That and oxidation...time does that too,got juices in bottles (never opened) that turned darker.
No biggie. (no biggie that has been proven and tested!)

It also depends on the ejuice. This is also a reaction to heat. I have some clear ejuices that I use in my ViVi Nova that remain clear, and some that will thicken and darken over time. Normally I can go about three tank fulls before it seems like I should clean it out.
I had that problem with clearomizers also. I was told it has to do with the wicking absorbing more of the pg or the vg (I forget which one), which made the juice thicker and burn more hot. after that it started tasting burnt. That was one of the reasons i switched away from them.
Usually the darker the juice the more flavor it has, due to it sitting and steeping
Darkening has nothing to do with PG or VG and everything to do with nicotine, sweetner and heat. Nicotine turns amberish or yellowish with exposure to light and/or heat. I have found that some commercial juices turn darker more quickly than DIY juice. The sweetner in some cases deposits "gunk" (burnt sugar) on the coil with higher volts. The juice washes over the coil each time you take a drag and what is not used goes back down into the juice which helps the darkening process.
I agree. I know pictures can be deceiving, and my juice darkens, but that looks very dark and a greater change than ive seen yet.
oh yeah,the bigger the tank in your genny,the more pronounced this phenom is,wont happen if you vape it all the same day (or not much);
On the other hand,with wick and wire,the liquid does get yellower and thicker as you go down the tank over say 4-5 days

It actually is that dark, this is every tank. The juice in the bottle has been steeped for about 2 weeks now, that is as dark as it gets, the juice in the tank has been in there less than 14hrs.
Not a big deal. It's normal, especially with top coil type devices, such as CE2s, Vivi Novas, Genesis, etc. It's just excess juice which has been heated by the coil and caramelized, leeching it's way back down into the tank.
That's when I change the head on my nova. On genesis atties over oxidizing the wick can cause the juice to change quicker than normal.
