Are you getting a brunt taste? If not it is just juice oxidising from the heat of the coil.
Many things cause this. One being juice oxydizing and creating carbon on the coil, this leeches back into the tank darkening the liquid, its not bad, just carbon. Second is nicotine is aciding, as liquid ages it darkens, a clear 3mg nic juice will gradually yellow as the nicotine breaks other stuff in the liquid down and helps blend stuff together, higher nicotine levels this happens faster and gets darker. Third being the heat generated by the coil, this accelerates the effects of the nicotine acidity and darkens the liquid faster than just sitting at room temperature.
/edit
Also, shelf life on liquid kept at room temperature is about 6 to 12months, its when liquid starts looking like motor oil and smells rancid, then, you can pretty much say that liquid is no go.
Sounds like Oxydization.
Either from too much light getting at your juice or tge heat of your coil(s) one of the reasons i like the Kayfun Monster Mini, Goblin Mini, Silverplay Nano, etc because the wick tails can go all the way to the bottom of the tank so that oxidized juice gets used becore builfing uo as seen in the kayfun Lite, Taifun GT 2, and Orchids.
I have bottles of light yellow juice that gets darker even when kept in a dark cabinet. It's been my ADV for years and I've come to the conclusion that it's the result of steeping. Other juices are harder to gauge. Some that have turned dark as molasses vape just fine, while other that aren't so dark are awful.
Ryan, if it tastes ok, you should be fine to vape it. Some of us don't vape a juice until it does start changing color; the oxydization is a signal that the juice is well-steeped!
