Why Would E-Liquid Turn Brown?

[NoAlias]

Hello everyone quick question.

I vape Mister E's Gray Matter exclusively, which in the bottle looks light pink

I use V2 KR808D batteries and Kanger Clearomizers. When the clearomizer is around 1/4 full, I top it up from the bottle.

Now here is the weird thing: after doing this several (25+, I dunno exactly) times, the liquid left in the clearomizer appears light brown/tan, while what I'm adding is clearish-pink.

Am I doing something wrong?? Is the e-cig only vaping part of the liquid, leaving part behind? I have been getting occasional post nasal blood dripping in my throat and wondering if this is somehow related.

THANKS!!!!

I think in some ways the darkening of juice in any clearo or tank over time is a function of the repeated cooking of the juice up at the coil(head). It sort of reduces down like thickening gravy when cooking. Can't speak with any authority but that is how I look at it. I don't much worry about it until taste goes off or a bit burnt tasting. Then I do a full out cleaning.

The post nasal bleeding I would have checked. The only time I ever had such a thing it was a massive sinus infection that required antibiotics. I doubt it is related to the juice though it could be related to smoking cessation. I would see a doctor to be sure.

That's typically the nicotine doing that. Its photo reactive and that's why they send it in UV bottles... In my experience, it doesn't change the flavor or anything.... Just makes it look a little nasty...

On a side note.... The nasal bleeding, note sure about that... What juice are you using?

Yea not necessary to cause a scare with the bleeding, I created another thread for that couple days back, and definitely gonna see a doctor, was just trying to find out in the meantime what may be aggravating it. I feel zero pain just get a bit of blood in spit now and then, it's basically from dehydration, since I posted and someone said drink more, it has gone down considerably.

I use 12mg nic Gray Matter from Mister-E-Liquid with 50% VG. The brown color seems not to affect the taste at all, just wasn't sure if that was supposed to happen or what.

Is there any formula known for being less dehydrating? Meaning, is VG or PG any different in terms of needing to drink a lot while you vape? With Mister E's I have the option to go higher with either one.

Both PG and VG are dehydrating agents. Only real cure is drinking tons of water. Given that I am in Louisiana and our temps are hitting the upper 90s now I am also adding some sports drinks and/or coconut water to help with electrolytes and potassium issues that come with dehydration.

You should clean your clero every other time you fill it, three times at most. the juice is just cooking like the above poster said and see a doctor regarding your throat
