I agree with Dave. If you have a non-adjustable battery, there is little you can do but get the higher resistance version of their heads. You can wait longer between draws and draw for shorter periods of time. If you do have a variable voltage device, this http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9dkanCt0I1qc8949o2_1280.png chart can help. If you have variable wattage (my choice in devices) I would recommend no more than 8 watts. Hope this helps, good luck and have fun!

Could be a couple things.

Some flavorings just do that. Mt. Baker makes a White Wine. Love it, but it starts out water clear and turns molasses brown by the end of the second tank. It still tastes the same but I won't buy it because the color change is .... ugly.

If not that, it will happen with any Kanger BCC as the wick and coil gets gunked up from use. Running a Kanger hotter than you need to will burn crud onto the coil even faster. Eventually that transfers to your liquid, darkening it. Take the vent tube off the coil assembly and see what's going on. If the top wicks have turned black with gunk it's time for a cleaning or a new coil.

How often do you clean your coils? Or change them? The gunk from dirty coils dissolves in your clean juice thus discoloring it. Also, if you vape at high wattages, you're more likely to burn the additives like sweeteners and colorings. Kanger recommends 5.5-7.5 watts.

Generally speaking, the dark and sweet juices will cause more crud buildup on the coils than the clean and clear ones; if that's what you vape, you'll have to clean your coils daily.

Ive had this happen on my protank as well. I figured it was from turning the volts up to high but after changing the atty out I dont think this is it. It only seems to happen with certain juices. The wicks also turn a muddy color to even if I change the juice it still discolors the next tank. Positive is it doesnt seem to effect the flavor.

Sugar starts out nice and white and turns brown as it caramelizes in a boiler. Ecig juice contacts the bottom of the tank where the coil is and the bottom juice mixes throughout the juice as you handle it. I notice a darkening in many juices I vape, but few turn really dark brown. Most turn some shade of amber.

I'd suspect sweeteners first.

I think the bottom coil runs a little hot. Variable watts will help some. The juice darkens as you vape down on a tank. Just dump the really dark stuff and refill instead of topping the tank off.

This exactly^^^^^^ If you leave the darker juice in there it may taint the flavor of what you are adding.... dial it down a few volts too and it may help prolong your juice.
