Pink diy juices

[SpaceCadet]

When I mix my juices they usually steep to pink color. Fruits, tobaccos and mix of both. I use TPA flavorings at around 8% combined in a mix. I wonder if the pink coloring is common or am I having some weird chemical reaction. They never go nice yellow or brown like the ones I buy.

Pink is common. It normally depends on the flavorings used, the % used, and the time it has steeped. Several mixtures come out pink, I would not worry about it.

How are you steeping and what is your nic level?

I believe the nic also plays a part in the color after the juice sits for a time

For steeping I let it sit, give it a good shake each day for three days and let it sit for few more days till I think it's tastes ok. Sometimes I drop it in hot water for an hour before letting it sit. But always get pink results. I use 12mg 70PG/30VG. I also thought if the Nic I buy could be doing it but not sure. I get the Nic from Health Cabin.

haha thats weird dude do if you use a clear flavor and add it to clear pg and clear vg it turns pink? may I ask you what you are mixing in
what are you storing your NIc in your PG in and VG cause that should not happen.. I mean I have been DIY'ing about 12 months and I have never had any liquid turn pink unless I used a pink flavor which the only one I have is Loranns watermelon

Yes....
I have several Clear flavor concentrates that when mixed virgin with nic/PG/VG turn pink over time.
Some will actually get quite a blush after a month or more !
Can actually tell their yummyness/readiness by color.

Anyways......

I'd guess the nic is the culprit but no way to no for sure without cutting things out.

Usually the pink ones taste harsh. Looking back at my notes lot of the pink ones has 1-2% EM added but can't see how EM can turn stuff pink.
