Hey guys I have some clear liquid that turns a brown color if it sits to long in my tank. Could it be from the cartomizers turning the liquid that color or is it from the heat? If i need to post a picture of it I can. Does this happen to anyone else with clear liquids? Also does heat from being in my car have anything to do with it?:confused:

The change in color is natural and is due to oxidation (contact with oxygen) of the juice and nicotine. It's perfectly harmless.

Add to that the heat of the cartomizers and a touch of backwash of the juice over the coil(s). As long as it tastes fine, you're good to go!

From Wizard Labs:

"Nicotine oxidizes rapidly with exposure to heat, light, and air. As Nicotine oxidizes the color of the solution will turn yellow to amber brown in color. Higher strength Nicotine solutions will oxidize more rapidly than lower strength Nicotine solutions. This does not diminish the strength, potency, or safe handling requirements of the solution. "
