In this series of articles, we are going to explore some of the common problems that people experience when they vape. We are going to provide you with a number of potential causes and their solutions.
In this article, we are going to explore the darkening of e liquids. This can happen for a variety of reasons, all benign, but can alter the taste of the liquid. Below, you will find a number of potential solutions for this issue.
Solution 1: Storing Your Juices Correctly
The commonest reason for your juices to darken is simply that you are not storing them correctly. You need to keep them in a specific environment if you want to preserve them in their original condition for as long as possible.
Here are a few tips for storing your juices:
Even when you're transporting your juices from the shop to your home, you should follow this advice. For instance, never leave your juices in a hot car.
Solution 2: The Coils Need Replacing
When your coils need replacing, they can begin to burn out. This oxidisation then affects the colour of the juice and it can transform it from clear to murky brown. To minimise the risks, make sure that you change your coils regularly and use a high quality coil, such as HorizonTech vape coils.
Solution 3: You Are Overheating Your Juices
If you are using a powerful vape device, then you might inadvertently over heat your juices when you vape. This can happen because the residual heat from the device continues to effectively “cook” the juice once you have finished heating it up.
Overtime, if you turn the heat up too high, it will change the juice and the colour will begin to darken. It can even begin to take on a syrup-like quality. Not only does this look bad, but it can also clog your device and it won’t taste particularly nice either.
You can also overheat your juices if your coils are too large or powerful for the device. For example, using the low resistant HorizonTech vape coils in a normal vape device can result in overheating. You need to match the coils to the device, so in this case, you would need to vape using a sub ohm device, or your juices can turn.
Solution 4: You Aren’t Using the Correct Liquid
Finally, you need to ensure that you're using the correct liquid for the device with which you are vaping. Sub ohm devices, for instance, are intended for use with the higher VG juices because the devices and juices work together to create large vapour clouds. If you are not using a high VG juice in your sub ohm device, it is much more likely to negatively affect the juices.
We hope that you have found this article useful and that you now have a good idea how to minimise the damage that vaping can inadvertently cause to the vape juice.
