I had that happen with a bottle of non JC juice once... I think it was from being in my purse for like a week straight (was in a JC bottle though) ... I vaped like 1 cart worth then threw it out.. my paranoia was going insane.... though I have to admit i didn't have any negitive side effects from it... I personally wouldn't vape it if I had another option.. but if it was all I had.. I'd probably risk it.

I personally think that air is an enemy to flavored ejuice. From experience. I just finished a bottle of TW's menthol and the very bottom of it had started to turn green. I used it anywya and it was fine. However I had transferred a small amount to a 4ml glass bottle and it not only turned green, it changed consistency and was rather gross so I threw that out. I've only started vaping since March so I was a little concerned about all the juice I've stockpiled. I'm more careful now about how I handle it. I'm just putting a few days worth in a small bottle and trying that way. I had heard shelf life on juice was 18 months. But now I'm starting to wonder.

Does happen, was repetedly discussed (for instance in [thread=5007]January[/thread], [thread=6909]February[/thread] and [thread=17309]May[/thread]), but it still appears as if no one has been able to pin down the ultimate reason for the color change, besides some general remarks in the line of possible oxididation or influence of sunlight and temperature. If your juice is still clear, anything living in it is highly unlikely. Though green is not necesarily problematic, JC will replace. Keep us posted if you get a verdict upon the causes for color change.

"this milk smells horrible. Wonder if it's still good"

"My wife isn't home and the bank account was emptied. I wonder if she's coming back."

"There's a hole in my hood and a piston lying in the middle of the road. I wonder if my car is safe to drive."

Not trying to be mean, it just struck me a certain way. There is NO WAY I'd smoke something that changed color.

yeah, so I opened my bottle of JC menthol juice just after a returned flight from Hawaii and its a bright green color.

I've seen speculation that the green juice is caused by a reaction with the rubber dropper. I don't know if that's true, but here are three different juices turning green, and all stored in rubber dropper style bottles.

Crazy huh?

Anyhow, Ive been vaping it still and it has no difference in flavor or vape..im just hoping its not algae or something harmfull.:(

thoughts?

According to studies done on pg not much lives in pg, that is why it is in almost everything me eat, smear on us, and in med inhalers.
 
I had a bottle of Nuvape Cola that also turned green only this green was dark... like seaweed!

Its was also in a glass bottle with a rubber stopper. I think we may be onto something with the rubber stopper idea.

The only bottle that I had change that was NOT in a bottle with a rubber stopper. Was a bottle of home made menthol that I made. It was in a plastic dropper bottle, but after a few weeks, it turned RED.

Safe travels!
