Where did you get it from? Did it go pink on it's own or after mixing with flavours?
Some fellow vapers and i did a group buy here at ecf but it came form bluemistvaping. And it went pink on its own
I've vaped pink nic before without any issues.
Heck, I've got one tobacco recipe that turns the whole thing pink as soon as it is mixed. (Then turns tan when it is fully diffused.)
If you just got the nic I doubt it has gone bad yet. Not like you are leaving open bottles in a baking car for the last few days, which would be another story.

Shoot bluemist an e-mail and see what they say. I would also ask the members from the group if they have had any color changes in theirs.
Good point about the email.
I was also in that group buy. Mine is a very light tan. (It is also in glass bottles in freezer and I also got the 100% PG. Will be wrapping it in bubble wrap and moving it to the deep freeze later this week.)

Responding to this thread as it pertains directly to my product and I've not heard from the poster yet...
*Pure* Nicotine starts as a very pale yellow- almost clear. With time, it will age into a darker and darker yellow, to even a bit orange. Keeping it in the dark, away from oxygen, and cool will slow this process.
Even at 100mg (10%) levels, nic will oxidize a bit, but the presence of other chemicals, like PG or VG, will change how quickly and sometimes even the color. In my personal experience, it generally slows it down from what I observe in pure nic.
I could name several other vendors who sell nic that turns pink (or yellow, or tan...), and even a couple who ship it that way. I'm sure they would agree, a much better indicator of the quality is the smell and taste, rather than the color.
In my opinion, both as a vendor and as a vaper, I'd say that liquid is just fine and would have no qualms using it. If you try it and decide it's not up to snuff, then talk to me and I'll try to help you.

Nic oxides will always form, and are strongly colored compounds. Even in trace amounts they will color a juice, and at room temp if the bottle has been opened, they cannot be avoided. The different colors come about because of the environment, which can make for a yellow to orange most often, or even a pink rose color. It does NOT mean the juice is "bad", since the oxides that form are not at all harmful, and they will color a juice even if 0.1% of the nic oxidizes. My unflavored VG nic juices will go yellow after a time at room temp. My vanilla DIY juices will often go rose colored after some time. They are still good juices.
I also agree that the nic is okay. There was a flurry of messages a while back with extremevaping's nic going 'pink'.
I have 100mg stuff that causes some mixes to change to pink. It does not affect the flavor or the strength.

It will do that. Keep it outta the sunlight in a cool place. It's still as good it ever was.
I was also in one of the Blue Mist co-ops, but I haven't opened it yet. The first one to be exact. From what I read on the Extreme site a long time ago when they had a problem that the nic was fine even though it was a pinkish color.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the feedback
I used it and everything seems fine..thanks again
