Fresh ejuice looks like milk

submitted over 9 years ago by KiteLife

I'm relatively new to DIY, and I've been noticing that my fresh batches seem to get so bubbly you could mistake it for milk. Is this normal or could I be doing something wrong? Juice pic EDIT: Recipe

Shaking helps. It just looks like op shook it in a paint mixer. The bubbles will come out in an hour or two.

Never seen a liquid this white... my liquids would look like this after about 2hrs of shaking.

Having never used jizz I still think adding 5% joy should help

You should probably have a doctor take a look at that.

Oh, and post the recipe.

It's normal. It'll be clear after a day.

It's the juicy peach causing that milkiness. Some flavorings are really bad about that but it's nothing to worry about.

Did you adjust the recipe amounts for the amount you made? Link shows amounts for 125ml, doesn't look like 125ml in that bottle.

The batch i mixed was 125, this is just the stuff I kept for myself.

I feel like that is really incredibly high on the dragonfruit and maybe it's interacting with the creams and causing a separation of flavor molecules.

How did you shake the juice?

I've made this juice a lot and mine has never looked like yours does.

Without knowing the recipe itself, my guess is you've got a flavour that doesn't mix well with high VG blends (without diluting in PG first)

I've noticed this with cinnamon flavours mostly that have that nice punch of heat to them.

Thanks!

And that sounds like it'd be mighty tasty as well.

Try this then: take a small sample of VG and mix it with a bit of each flavour to see which one causes the cloudyness. The flavour shouldn't be affected so you can likely still use them in a batch if you want to or are facing lean times WRT your eliquid. Once you found out which one(s) are doin git, you could test to see if adding it to PG first and then slowly adding VG will reduce or eliminate the cloudyness. I do this with the cinnamon flavours I work with and it reduces the chance of the VG "curdling."

Also, it could be a threshold thing such that if you add it all in one go it gets cloudy but if you add the VG in small-ish increments after mixing all the PG stuff together, that might give you an idea on howt o deal with it.

Hell, it may not even be the VG.,.. Might be PG... Or a couple of the flavours aren't being friendly to one another.

Best bet that I can suggest is to try to troubleshoot what's causing it. Might take some tinkering but if you are put off by cloudy liquids, it might be worth trying.

(that said, some liquids are going to be cloudy anyway from what I hear... So, it might not be a thing you can even get rid of. That said, if the flavour is not affected and it's just cosmetic, might not be worth worrying about.)

I got cloudyness like that when I first started mixing. I was flushing my syringes with water, and that was super stupid.

Made mothers milk clone this weekend and it looked just like that. I let it steep in a pot on the stove on a warm setting and it made it much better

Don't heat your liquids man, the volatiles in the flavoring is prone to escape when heated leaving you with less flavor in your juice.

Yup, ruined a few bottles of custard before I went the DIY route by speed steeping since local shop doesn't pre steep. There went $$ down the drain, literally.

Now I only shelf steep. Never cap off either, that's just as bad.

I don't know, I've been using an electronic cleaner with temp control and I throw all my juices in there for a good 30+min, never had an issue, they actually taste better. Nothing beat shelf steeping though, but if you're an impatient prick like I am, it seems to help.

Hey, could you post the recipe you used for this? I have a version of it but I don't care for it all that much.

I know you wanted to include an image, but new mixers thread is a better place for this type of question. They start a new one each week, linked in the sticky post at the top of the sub.
