Color of your juice

[trickxiii]

Hey all, I've been DIY'ing for a couple months now and noticed that the color of my juices is almost always translucent (except when adding colored flavors). I still order juices from suppliers to use as a point of reference and to see what's popular and why so I can apply it to my own juices. My question arises in the fact that the majority of juice created by suppliers typically has a much darker color and when let to steep the color darkens much heavier than my own juices. (mine typically not getting much darker than a slightly yellow tint). Is there something that you guys (and I mean the general DIY public) are using in your juices beyond PG/VG, Nic Mix, lemon juice and typical flavorings from Wizard Labs, TPA, etc.?

My juices all taste great (through much trial and error) and I have no problem per say, i'm really just curious about the distinct difference in coloring.

Thanks in advance.

both honey and bavarian cream will darken a juice with 5-7 days of steeping....surely there are others but both of those can be used as additional or primary sweetners and to help give the juice body

Color varies and is not a real indicator of anything.

Vanillas will darken your juice. Graham Cracker and coffie extracts can really darken a juice. Old Nic will darken a juice. Steeping will darken a juice.

When you DIY your ingradients are (usually) pretty fresh, so in GENERAL DIY will have lighter juice. Your nic supplier will want you to have as clear and clean a nic as possible.

When you buy from a vendor who knows how long that nic was sitting on a shelf before it was mixed. Mix date might have been a week ago, but the nic mix may have been sitting on the vendors shelf for who knows how long.

Thanks for the input! It definitely makes sense that fresher ingredients will give the lighter color.
