Lower volts, less sweet juices, clean wicks thoroughly after 3 tankfulls....
Usually, darkening liquid is caused by the sweetener and/or the flavoring caramalizing. You could see if there is another flavor that you like that does not do that.
Not really much else I can think of.

Turning brown inside the bottle is part of the stepping process. Turning brown inside the tank is liquid either/or being heated by the atomizer or liquid being darkened by a dirty wick. I don't know your device but I suspect it is a wick issue.
As for the burnt taste that's a dirty coil in your atomizer. You should clean the wick and atomizer or replace it.

thanks...any links on cleaning nova wicks or should i just replace them...should i clean when changing flavors?
I had been cleaning my wicks but recently decided to replace them. The atomizers I soak in vodka and dry burn. I use an ego-c atomizer.
I clean once a week and I think that is more frequent than normal. It is not necessary to clean between flavors. If I used a strong flavor that lingers then I'll just twist into something that blends well like from cinnamon to cherry to chocolate to mint.
There is one thing I've noticed is that if you get your atomizer nice and clean but the wick remains dirty then I'll notice a foul taste for a while. That's why I decided to buy wicks separately.
The only color change I notice is when I leave the juice in the tank for a long period of time. I have not noticed a difference in taste though, so cleaning the heads sounds like the best option. Dirty or slightly burnt wicks would be my first guess.
I've noticed this happening too, especially in some clear cartos I bought awhile back. I like kena's theory on carmelizing from the heat. I have also had some 100% VG juice that started to turn brown right in the bottle! I asked the manufacturer about it and they said exposure to sunlight will also do it, but that it was still vapeable. I was afraid it was molding or something biohazard like. Yuk. 
Thanks for all the info guys...i will attempt to clean, then replace the heads...found a bunch of videos that help out...thanks for pointing me in the right direction...
