Juice turning dark.

[guambred]

I am running a 6mg luquillo breeze juice from The Vial in a PT2 with a twist type battery. when I filled my tank the juice was clear, vape was strong flavor was great. I then noticed about 3/4 through my first tank the juice was turning yellowish, vape and flavor remained the same. After refilling the tank, the juice had turned somewhat brown by half tank. dumped remaining juice in the tank, rinsed, dried and refilled. same thing happened. this time I let it go until 3/4 after second refil and the juice was dark caramel color. again no noticable flavor or vape change. This time I dumped remaining Juice, rinsed, dried, and changed the atomiser, turned down the volume to somewhere between the 3.2 to 4.0 marking on the batt. Same thing........ any ideas on why this happens?

The nicotine in the juice is oxidizing, causing it to get darker. This is the same as steeping, the flavor tends to get stronger the darker it gets.

Don't dump the juice, just enjoy! I have a hazelnut mix that will do that and I love it!

I have juices that arrive in the mail clear and a week later turn dark brown in the bottle. This is normal. Nothing wrong with your juice.

It's a good sign. I have a lot of e-liquids that I don't touch until they start to get darker and a few of the liquids I won't vape much until they get quite a bit darker than they started out. E-liquid flavors almost always get better the older and darker they get. It's not only completely normal, it's desirable.

You should do a quick search on YouTube on how to steep e-liquid.

This could also be a sign that your wick is getting burnt. I use the Protank3, and before I switched to using cottonball for wick, the same thing would happen to my juices. If you are using a thicker juice, it may not be wicking fast enough.

^+1. There have been times for me where it's just because the juice has steeped, but there have also been times where the liquid actually smells and tastes burnt. A soak in warm water and a nice dry burn will fix it up if the wick hasn't been completely destroyed

Thanks for the feedback, as I mentioned there was no noticible change in the flavor, nor vape output, good to know this seems to be a normal thing and I can stop wasteing my juice. I dont seem to have the issue on any of my other tanks (cheap $6 clearos) or juices. Bought two new bottles of juice the other day without testing first............big mistake, they seemed too harsh and overwhelming for my lungs and pallate. Bought two new flavors from Suicide Bunny today and am loving them, made sure to test them first this time. Also test drove a drip system the owner of the shop uses, the differance in vape and flavor blew me away, not ready to switch over anytime right soon but glad for the experience.
