PG Vs. VG color

[b_atman]

is there a diff in color between PG and VG?
just got some of my regular juice in and i changed the ratio from 50/50 to 60/40 and it is noticeably darker
is that because of the ratio?
i know as it seeps it gets darker, but its from a local store and was made within 24hrs.

My juice will continue to darken for up to several weeks, so no it's no unusual at all, particularly if it's only 24 hours old. In fact, darkening means the flavor bonds are working and I look forward to it. Of course, not all juice darkens noticeably, but my cinnamon Danish sure does. Welcome to the Forum and good luck!

well my usual juice at 50/50 mix that is almost 3 weeks older is still lighter. so is pg darker or was it mixed wrong.

Probably a slightly different mix or their nicotine base is a little darker for the 60/40, 50/50 probably sell faster and their 60/40 has aged a little more. It shouldn't affect the flavor at all. PG & VG are both clear.

PG and VG are both perfectly clear. Even high quality nicotine will be nearly clear. So what you're seeing is either oxidization (exposed to air) or exposure to heat or light......or it's just the flavorings

It is possible that they use a dye in their mix. If they are mixing in small batches there could be variances in the color just due to the minute measurements involved. I use dyes in baking that one little drop will dye three cake layers bright red. If you were mixing a batch of juice and using comparable dyes then the amounts would be infinitesimally small. A very minor variance would provide color differences. Just my 2 cents though. If the flavor is good I wouldn't worry about it.

I work at a store with a pretty big lab. PG and VG are supposed to be clear initially. In my experience when the juice steeps its the nicotine that causes it to change color. I have some bottles with no nicotine that have barely changed color. I also have bottles with nicotine that have completely changed color.

It could be a change in the color of the flavoring used ... this happens often on the side of the flavor manufacturer. I have been DIY my own juice for two years and cinnamon danish is a flavoring that I have always used, and as @Bill's Magic Vapor said, it usually gets very dark as it ages ... well my most recent batch of cinn danish flavor that I ordered is not changing at all (1 month later), that is probably because the manufacturer changed something in the formulation of the flavor.

So I am sure this is the reason behind the difference in color of your juice, which is quite normal in the e liquid mixing world.

My 2009 PG, VG and nic/PG is still crystal clear.
I had another brand of nic/PG that had a slight tint; but it worked just fine.
