V2 Mint Tea E-Liquid Color

[Wonderweasel82]

Hello-

I bought a pack of pre-filled V2 mint tea cartomizers a while back, and really enjoyed the flavor. When it came time to order a new bottle of juice, I ditched my usual menthol and went with a bottle of V2's 1.2% mint tea flavor and a pack of blank cartomizers. When I received my package and opened the bottle of e-liquid, it was dark brown. I mean REALLY dark, to the point that the black writing on the bottle couldn't be read without holding it to a light. I checked the expiration date (6/15/2015), and before I opened it, I gave the bottle an inspection to make sure it wasn't leaking. Despite the nasty appearance, I decided to give it a try, and filled a fresh blank. The taste of it is just fine, and I've heard of e-liquid turning brown (without affecting flavor) because of nicotine's air and photosensitivity, but I've never seen it this dark. I just want to make sure it's not contaminated or spoiled or something before I continue to use it. Also, I can post a picture of it if necessary. Thanks for any and all help!

There's seriously no one who has had this issue?

Yep I have gotten dark dark juice and it was fine it was very dark

It's normal for juice to be naturally dark, some juices are like that especially once they've 'steeped". If it tastes fine there's nothing to worry about.
I came across this picture of a juice that shows hwo much the color can change, it's normal in many juices and often signals when it's 'ready' to vape.

Thanks for the info, guys. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't putting gross black lung death in me before I vaped it lol. The taste is exactly the same as it was in the prefilled cartridges, so I'm going to fill one right now, and quit vaping this blue raspberry that I've had more than enough of. Thanks again!
