Vanilla juice Going Dark?

[jeffd]

hi, has anyone experienced their vanilla liquids turning very dark over time? i'm noticing this with different types of vanilla and also notice when this color change happens the quality of taste is not good any longer also.

thanks

Probably due to a burnt wick, at least that's been my experience. What are you using? Clearos? Cartos?

Mine always turn dark over time, last 30ml I bought is almost as dark as strong coffee now, taste changes as well and gets heavier tasting. But then about half of the juices I buy turn significantly darker after steeping a week or so, some taste better, some worse. Vanilla darkens more than any other I have used though.

Same here.Vanilla swirl that I made myself started almost clear and turned light pink and now is a dark brown !

It's the nature of vanilla. It turns anything flavored or scented dark over time. Why it does this, I have no clue.

I make highly scented container candles and handcrafted goat milk cold process soap. When I scent them with a vanilla fragrance, the end product will be Brown. The higher the % of vanilla added, the darker brown the end product will be.


Vanilla just turns things brown. It's the nature of the beast.

All my vanillas tint to a dark brown after about two weeks time, and only get darker as time goes on. So do a lot of creams, and others as well. It seems that the oxidation of the flavor hydrocarbons turns them darker over time, and might be an indicator of a well-'steeped' juice

thanks for all the replies. definitely changes the taste of the juice as i used to be a big fan of vanilla when i started vaping but over time when the stuff sits its aged flavor doesn't cut it for me anymore.

thanks again!

Could be that your tastebuds adjusted to the flavor over time... I sometimes have to take a week or two off my favorite flavor to let my taste buds forget and when I return it tastes like the first time I ever tried for a day or so

almost EVERY juice i have has gotten darker over time.. not just the vanillas

after 2-3 weeks a couple of my clear liquids (with slight hints of yellow) are urine colored now lol..

My vanilla has gotten darker too but I think the flavor is better, more rich. I know my tastebuds have completely changed though. I used to want only fruity or bakery. That went to dark chocolatey ones and now it's tobacco vapes and I hated those when I first quit. Crazy.

 

[oh u mad]

no, juices barely change color. it's your clearo's/vivi's that are causing the big color change by seeping burnt wick/juice back into your tank.

I'm talking about it darkening in the bottle. I have a 30ml bottle of vanilla I bought two weeks ago I haven't even opened yet and it's gone from light color to darker than coffee. It's always been that way and the taste changes as well as it does.

They do darken up in a clearo too though, not sure really if it's burned stuff, or just that we vape off more of the clear pg/vg leaving more concentration of flavoring behind though. Would make sense as most say they can mute flavors.

 

[unquiet]

Odd question maybe, but has anyone found that darker vanilla kind of tastes like licorice???

 

[glasseye]

My son got that licorice taste in some DIY I made that had French Vanilla in it. I didn't taste licorice at ALL.

FWIW, vanilla bean ice cream also does this. The flavor concentrate is light yellow but mixed it goes pink in a couple days and gets very dark over time. It loses the perfumy taste as it does that.

All of my light liquids turn darker over time.

It may be my imagination, but I get the impression that juices with higher nic - regardless of flavor - turn darker faster.

Has anybody else noticed this?

I think you're right, at least with vanilla. The van. bean ice cream I was talking about will go deep pink in a few days at 24mg/mL, but at 12mg/mL it's still yellowish after three days.

I made 12 by just cutting it with VG, so it might also be the PG perentage. I can't tell until I make a weak-nic, high-PG base. I want to say it's the PG and not the nic, though.
