Juice gone VERY dark

[padiho]

I'm a bit concerned about some juice I recently made. It's not my first attempt, more like my 4th, haven't had this problem in the past. I only mix menthol flavours ie. blueberry, grape, peach, vanilla etc. mixed my last batch about one month ago but this week everything has turned really,really dark. To the point that I don't fancy vaping it. Anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong..if anything?

Some of mine change colour quite drastically Padiho . . . I don't worry about it personally. It's the interaction/infusing of the various ingredients, mixed a month ago they will have.

Though I'm confused as a Menthol eliquid  is clear in colour.

I suspect oxidisation has something to do with it, and isn`t a problem.

I mix up a litre at a time in two 500ml bottles, one with a nozzle spout that`s left out under the table while I use it up, and the other kept in the fridge until needed
and while I only ever mix the same flavour (so don`t have anything else to compare, discolouration-wise) I also notice that they do go darker over time....

even the capped one that`s left in the fridge changes colour from almost clear to dark honey eventually, but that discolours more slowly than the one that`s left out.

Never had a problem with it.

That's why I'm concerned, hmm. The vanilla and the peach have gone really,really dark, the grape and blueberry not quite as dark.

Kaaru that makes me feel a bit better, dark honey is a good description. Just that my previous mixes didnt go like this

Ah . . . I see now Padiho, you're comparing these flavours to your Menthol mixes. They will be completely different.

Perps your two week custard brew is the colour that my menthol has gone..possibly a little darker...so is that ok?

I wouldn't worry myself Padiho, have you used a different base this time, that could also account for a difference, as could the warmer weather. Have you recycled bottles? There could be some flavouring residue that could affect the colour changes.

Menthol by itself is generally quite a clear liquid, but even that darkens over time.

Some of mine have gone nearly black but still taste ok.
