E-liquid changes color rapidly

[Nightshard]

I've made a few ml of just TFA french vanilla deluxe alone at 5% concentration.
Straight after it was made it was transparent, an hour later it was yellow, a day later it became bright orange.
All of that in a closed unused bottle without any steeping.

Didn't encounter anything like this with any of my other TFA flavors.
Is that normal?

 

[Cool-breeze]

Yep. Technically you did steep it a little. Being closed up and unused is the nutshell of steeping. I can't think of any liquid I've made that didn't turn a bit darker in the first day or so.

 

[glasseye]

Yes, it's normal and it may continue to change to brown or even dark brown. The vanillas and creams seem to do that.

 

[FACE MEAT]

The vanillin in the flavoring reacts with nicotine. One of the noticeable changes is color darkening. Another change you'll notice in about two weeks is the flavor will lose its sharp chemically edges.

Never seen something like that Happen to ANY e-liquid. Any way you could post some Before and After Pictures?

BTW - Just Me. But I Wouldn't use any e-liquid that I DIY-ed had had such a Dramatic Color Change.

 

[Not A One]

Vanillin likes to darken. This is not odd.

 

[DetraMental]

Vanilla and Custards do tend to change quickly. They actually get better as they age.

I can tell the Readiness/Yummyness of my tobacco blends by their color.... very few of my recipes stay clear or retain the color they had the day of mixing...

Anyways.....

I don't DIY anything vanilla but bought a juice that's mainly vanilla for nearly two years. It was my ADV. I was a noob and didn't know I should be rotating juices or risk loosing my ability to taste one I was hitting all the time. So that ADV juice has had plenty of time to sit. It goes through the color changes you mention. Out of the mail its clear, in a few days turning slightly yellow and by the next week its a pretty pale peachy color. I bought a big supply just before loosing my ability to taste it so its been sitting for around 8 months and all of it is bright orange now but still just as clear as the day I got it. I can now taste the vanilla that I actually didn't know was the main ingredient in it before my buds went through their big changes. Its funny to me coming across this now because I tried and tried to clone that juice early on not realizing vanilla was the main ingredient. When trying to clone I kept looking for the color to be right and it, of course, never happened with no vanilla in the clone attempt. Wish I still liked it now that I know.

I'm not being a jerk I swear, but is this sarcasm or are you serious? Any and all blends with vanillas of any kind have dramatic color changes the first day or two, and even darker weeks after. Typically, the darker it is, the better it is. Check out Nicoticket's forum. There are tons of pictures of aged CLS and CB and everyones raves about the darker ones.

I Dunno... A Little color change is one thing. And slightly Darker I can see. Have Seen.

But Transparent to Bright Orange?

That is why I asked the Op if He/She could Post some Pictures.

Don't have an after and before images since i didn't expect it to happen in advance.
Since then iv'e diluted it in half and it's still as bright orange as it could possibly be

I guess it is Just Me.

But I would be Kinda Freaked Out if I had an e-Liquid that went from Transparent to Bright Orange.

I have Used/Use TFA French Vanilla and Regular Vanilla from other Vendors. I have Never seen Bright Orange. A little Darker Tint. Sure. But Bright Orange?

In fact, I have Never Seen Any Flavor go from Transparent to Bright Orange.

LOL

Vanillin will change the color of a juice from clear to brilliant salmon-pink...over time, depending upon the strength. Vanillin is a component of many 'creams' & vanilla flavorings.

I order from nickoticket pretty regularly and most of the time, their flavors aren't good right out of the mailbox.I always shake them and throw them in a drawer, but I do get them out and shake them every couple of days and observe the color. I look forward to seeing the color change to the " darker/orangish" color. The more the color changes the closer it is to being AMAZING! Just my experience
