TV atomic cinnacide reaction?

[Nunnster]

Don't know if this is DIY or eliquid so fill free to move. I had 10ml of TV atomic cinnacide. I vaped about 3ml of it. Thinking that its such a strong flavor, and that I would like it toned down some, I added 3ml of VG. Almost instantly once I shook it up after adding the VG my juice went from a brownish clear to brownish opaque. I have added VG to many other flavors and not seen this happen. I let it sit over night thinking that it just needs to settle. I came back to it just now and noticed what can be best decried as "oil" spots within it. I think that I am just a worry wort, but has anyone else seen this happen? I have never seen E juice turn opaque and now Im a bit worried. My limited chemistry experience has me thinking that something in the TV juice reacted with VG...

I have not heard about that reaction. Someone else may have. I have tried & really enjoyed cinamon juice. But I just don't feel comfortable putting it into my lungs, and so I restrain from using it. It is tasty though.

It’s not a "Reaction", It's a "Mixture”.

AC uses Oil Base Cinnamon Flavoring which doesn’t bind to VG well. Kinda like an Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing.

If you let AC sit for a day or so, you will see the Cinnamon oil floating on the top of the e-Liquid. That is why you should shake AC before filling your Cartos/Attys.

BTW – I would ALLWAYS store AC or VaporBomb’s Cinna-Bomb in a Glass Container.

Seems pretty normal to me.
Highest VG I've tried with that flavor is 70/30. It's pretty dark compared to an all PG mix.

Mine doesn't bead or look oily, but I did order it premixed at 70/30.

I too put AC in a glass bottle as soon as I possibly can. I also tend to avoid filler carts and cartos with it, and just drip it. I have found that the Kanger KR808-D1 horizontal coil cartos have a filler in them that seems to stand up to AC and always tastes great...but I'm still a bit weary of using them (not confident that the acid isn't strong enough to pick up bits of poly into the vape). The newest metal CE2 with no black shrink wrap in them (or the newest deluxe clearos) do OK with it as well.

Ok, I didn't know that oil based flavors didn't mix well with VG. I figured it would be relatively the same as PG. That would explain the "oil" that I saw. I dont think I am gona vape it now though.

Consider not tossing it out just yet.
Shake it good and let it steep...it might look better given some time.

Oh I toss nothing! I keep it in my armageddon stash.

Armagedon Stash... LOL

I'm not a huge fan of Oil Based e-Liquids. There are too many good Water/PG based flavors out there. But 25% AC and 75% Watermelon is a Fantastic Blend that I like to do every week or so.

I mix the two and it's fine. As stated just shake it up before using.
