I have some concern because I have noticed that after letting the juice sit a while it seems that the flavors and PG separate from the VG.
After a good shake the liquid looks about normal again, with some oily looking bubbles.
As far as I knew all the flavors I used should be fine, and don’t have any oils. Has anybody else had this issue, or could anybody describe why this is happening?
I have stopped vaping it sense I noticed, but when I did it was quite tasty.
I cant help you, sorry. There is nothing in the recipe that should be separating. Most of the ingredients i have seen separate were citrus related. Barbarian cream, hehe.
Your problem is probably what you last mentioned Lorann flavor. I hear their flavors have oil in them or maybe oil based. Something to that effect. I apologize for not remembering any specifics. But what I can say is oil in the flavors was mentioned in the conversation. I doubt you need to worry about vapeing your juice just because it separated. Shake it up baby! The bubbles you can see from shaking ejuice is normal, though they probably wouldn’t look oily. Oh and buy your flavors elsewhere, not Lorann. Buy TPA, Flavor West, Flavour Arts, if you can afford it Capella.Good luck…
I use Bavarian Cream LA all the time, it does not separate. There are many LA flavorings that are used regularly, the only reason not to use them is the food coloring and not all flavorings contain it. Very very few of LA flavorings have oil in them. This is why i said i have no idea what would cause the separation as none of the flavorings are known to do so.
Does it separate after every shaking? I would try a little heat then shake. Use hot tap water, if it is in a glass bottle, then shake it. My thought it that something was introduced that shouldnt be there.
That is really odd, i use those flavorings all the time with the exception of organic SB. This could be the culprit. Ill search around and see if others have anything to say about that flavoring.
EDIT: After searching DIY sub at reddit i dont see anything. Maybe posting this question there would get some results as this forum is pretty new.
On last thought it that it could be the sour. Does it look like the appx volume of liquid? .14ml isnt much tho. Can you take a pic before and after spearation?
My guess is the organic strawberry is the culprit in the recipe above. I can’t answer why, but if you take out your Organic Strawberry flavoring and look at it, it looks fine… now shake it up and take a look. Mine becomes very cloudy, which to me indicates that something inside the flavoring is going on.
This is just a guess, but worth looking up, or maybe a starting point.
