Is this normal?

Just arrived from BCF and I’ve never had this concentrate before. I’m in frigid Nebraska so I have no idea if it getting crazy cold (-25) when it got dropped on my step has anything to do with it but I’ve shaken the shit out of it and it settles back into this after a few minutes.

I’m aware that some concentrates separate (looking at you blood orange) but this is just weird and very obvious.

Any help would be appreciated because I’m not going to mix with this if it’s not supposed to look like this.

Edit: words are hard.

Still. Fucking weird and super offputting.

Looks like it crystaliZed it's normal for some flavorings to do that when cold

My INW shisha vanilla does this like craZy when its in the fridge

Put it in a bottle of warm water for 30 minutes or so and shake, should be fine

You keep your concentrates in the fridge? I don’t know why I don’t. There’s likely a good 700 on my shelf from the last three years. My fiancé would prob make me get my own fridge.

I wouldn't put flavours in the fridge (or even freezer) since some are sensible to very low temperatures. Nic, VG, PG, all fine, but for flavours I don't think it's helpful. No direct sunlight, no place that gets hot, all fine.

That is a lot of TFA belgian waffle. But that second image kind of bothers me. All the sludge collected at the bottom. Eww

I stopped grabbing 30ml because I have an apocalyptic mindset regarding running out of stuff....But yeah. This separation is straight up egregious and really bothering me. I'm going to heat it up in my pocket and see if 98 degrees is high enough to get it to blend again. Still tho, not a great look.

Honestly I think it is totally fine but that needs a good shake

Few do! Only 500 people here, middle of ranch country. People ride horses into town, it's crazy. About 1.5 hours north of North Platte.
