You've succeeded at steeping your liquid in a small batch LOL. Most liquids will darken with use, and many will darken while just sitting in the bottle. Flavor will change also, especially more complex mixes. Quite a few flavors will come to life with 1-3 weeks of steeping.
ok. well just to clarify, its getting darker much faster in my tank than in the bottle
Everytime i refil my tank theres like half of the liquid left in it and i see a color difference between the liquid left over and the one i poor in

It will do that, it's a reaction from the heat required to vaporize the liquid. Some juices are more effected by this then others. Nothing to worry about.
It is coming from your coil(s). Time to give it a bath or replace it if it's too gunked up to be saved.
I use Kanger T3S clearos and have found that if I don't clean/replace the heads and wash out the tank every few days the juice tends to darken between fillings.
I think it is caused by residue that builds up between cleanings that causes the darkening. It is true that most juices will darken as it ages, but I have found that it happens quicker in a tank that hasn't been cleaned often enough.
Good luck in your venture into vaping.

Heat and light will combine to slightly oxidize the nicotine and flavorings in your liquid. It's normal. The change in color isn't necessarily related to the change in flavor. The flavor changes are a natural result of an aging process the vaping community has mislabeled as "steeping."
It's not much different from the aging process that takes an undrinkable brew into a fine bitter ale.

yea I just changed my head and threw away the 1 ml or so left in the tank and rinsed it. The wick was a lil burned inside the coil so could be that
Prolly your coil is covered in old juice gunk and the fresh juice is being tainted/ darkened by this gunk- thus the color change and the taste. Time to either wash and/ or dry burn your head or if it's a carto change it.
Edit: Wicks are made of siliica- silica has a burn point of 1600 C...wasn't burned but stained by the juice gunk.
What type of clearos do you have?
Washing with hot water but the more stubborn darker juice stains use alcohol/ PGA. Washing cleans the tank, head etc. Dry burning cleans the juice gunk from the coil- turns it into ash.
It's normal. The heat from the atomizer is just speeding up the process. I have noticed this as well from time to time.
I also use the Vision Vivi Nova- with washing and dry burning my heads last 10+ weeks and still fire great but the wick begins to degrade/ shard at 10 weeks so I toss it. A VERY long but excellent and detailed vid on care and maintenance of the Vivi Nova.

When ordering extra heads for the Vivi you're going to have to know whether it's a ST Vivi or a Vision Vivi- heads are NOT interchangeable.

I don't know I think its a fake nova I got from a shop in montreal.
Its only written "NOVA" on it and the logo is like vVv something like that
But i requested that list anyways, can be useful
When the flavors and everything in the juice still haven't fully homogenized it is a much clearer color. As they mix better, usually after receiving a gentle heat/jostling for extended periods of time, they get darker and much better in flavor.
