I ran out of materials to remake this juice, so I'm wondering if someone could tell me why or how it got like this, or if its not supposed to be and I fucked up somewhere.
I mixed up Wayne's "Misty" (http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/338747) and let it sit about 2 days.
This is the result on the right: http://imgur.com/azb6e4o
I've never had this happen except using high amounts of citrus, and I've mixed using all these flavors before and they never made a juice cloudy.
Very little nic was used, about 1.5mg/ml and there's absolutely no throat hit, if that makes any difference.
And yes, those are old reused Boosted bottles.
There are a bunch of threads on this issue. I would let it sit a while and check again. Either way, should be fine. You didn't change anything in the recipe so i see nothing to worry about
I did search, but most had to do with citrus or banana.
And actually I did change some things, I used half the sucralose, and a percentage less of the Shisha Strawberry, but obviously nothing that would cause it to be cloudy.
Fuji apple does this in some scenarios. I don't know why. I've tried to figur it out or notice a trend, but it always seems random. Make sure you shake it well before use and if it bothers you, add more PG. It's the VG and Fuji combined that creates the effect and I've gotten it to go away just by diluting with PG. The reason I don't say it is a lack of PG that causes it is because sometimes it is cloudy at 2% in a 70/30 mix and sometimes it is clear at 7% in a 70/30 mix. I feel as though there is more at play here but I can't figure it out.
TLDR; it's the Fuji Apple, I don't know why it happens, dilute with PG or deal with the cloudiness (it doesn't mean anything is bad and will clear up over time).
Thanks, this is the only thing that makes sense. Although I make a cinnamon apple juice with 3% Fuji and it never turns out cloudy, but there's an overall higher PG percentage due to more flavors. This Misty mix was max VG and not as much flavor, plus the boysenberry is ever so slightly cloudy, but then again the boysenberry has never made a juice cloudy for me.
Yup, it's the banana/citrus. Nana cream is my adv and is usually a bit cloudy on first mix then goes clear after a day or two, my other adv which is a pineapple/dragonfruit also goes super cloudy after first shakes. No worries, vape away!
I mixed up a custom recipe last night using FW maraschino cherry for the first time and mine came out cloudy too. I've also gotten bottles in the past from commercial vendors (suicide bunny) that were cloudy like this. As to your main question, is this normal/safe I have no clue
Normal. I had two bottles of FA Lime Tahiti Cold Pressed and one of them was cloudy and the other was quite clear. I emailed the vendor that sent me the cloudy one (Bull City) and they said it was totally normal and that it's usually cloudy. Absolutely no difference in the vape between the two.
Makes you wonder if the vendors are adhering to the Shake Fucking Everything Always Doctrine...
I had this happen with two bottles of FA Peppermint accidentally ordered simultaneously from two different vendors: one appeared completely clear in the LDPE 30mL, the other had a slight green tint to it. I didn't do a side-by-side comparison, but they both ended up tasting the same in mixes.
Just to make you feel even more at ease, a juice I made using TFA Pineapple came out slightly cloudy.
That is very likely air bubbles. Shake again and set the botle in warm water see if it clears.
Do you heat steep at all? Or even run a just made bottle under hot tap water and then shake like crazy? I'm a big fan of traditional time steeping, but when I was on the hunt for speed steeping or kick start steeping (which I think every DIY'er comes to a point they experiment with until they realize time steep is always the best), I noticed that I would get cloudy mixes or foam on top of the mix..... Did the same mixes again with traditional time steeping and the cloudiness went away.
Well that's actually really common, if you heat steep and shake like crazy, it gets super cloudy and bubbly and last like a whole day.
But no, I didn't do that. I mixed it up, shook it, left jt alone, and the next day and a few days after it stayed cloudy and translucent.
After about 3/4 of the bottle, it looks to be totally clear how.
Yeah, true true. Wasn't sure if you were adding heat so I thought I'd throw it out there. I've never got a cloudy mix that lasted days. I have however had many that leave a small amount of bubbles or foam at the top. Almost like the head on a beer. That kinda bugs me for some reason.
