I need some input from you guys... I ordered this cotton candy in Feb, It is 0 mg because I wanted to lower my nic. Anyway I used a bit of it with some 18 mg I had from the month before and put it away as I was doing ok with the 11 mg I also got at the same time. I pulled it out today and noticed it has a layer of sugar like substance on the bottom. The bottle I mixed it with did the same thing. This is what the mixed bottle looks like after I shook it, it is still on the bottom. I have never seen anything like this before... I searched and can not find anyone complaining about the juice separating like this. I shook the mixed bottle, but not the white one. I also didn't know that 0 meant no color either. I had some in my tank & now it is clogged.
What happened to this? Can anyone tell me why it will not mix?
Was something done differently in Feb?
Thank you

That particular batch of Cotton Candy had a lot of that "sediment." I thought it was weird at first, but upon trying it, I found that it worked and tasted fine, but it WILL separate after awhile, and in your case, became a nice sedimentary rock at the bottom of the bottle. The current batch is translucent pink, FYI. But the 0mg doesn't necessarily mean no color. After the liquid is mixed with the nicotine, heat, sunlight and lack of oxygen will make the juice "steep" and get darker. It should have little to no effect on usage, but that is why your 0mg was a lighter color. Heat it a little and shake it as best you can, or just ignore the sediment and just use the liquid on top.

Thank you for the update.. I also got 2 bottles of 11 mg and they are pink like they should be. I was just wondering if 0 mg was supposed to be clear as it was the first time I ordered it.
A bottle of 18 mg from January still has not done this, nor a 24 mg from 6-8 months ago. Now my April order has began to separate as well. What are you doing differently?

We're not doing anything differently necessarily. All our juices are hand-mixed to order, so there is usually small variations in color, but the flavor should always be the same. I don't know the details of that particular batch of cotton candy, but I'm guessing that, even though personally I didn't have a problem using the "sediment" cotton candy, some people were. So future batches most likely won't be like that.

I work at one of the retail stores, not the warehouse, so I can only tell you what I've noticed from the liquid I've been getting at the store. That being said, around November, Cotton Candy was translucent. The next few batches were cloudy with that sediment. The most recent batches have been translucent pink.

We don't add any color to the liquid, so whatever color it is, is what color it happened to be after the extract was added. Generally, adding nicotine will change a liquid's color, some more quickly than others. For example, Peach is almost clear by itself. After being mixed with the nicotine and shaken, it immediately turns a Mountain Dew yellow color, and it will continue to get darker the longer it sits.

It's not unheard of for liquid to separate if it remains untouched for extended periods of time. Just try to use it more quickly, or shake it periodically before any sediment gets a chance to solidify at the bottom. But I wouldn't worry about the variations in color as long as the flavor is consistent for you.

EDIT: I just checked the batch of Cotton Candy I have here in the store and it has a VERY small amount of sediment at the bottom. So I think no matter what, there will be some sediment. But I just filled a 30mL bottle and I can't see any sediment at all. So you may always have some sediment in there. Still, shake it periodically, and I'm going to let this bottle sit on the shelf, and I'll update you on what happens.

Thank you for the update. I will check on my bottle of zero today, as I have put it away for the time being. The 2 bottles I received at the same time are almost all gone, with only slight separation. I will also recheck my 18 mg bottle.
I just received a new order, and it's more "normal" looking.
Thank you Crow
