Dark juices too thick causing clogging

[K24A3]

I got my first bottle of choc banana and found that it is extremely thick, probably the thickest juice I've come across. This results in my carto clogging up within days, whereas other juices last months. Choco caramel peanut also has this problem.

I noticed that the color of those juices are very dark, so I'm guessing it is the brown coloring added that is causing the problem.

If so, can we please look into lightening up the coloring? I wouldn't mind if all juices were totally clear, especially since they seem to perform so much better.

Hmm, I've noticed this as well...being its my favorite flavor. Might be a good idea to clean your carts out more often after a few uses. I suppose I should do the same...I'm just lazy. >.> <.< >.>

Why do they add artificial coloring to an e-juice???????????? Not good for the lungs either.

Easiest way to clean a carto is take a paper clip unbend it and stick it in, twist it a few times, pull it in and out, look through the hole and see if it is clear. I prefer a clogged carto, epically on the passthru because it is way to airy. I have been using an adapter that has a lot less draw, and I got used to it.

Maybe it is just me. I have never had any look cleaning carts. If i boil them I find they taste musty

Instead of boiling, try soaking them in isopropyl alcohol. Swish them around a bit every few minutes. Soak anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, rinse with water, stand to dry. Usually gets any funky flavors out of mine.

I did okay washing them but they cost so little I noticed my need to be washed pile was getting quite large so I started tossing them. You might try thinning your juice a little with distilled water or vodka to name a couple.

Now, I will only use juices that are clear. Dark ones from any vendor will clog them, and I hate clogged cartos! And I too clean with iso alcohol and warm water.

Hi Chad, if you have some spare time, can you please raise this issue with the factory?

Same here. I feel like it's just the price I pay for a dark-colored vape...... change cartos more often.

I was told by another company that darker colored juices are the result of the type of flavorings. vanillia for example is dark in nature..it is also darker in e-juice (you would think it would be white!) That said I doubt anyone is adding colorings, I believe they are the result of the chemistry involved in the flavor making process.
But then how would I know..I just buy the stuff.

 

[K24A3]

I have doubts that it is the flavoring that makes juice dark because I have about 25 small bottles of concentrated flavor (including chocolate), they are all very clear, plus only one or two drops of flavor are added to each milliliter, so thinking logically, the coloring must be added.

If it is actually the flavoring itself causing the darkness (assuming the company who creates the flavoring don't add their own coloring), then perhaps V4L can reduce the VG ratio to thin out the juice.

If coloring is added to flavor extracts, then why is vanilla a dark caramel color when most things its used to flavor are typically white...frosting, ice cream, etc. I'm sure you've bought vanilla extract from the store at some point...in those old fashioned bottles...its all dark.

While I don't have a definitive answer, I am of the opinion that these are correct. Some juices are darker due to the flavoring added.
No food coloring is necessary to explain this. I have seen many ingredient lists and haven't seen a single food coloring listed. It wouldn't make any sense to add any, we aren't trying to make them pretty!

Not sure where this is coming from, but I sincerely doubt and have seen no evidence of any food coloring in our juices!

Its the flavoring.

 

[mmcall12]

Me, I really don't care if it is purple long as I get the flavor,,, to me that what count,,,

 

[DawnsFolly]

I have clear juices that darkens as it ages. That may be a property of PG, VG or both. If indeed there was coloring added WTH is that compared to the chemicals I inhaled for years?

Vanilla is dark because vanilla beans are dark! Vanilla being white is just what people are conditioned to.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I believe the NIC base itself is photosensitive and darkens with with exposure to light/air.

You are correct Wader sir. If you get two of the same flavors in different strengths, the darker will be higher nicotine.
