i was running out of liquid i got from this smoke shop but since i refuse to go back to him and i love this liquid, i ordered on-line. hot vapes was great and easy to order from and really fast. anyway, when i got the new bottle i noticed a huge difference. the bottle that was almost empty the liquid was getting yellow and thick. the new bottle the liquid was clear and easy to load. we're new to this and didnt notice a change. how long are liquids good for??

Welcome . A lot of juices darken with time , or exposed to any heat . I left a bottle in my truck for a few days , and it went from near clear , to near dark brown , all this in a matter of only a few days . Regardless , if you live in San Diego , there is a great place to go , on Camino Del Rio So. It's called Vapure , Liberty Flights is right next door to them . Look them up in the book , or online for an address . Went there a few months back and bought some juice from them . They will custom blend juices for you , at no extra charge . Very nice people to deal with . IMO

If your liquid got thicker than maybe the vendor uses a good amount of distilled water or edible alcohol to thin the juice. That is most common with juices that have high VG content. VG is very thick and some vendors thin them so they will work better in methods of vaping that work best with thinner juices. You could probably lessen the effect by opening the bottle once and putting 5ml in a smaller bottle then vaping from that. Then the big bottle would stay closed more. And don't leave the cap off your eliquid.

And nicotine can darker a juice over time as can some flavorings that darken.

I use thin juices like PG with 10 or 20% VG and they don't seem to get thicker.

Yes, some will darken over time (some have said due to the nicotine) with no change in taste. However, I've had some that went bad (meaning the taste changed, or just really weakened) in six months.

Most people, however, don't leave juice sitting around that long, unless it's something they didn't really like and set aside, anyway.
