How do you know if your e-juice has gone bad?

[Raven_Blackblade]

I keep a 15 ml bottle in my front pocket all day. Hardly a cool place. It always tastes just fine. However, I use 36 mg menthol and I had a Marlboro Light menthol two nights ago and I got a pretty good buzz. So obviously my nicotine content in the juice has gone way south. I shouldn't get a buzz from an analog when I am a regular 36mg vaper.

The Buzz is actually due to all of the other chemicals that are in cigarettes.


EDIT: So yeah... agreed with everyone else

I have a theory that the death of juice comes from too much exposure to air. My sis and I transferred our juice from the plastic bottles they came in to glass bottles with eye droppers. They seemed to start losing their flavor about half way down the bottle. Plus they started changing color. Clear juice became amber. I had a small amount of chocolate in a tiny glass dropper bottle that turned green and the smell of it changed, not for the good either. So we started putting just the amount we want to use in a few days in a bottle and leaving the rest of it closed up tight. Just my opinion. This happened rather quickly too. We've only been vaping since March.

Now that's interesting....non JC juice turning green in a JC bottle.... Maybe they need to check their glass supplier.

Yea I was thinking the same thing when you mentioned the JC juice haiving the same issue. I know the bottle couldn't have been contaminated with anything (like jc juice ) because I washed it, then boiled it to make sure there was no soap in it before using it.

Couldn't have been heat because my purse stays with me inside all the time (I have too many electronics in my purse to EVER leave it out in a car)

Doubt it could have been too much light as it's pretty dark inside the bottom of a purse lol... maybe too little light could be possible thought I wouldn't think so since you guys say you keep yours in dark places. (I just leave my larger bottles sitting on my desk at home and refill my smaller "purse" bottles from there)

Idahojo - sounds like a reasonable point.. but maybe it's just the glass since I would think that if the juice isn't leaking out then the bottle would be fairly air tight ..right?

I vote someone with extra juice and actually some free time should do an experiment! lol (that leaves me out, I'm low on juice and don't have the time to mess with it) Though I would be interested in seeing the results of such an experiment..

I'm shutting up now, making myself look stupid (NEEED... COFFEE!!)
