Juice sitting for a few months dark in color?? Only 6 MG

[debomizer]

I have some old juice and it is General Custard at 6 mg. The juice is brownish??? I have General custard in zero nicotine and its clear. I also have a nicotine only mix that is 6 mg and its clear. Why would the General Custard at 6mg be so dark?

juice will always darken over time if there is Nicotine in it. I think it has to do with the breakdown of flavors or nicotine over time but I'm not a chemist or anything so I do not know 100%. I Just know that even a clear juice will gain color and darken after enough time.

I've experienced that too, from what ive seen, whether it darkens or not is based on brand, nicotine level, and sometimes even the ingredients. It's nothing thatll mess stuff up, so dont be worried about that, but it can reduce the flavor if it sits too long. I'd use it up while you can.

Yeah this is normal, Ive had a dark blue color one turn to a nasty looking green color after it sat in a tank for about a week. Mine was 6mg also.

Somewhere on the forums you will find a thread of folks comparing how long they let their nicoticket juices steep. Some vendors recommend letting their juice steep for at least a couple of days before using. Over time the juice will develop different flavor profiles. The folks on that thread with several months on their custards who achieved very dark colors were the envy of everyone. The custards tend to do this more than others from what I've read. AFAIK the only downside to long-term steeping is that the nicotine is breaking down, hence it will lose strength over time. I tend to let mine sit for just a week or so - if I can manage to keep them that long.

Okay thanks! This was very helpful and I learned that the custards darken over time.
