Contaminated Juice Bottle

[djbishybish]

So, I generally fill up on Hummingbird Nectar before I leave for work. That stuff is crystal clear. And by the end of the day, maybe the next day, the juice has turned brownish/greyish, which I'm pretty sure is from old juice getting back into it or something like that.

Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to prevent it? Because I don't like having to toss 1mL+ of juice because it got nasty from old juice. I don't even fill up my 3mL bottles anymore because by the end they're nasty tasting.

When you refill sometimes have a spare bottle, fill and run very hot water through your hose first, you could even use some PGA and then some hot water, this will clean everything out very well and then your ready to put a fresh new bottle of liquid in.

I've never had a clear juice turn color like that though, most clear juices stay clear, and even ones that are going to get a bit darker from the Nic would take much longer than a day in my opinion, not sure what happen but I would bet some other juice that was a different color was in your line or hose and then went into your juice when you put that Hummingbird Nectar in your Reo.

I just did a good clean of the whole Reo and all my bottles.

Is it possible if I dripped another flavor a few times, then went back to what was in my Reo that it could've gotten down into the bottle or something?

If the Hummingbird Nectar juice has a lot of VG in it, maybe it is getting oxidized with the nic and heat.
Do your other juices also have this effect also or only the Hummingbird Nectar?

It's a 70/30 PG/VG, and that wouldn't really explain why it starts tasting bad.

I'm not sure, it's the only juice I've actually kept in here. (Recently quit DIY and on the search for good juices to vape.)

YES, Absolutely !

 

[djbishybish]

YES, Absolutely !

Okay, that's what I thought it might've been. Sticking to just this for now and I'm going to see if it stays good.

Thanks again REOnauts!

I agree with MWA.
I haven't had this problem myself. But I'm using Mini REOs and my 3ml juices don't sit in the bottles for much more than a day or two at max.

I'm a slow vaper, sometimes I wish I would go through more, but at the same time it's nice to have a 15mL bottle last me a while.

I've been using KBV Honeysuckle for more than 2 weeks now with my mini, 0nic and dripped other flavors on my 306 atty also but luckily, have not experienced this.

Are you blowing your atty clear while you are vaping?

When do I need to?

You shouldn't need to unless you oversquonk, but it's not uncommon for people to blow back into the atty if it gets flooded. I thought maybe you were doing that.

I'll watch out, I don't think I do that, but I may.

Happens to me if I over squonk too many times. Juice goes into the atty and gets vaped over and over, darkens, then settles into the catch cup and down into the bottle when you set your PV down for a while.

Also if I refill a bottle too many times without cleaning it, that last bit on the bottom recycled once too many will have an off color and doesn't vape well..

Ever notice if you flood your atty, the juice that settles in the catch cup is darker than what's in the bottle?

I never paid too much attention to the color, but when I used my Old Goat, brown liquid would sit in the cup of that thing...so I know what you're talking about.
