what does this mean ?

[kingshockey]

hey guys i just got 4 new bottles of the regular juice i been vaping the past year its a 60vg 40 pg mix at 6mil nic but the color is like a jolly rancher orange not the boones strawberry hill color it always was before and its got a slight perfume taste on the exhale on the inhale it taste fine like normal what can i do to get rid of that perfume taste? thx for any help

If it's a fresh mixed juice, it's possible a flavoring that was used might have alcohol in it. It will evaporate, or you can leave the top off for a bit, but you don't have to. The color of it, could be due to nic oxidation. It's happens, it's normal. But if this the same juice you've always gotten, I supposed it's possible that the vendor might have changed brands of nic, or flavoring.

Have you contacted the vendor?

I would contact the vendor and send them a photo. This has come up before when someone has received an "off" looking color, unfortunately I can't remember what the problem was. But the vendor may know what's going on by seeing it.

no i was thinkin to i tried in the past asking about larger bottles i could purchase but they never responded back but pretty much just let it sit and do its thing then anyhow thx to you both for the fast reply

Darker color can mean one of three things.

Different flavors were used to make the same juice.

A higher concentration of the same flavors was used to make the juice.

The juice oxidized.

In either case the best option for you is to contact the supplier.

 

[Rickajho]

I just don't want to see you vaping anything that might be off - like they screwed up the nic percentage, it's REALLY old nic or something like that.

Maybe it's something 'innocent' like they changed sources for their flavoring, but I wouldn't second guess a liquid that doesn't seem right.

what can happen if nic is old?

 

[nightshard]

It looses potency and changes color

Nothing harmful. But the color can yellow and it can take on a harsh edge as it ages. To even a lesser degree of concern the nic level can drop slightly as it oxidizes over time.

thx for the info

haha had me worried kinda with your previous post thx for lookin out

 

[kingshockey]

so if its old nic they used it would kinda like smoking an old or stale cig then ?doesnt taste all that good and flavor just kinda off ?

 

[Huckleberried]

Maybe a little harsher. Maybe a bit peppery.

 

[nightshard]

Same goes for flavor oxidization, not just nic.

harsh or peppery is ok just that slight perfume taste i can do without starting to feel like i have been sleeping all night with a woman who wears to much perfume haha

 

[nightshard]

Perfume like taste can also mean the flavor concentration is too high.

but there isnt anything i can do to change it?

First - you wait.

Shake it every so often and then leave it sit with the cap off. If the problem is alcohol as a carrier for the flavoring that will help to drive the alcohol off. This could take days to weeks.

If the problem is the flavor % was mixed too high you can always mix it with some unflavored liquid. Unflavored VG you can get in a drug store. But if you want to keep the nic level the same you would need to buy some 6 mg unflavored liquid. You can get unflavored with nic at most flavored juice suppliers.

If in fact the problem is that the flavor concentration is too high, it can be solved by diluting it with PG/VG, the problem is that it will also reduce the concentration of nic.
