I wonder where all the color in the highly colored ejuice goes? if not in the vapor you exhale it all stays in your lungs?
Some may be in the vapor, but the coloring is so diluted by the volume of vapor produced you won't see it. I would imagine most is exhaled. Back in the ecig dinosaur days some daredevil type folk wanted to attempt to obtain colored vapor but it didn't work out real well ( no color, lots of lung irritation). Before I took my last sabbatical from ECF, the community was very anti-coloring - Lorann's grape was taboo, for instance, and pressure was brought to draw on flavoring companies to remove colors altogether. Not sure what happened on that.

I read in one of these posts that the Nicotine gives some ejuice a brown color---don't know if this is true or not---seems I have some .6

nicotine juice that appears to be clear...
Heat from vaping turns my juice in the tank a tan color. Sugars caramelizing I suspect. I just rinse the tank after about 12 ml (3 ml tank) and maybe rewick after about 8 tanks or thereabouts.
But coloring I avoid. Nic is clear for me, I have what I use in a 15ml clear glass bottle.

I believe that nicotine, as it oxidizes, can turn yellow-ish, even if the starting liquid is clear.

I just bought 4 Unicorn 30 mil plastic bottles and they have a pointed plastic tip

that is easy to remove and reinstall ----these seem to be handy.
I keep my ready to use 100mg in a little bottle with a top that has a rubber thingy in it that you can push a needle thru. I always measure my nic with a hypodermic.
The rest stays in amber 15 ml bottles in the freezer.

@ZDT223 I don't run anything much lower than a Kanger OCC 0.5 head. Most of my builds are single coil and about 0.8-1.4 on RDAs and about 1.6-1.8 on my Protank heads. Even on those lower-ohmmed heads, I don't care for power much about 23W. Stuff just starts tasting burnt to me. If you don't have good airflow and even better wicking capabilities, no matter how pretty/perfect the coil, it's not gonna vape well.
