towel around the holes and blowing through the drip tip. This is totally normal[emoji4]

Thank you

that's very comforting to hear, now I'll vape without worrying about it

 

[Gramdogg]

Ever tried another drip tip on it? I hear normal 510 or MTL drip tips make the flavour better on them.

I didn't notice much of a difference tbh, I just like a bit wider mouth piece like 810 drip tip

I haven't really tried MTL drip tip, but I think I'm gonna have to try one in the near future

Thats normal, just some doo doo butter collecting in the drip tiip. A little butter never hurt my lungs, just greases up the aveoli like surfactant so they can puff up better. I too vape the fruits.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Vaping is far safer than smoking, and that's a fact.

I don't get brown juice anywhere but in my tank (and my cotton turns grey-ish faint brown when it decides the tank is right) but what I've noticed more than anything is the taste. I can now tell when a coil is kaput, based solely on that, which is awseome (never happened while dual vaping, btw) my juice darkens over time in the tank if I leave it there too long... My juice has darkened slightly while being vaped on nose-to-lung (I have discovered that, ah, hefty drags are not so good, so I am taking little ones ) and I can see the juice is a tiny bit darker and since I'm expecting my coil to dump shortly I am just going to let the tank empty, then switch to an 0.7 coil to make vaping easier.

Is it safer? I think so. But I have some mouldering ash-cans in the backyard that were pretty much water, cigarette butts, and heat. There's tar just OOZING out of some of them, and I'd be alarmed if my ejuice looked like that. Though, in a fit of quitting desire, I did ask husband "Hey can I eat that?" but I was mostly kidding. Mostly. A little discoloration in your ejuice can be totally normal depending on watts and whatnot, it's not a big deal. But, there are NO dumb questions, I am living proof of that on ECF Best of luck and keep on asking. I am a worrywart too, but not about e-cigs really. Until I met this site, then I had plenty to worry about, most of it being, "Will I have what I need?" etc. Though a lot of those battery posts opened my eyes, for sure.
