Diy e juice

[Shone]

Would be really hard to test it here, and probably would be really expensive.
I belive something went wrong with nicotine.
there is around 200ml of liquid, and its not a problem to throw it away, but it could happen to someone else, who mixing for the first time, and he/she wont even notice. Thats why i want to find out is it safe to vape it.
One more thing, i have left around 20-30ml of that base i made, i made it that day, base isnt dark or redish.

Well, my hope is that it's your bottles. Because if it's something lurking in your home, not so great. Also, not great if it's your base, or flavorings, but here's hoping NOT. I hope a few of your bottles got contaminated, and I'm glad you aren't vaping it. I was thinking to bring it to the vape shop not for testing, but if it's one that does their own mixing, they might be able to identify it.

It's ghastly looking, maybe Halloween is visiting you early? In any case, I can't imagine someone getting to the DIY point and actually vaping that, I've never seen e-liquid that color before.... probably because it would be an instant turn off....

Hmm.... We definitely need a chemist.

Not to mention.... legible p_osts.

In my country, vape stores import juices, but i called few friends that make their own mixes, but they didnt help. no one experienced anything like this before.
Post 7 Juice turning red, only thing i could found about red color.

Well, I'm assuming you keep your nic frozen? Do you think the portion you had out to use could've been right on the edge? IDK, I remain confused but it seems that nicotine breakdown seems the likeliest possibility at this point. I suppose it's possible that cold stored nic could go bad inside plastic bottles at room temp but still look okay prior to mixing, and maybe it's a time sensitive process.

IDK. I'd make maybe a few small testers with the same nic you have now (and flavors) and see if it happens again, but maybe use some different bottles? I really dislike clear plastic bottles for that reason (in a few short months, some of my commercial juices that I don't use have darkened several shades) I like dark brown glass bottles even though they can be a total pain when it comes to filling some tanks, but they are so much less likely to oxidize....

I keep my nicotine in basement, its cold there, not much, but colder then room temperature, till now everything always was good.
i have left only 20-30ml of base with that nicotine, i could try in different bottle, and we will see what happens, for now base looks good.
And as i mentioned before, i tested that redish juice, and flavor is good.

Shone for the future, nic should be stored minus 10 in cobalt or amber glass bottles .

Try just mixing nic with your pg/vg mix only and see what happens.
If it looks normal after a period of time add your flavoring if it turns unusual color its your flavoring that is the problem.

It is well spoken that storing liquids in plastic for long periods of time is a no no as plastic leeches chemicals into the liquid.

basically, when i buy nicotine, i make base right away, usually, i keep 10-20ml of nicotine just for every case in my basement.
I have base left, posted here, , and it looks completly normal, around 20-30ml.
For flavors, i used 3 different, i dont think that all of them are bad in same time.
I completely agree for glass bottles, but i have a lot of e liquid, so some of them gtg in plastic.

Well this will sound even stranger but the only thing I can think of that would create enough pressure to crack the cap would be some type of yeast. (as in fermenting). Would also explain the color change to a degree. Just a theory. What does it smell like?

Shone you said One more thing, i have left around 20-30ml of that base i made, i made it that day, base isnt dark or redish.
I suspect Shone if base looks normal before adding flavoring then it tells me something is up with the flavoring.

In mean time i would try new flavoring from another vendor add it to base and see what happens .

 

[GaryInTexas]

Could the flavorings have been made with alcohol and the alcohol warmed and expanded?

 

[Shone]

No alcohol. well i will test that base again with same and different flavor, in same and different bottles.
In two days im expecting new nicotin, so i will mix it with same flavors, and we will see what will happen.
@dc99 it smells and tastes just like it should, but im worried cuz of color and pressure.
