Good evening ECF!
So, first off: no names.
I've been vaping like a boss since July of 2012, and by no means or measure would I ever claim to know everything. I'm in a constant state of learning about vaping and all that goes in to it, which is how I approach life in general. Learn and ask questions, learn some more, share what you know, learn more, and so on.
One of the things I've picked up is that some juices will turn colors. There are a lot of factors, from storage to wicking material to even, dare I say it, poor choice of ingredients? This is why I'm here to ask for input, because I am not pointing any fingers or jumping to conclusions. I just would like to know how the following situation came to pass:
I have a pair of Twists, my friends have both Twists and a standard eGo. Between the three of us, we have Vivi Novas, CE5's, and a few knockoff clearomizers that they use I myself don't employ. We purchased the same two flavors at the same time, and over the course of less than two days afterward these two flavors turn jet black in our respective tanks and clearos.
Now, I can't say for sure that the flavor was unaffected. I didn't detect any change, but one friend said it tasted more muted. This color change was unlike anything I've seen before: the juice was jet black. The wicks were your standard silica I imagine, but one of my Vivi Nova's had my "custom" bamboo crochet yarn wick.
I brought this to the attention of the place the liquids originated from, and was assured this was normal. Again, I have seen some liquids change to a darker color, but never as drastic as this. I haven't purchased any more liquid from this place, and have not seen any of my other liquids from different places even come close to duplicating this event.
I will save the rest of the story for the relevant forum it belongs in, but how acceptable is color changing in ejuice? Is black an acceptable hue for ejuice to turn in such a short amount of time?
More importantly: what would cause this? Three different people with three different setups, with the same result-is it safe to infer that the juice had the issue and not, as we were told, us?
Thanks in advance for any input. I'd like to hear any similar stories, if you could share!
