eJuice turning darker after refilling tank.

[Shootist]

Hi all I have a question about eliquid.

I've been vaping for about 1.5 months and started with Blu, BAD, then Halo G6, Good, then recently, 2 days ago, got a eGo system with Aspire BDC tanks that have plastic vessels instead of glass as I see most of the same type come with.

With the Halo system I switched from their cartomizers to the mini tanks and noticed the same thing with those that I'm getting on the Aspire tanks.

I got the eGo system Monday night and jumped right in using it. Filled the clearo most of the way to the top and started vaping.
On Tuesday morning I refilled that same clearo with some more juice and everything was fine.

During the day, at work, I refilled once again and after that I notice the juice start to get darker over time and as the day war on it got darker and darker and then didn't vape very well, low vapor and less flavor.

When I got home I switched tanks and filled that new tank only half way, approximately, and everything came back. Large amounts of vapor and good taste.

I noticed this same thing with the mini tanks I am using on the Halo G6 batteries. After a period of time and a few topping off of the tanks the ejuice starts to get very dark and diminishes the vapor output and flavor.

Is this a problem with the plastic vessels, the juice is getting burnt, there is a incompatibility with the juice I'm using and the plastic vessels, What What What.

I am mixing a few different liquids. Halo Tribeca, Local shop Straight Tobacco, LS Green Apple, LS Strawberry and some LS Artic Menthol.

Juice starts out a golden amber and then turns dark, and thicker, to something around a dark walnut color.

I used to get this. Now I do not fill a tank more than the initial time and then one more without cleaning and changing wick. I rinse out the wick and let it air dry and put another in. I do this every other tank and re-use the wicks I washed and I get long life out of my wicks. I do not know what this 'LS' is but when a juice does not burn clean it leaves a lot of residue

LS = Local Shop.

Thanks for the reply.

Local Shop-OK. Try a high quality juice, like AHL or Plume Room, try changing your wick every other tank. If you buy a few and rinse in hot water after every 2-3 tanks you will get long life. I have a place in my kitchen window where I air dry a few at a time.

Yep - darkening juice when refilling is a sign that the coil needs cleaning/changing. I use lots of clearos with different juices in them, and can't keep track of how many times I've refilled a particular one to know when it needs cleaning. So I use this as my clue. It's nothing to worry about.
