Effect of light on e-liquid?

[STILLSMOK9]

A good friend of mine is a US supplier. He said that he received recently some 10 ml bottles of juice that happened to be in white bottles vs. his normally clear bottles. He has noticed that the juice in the white bottles albeit the same juice from the same company(same flavors) are tasting better than the juices in the clear bottles.

Does this mean that light may have a major impact on the juice we vape or is this chance?

It has always been said keep your juice in a cool dark place. Figures a white bottle would be darker than a clear bottle

Wonder why companies do not all use white bottles then?

Cost?

Cost at us plastics is the same. Main reason I figure IMHO. Have you ever had e-liquid in a white bottle?? Its a pain to know how much you have left.

Hey, I know what NFG means;-)

With this all being said it would make sense for the manufacturers to ship in white bottles. Then the supplier/distributors can convert to clear bottles.

This will maximize the quality of the juice, right?

I'm guessing it only affects nic strength......flavorings should be fine

I wonder why my juice from johnsons creek has no taste to it anymore. Their bottles are dark brown like beer and I have not let it into direct sun light. Does air ruin juice also.

air heat sun. nicotene is a VERY unstable compound and breaks down quickly

I have recently discovered this the hard way. I started putting my juice in clear, glass bottles thinking it was just better than that cheap plastic. The juice started losing flavor and changing colors about half thru the bottle. Now I put a small amount of juice in a smaller bottle and use it in a few days to stop this from happening. Air affects juice in a big way.

thats what I thought. I have been trying real hard to keep it protected. I guess I'm going to have to try harder in the future.

So define "cool" in reference to storing. I don't intend on storing them inside my kiln or anything, but would it be beneficial to keep them in the refrigerator? Say for those of us like myself that have purchased a shoe box full of 30ml bottles?

I usually carry a few small bottles with me to avoid anything catastrophic like being trampled by a stampeding bull. I'm not so worried about the effects of nicotine on an already unstable bull, but about the wonderfully flavored wet spot on my pants that will make me look like I wet myself. Then people will think I was freightened of the bull, and there goes my manly personna... ok this is off track now.

I have recently erradicated my refrigerator off all bulls unstable or not... It was hell on the eggs.
