Hello guys, i have another question hopefully i dont come across as annoying when i make new threads lol

I have a stardust clearo lying around with e juice still inside it, but when i look at the juice inside it comes across as
VERY DARK, like 3-4 times darker then when it was when i first put it in there

Ive been using another PV lately so i put this one aside for awhile because the PV I'm using isn't compatible with a 510 connection and left it in my carrying case for about a month or so,

I vaped a bit of it today and it taste OKAY, but here is my question :)

does ejuice go bad and become toxic if i leave them in clearos for a large amount of time?
Is it safe to vape it?

Thank you guys in advance for the comments and help

-Jonathan

It's common for a juice to darken in a carto. The shelf life of juice is about a year if it's out of the sunlight and not in an open container. It's safe for at least 2 years, but it would not taste as good. It doesn't break down to anything toxic, so there should be no health worries. If it's only been sitting a couple months, you have nothing to worry about.

Dark like this? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/272731-hot-summer-juice.html

Heat, sunlight, and age can ruin a good juice.


I found it loses flavor and nicotine strength. It is such a small amount of ejuice, I'd clean them out and start fresh unless you are almost out or something. I think it would take a long time for PG/VG to get moldy. I left a small cup of juice on my desk for a few weeks open and it didn't evaporate or mold, the stuff seems pretty resistant to becoming toxic.

Most topcoil cartons will do this, the reason being that no ejuice is a true solution, it is part suspension, and some of the particles do not get vaporized, instead they remain in the carto, building up and turning the juice a darker color. There's nothing dangerous about it, but it doesn't taste as good As fresh juice in a clean carto

Oh yeah, I forgot to adress the toxic part! Thanks, Sailorman!!
