Ok I take it the bottle of the left was what was decanted from your tank?

That's not good.

Sorry I should have said that Yes the bottle on the right is what went in the one on the left is what came out after an hour

I have a tank filled with menthol right now.

I tried to take a pic for you, but crappy camera etc.

Mine has been in there since Friday, was going to clean out today but decided to leave, it is water clear

OK I kind of think its the juice.

I was kind of hoping for some input from VE Jason but no sign yet.

Anyway as you saw a good clean out and a new coil and the juice still goes dark. I bought some cheap and nasty juice (Dekang pineapple) and thats been in my tank all day with the same coil (I dont recommend pineapple menthol) and it hasnt changed colour.

The thing is I am starting to worry now

I have just had this from VE Jason Seems like it isnt an issue just a peculiarity

Hi

I only haven't replied because I'm not allowed to post in the beginners section

The liquid darkening quickly is nothing to worry about and is quite common, just caused by the heating of the coil - especially when the liquid level gets low.

We sell around 300 bottles of the standard menthol each week and would definitely know if there was an issue.

Try keeping the tank a bit more topped up for a while and see if that has an effect (but, like I say - liquid darkening or crystallising a little is common - especially with menthols and high sugar liquids).

Hope that helps

Good advice from VE Jason there.

The colour change is due to the caremelisation of the juice and is harmless, though if it gets to a treacle colour it may taste a bit burnt.

Get into the habit of changing your coils around once a week or if they're vaping OK giving them a quick rinse through and your tanks.

As to losing the taste, if you are letting your tank run dry the liquid will caremelise on the coil and form a hard shell then the vapour and taste will diminish.

Also just vaping one flavour desensitises you to that flavour, (Vapers Tongue) I rotate between 3 flavours and find that keeps my tastebuds "on their toes".

Thanks.

It wasnt so much the taste I was loosing. It was just I turned into this raging maniac who would boil his own granny for a pack of stinkies

After a bit of research I think the nic was evaporating when the juice got hot.

and I didn't really let the tank run dry.... One dry hit is enough for this lifetime thank you. but once the juice was down to around 1ml it was worse
