Liquid changes colour instantly

My juice gets made and looks yellow. It steeps for a month and it generally stays the same colour.
It only goes orange when it's in use and gets opened daily I.E. when oxidisation occurs.
I'm also interested to see what this orange business is about.
Could it be the extreme heat if you are in jhb?

So just an update, picked up some VG at Dischem, just finished mixing and my babies are looking good!
@Silver check how beautiful Ms Dolly Varden worked her magic
Was definitely a funky batch of VG I had but my supplier will collect and do further tests and of course supply me with a new batch.
@Christos I'm in CPT boet so the only thing that could have affected it at the moment is the wind lol Gale Forcing like a mofo over here!

I've been using Dolly Varden since I started mixing and it's all I use
Hi! Did you ever figure out what happen with the VG? This happened to me back in June of 2015 and we decided to pitch it due to our results. I have recently been plagued with it again, and unfortunately in a much larger batch. It only seems to happen when the VG mixes with the flavorings (nicotine doesn't have to be present). I don't plan on using it, but I would love to find out what is causing this. I haven't found really any other story like this online until now. Both suppliers that provided us with the VG claimed they had never heard of such a thing happening before. Thanks!
So my sample was sent to the lab for testing. These were the results:
- the product passed testing and meets specification levels for BP glycerine (2012)
- the 32 ton batch (that this came from) was supplied to major food manufacturers and that they have not received any information from any other source to indicate any problems
- the reason for the colour change remains unexplained
Hey guys. I had the same issue with said suppliers stock. I done a couple tests and noticed the discolouring only when adding following concentrates:
TFA Sweet Cream
TFA Vanilla Custard
TFA Marshmallow
TFA Bavarian Cream
FA Fresh Cream
Other concentrates I used that did not discolour the solution:
TFA Dragon Fruit
FA Strawberry
TFA Strawberry Ripe
TFA Berry Crunch
TFA Menthol
TFA Double Apple
TFA Cotton Candy
CAP Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy
Maybe a common ingredient in the above mentioned concentrates that caused the discolouring. I actually let my juice steep for the duration it normally steeps for and I took the chance and vaped it. I did not notice anything funny with the taste, although I have chucked the rest of the juice just in case I find myself growing an extra toe in a few months time.
Should there be any biochemists on here that would like to test the batch of VG, I haven't disposed of everything and can send a sample for evaluation.

Out of curiosity do those numbers stay on the bottle? I used permanent marker on mine but they still wipe off
Hey @Kolashnikov the permanent marker eventually comes off after a while. If I want a more permanent solution I usually put some clear sellotape over the numbers. Then they last forever
Hi, All.
The glycerine causing the discolouration was collected from the customer and sent to the laboratory for testing. Their results showed that the product passed testing for normal test standards as per the original test certificate. They noted to me telephonically that this particular batch, no. 15/10/20 was a 32 ton batch and was also supplied to major food manufacturers and that they have not received any information from any other source to indicate any problems.
Given that the laboratory has confirmed that the tested sample meets specification levels for BP glycerine (2012), they are happy that the product was not contaminated in any way and is safe as a food grade product.
I’ve attached an excerpt of the analysis of the sample as well as the e-mail comment from the laboratory. They noted telephonically that to try to find the conflict between the two different products would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but that the glycerine itself meets the required standard.
I’ve had two other cases reported and both were also using TFA flavours and the same glycerine batch. Neither of them noticed any difference in the taste/vape. One decided not to use the glycerine because of the colour. The other used opaque bottles, wasn’t concerned with the colour and used 5 x 6kg containers without incident. The discolouration also seems to be restricted to this batch of glycerine when mixed with only one or two brands of flavours. As noted in the forum above, there was no discolouration when mixed with FW Skittles. We had no discolouration with our own flavour concentrate range.
I’ve had several different batches of glycerine since then without incident. I’ve bought a few TFA flavours and tested them on subsequent batches without colour change. It seems that this is an anomaly which at present can’t be explained.
Please be assured that every precaution is taken to preserve the integrity of our products. If a product does not meet the required standard, a replacement or full refund will be offered.

Just got my order from valleyvapour, bought some vg and 11 flavours. Mixed uo a batch of the following and colour changed as soon as i gave it a swirl.
Fruit circles
Bavarian cream
Berry crunch
Milk
Sweet cream
This is not the 1st time this has happened, maybe the flavours are a bit stronger than normal and caused the colour change....
Not to bothered as all my mixes are tasting fine, if i grow an extra arm. It just means i can vape more than normal

Hi, sickboy77. (I hope this name doesn't reflect your state of health!)
The overlap of TFA flavours and VG is evident with this discolouration issue. But all indications are that the reaction is not harmful. Perhaps Valley Vapour have an opinion, since you bought your VG from them. Have you discussed it with them?

Hi Geoff, lol no. My nic has nothing to do with my health.
It only changes colour with certain flavours, so im not to worried.
Hi
also experienced this issue for the first time, both batches of VG from valley vapor, for me it seems to react to TFA strawberry. My first batch from beginning of feb has turned back to oxidized yellow.
Freshly mixed batch, light orange

oh my god , I can hardly believe.normally , VG never Change color, how long have you store it?
i have vaping for 2 years , never meet this thing, you can try my liquid base, its very good , if the liquid leak or change color ,the vender will shoulder the responsibility. PM me
I contacted Valleyvapour, Andrew said that he had not had any complaints or heard of this regarding colour change. He will be sending me another bottle of VG to try, no matter what flavours I use. It changes colour.Made this morning and changed same time again, only when I add vg it does this...
Bavarian cream
Sweet cream
Cinnamon Danish
Vanilla custard
Vbic

Thanks @Sickboy77 for bringing this to our attention.
Firstly I would like to say that while a change in colour caused by the VG is strange I don't think it's in any way harmful.
Our current batch was manufactured on 04 October 2015 and the certificate of analysis shows all tests passed and a purity of 99.80%, well within the BP spec. I've tasted and vaped it and detected nothing to make me think otherwise.
Something I finally noticed this afternoon when trying to figure this one out is that in the right light at just the right angle I can see a slight yellowish/orange tint to the VG. On inspection of the certificate of analysis I found the characteristics of glycerine:
"A syrupy liquid, unctuous to the touch, colourless or almost colourless, clear & very hygroscopic."
I believe that it's this almost colourless, damn near impossible, to spot tint in this batch that may have caused the change in colour.
We are expecting a new batch, manufactured 20/01/2016 to arrive later this week.
