Darker E-Juice Means More Better in Smell & Taste ？

When the eliquid is freshly made the taste won't be too strong and even. It will take you some time for each component of Eliquid to unravel and then bind to one another.

So usually the newly created eliquid will be left alone from 1 week to 1 month.

But if we leave it too long then this decomposition process will continue. The more decomposed, the function of these substances will be less effective. For example, the taste will start to be thinner (flavoring), nicotine will act on the side (nicotine), and the throat hit will be less smoother (PG).

This also actually happens all around us, the perfume will gradually change its fragrance or the glue will not stick anymore. There are only two that I know have not changed, pure water and honey, while the rest will decompose and change over time.

What you want is an eliquid that is in its prime. Normally 1-3 months after the eliquid is made. Actually, if it is stored in a dark place with a stable temperature, then 1 year old liquid is still very good to use. Although with a slight decrease in taste.

Some put them in a window that exposes them to sunlight during the day which will speed up the decomposition process. If the goods in the storefront sell quickly and are replaced with new stock, then it's fine.

But if it hasn't been sold for a long time, the color will usually be very, very brown.

Conclusion:

The brown color indicates that the liquid has undergone a decomposition process. Avoid liquids that are too brown because they will experience a decrease in the taste and effect of nicotine.

Look for e-liquid with a fresh color, slightly yellow, slightly brown but not dark brown.

E-liquid in a Glass Bottle Would Tastes Better than in Plastic Bottle ?

This is of course not true, but you have to understand the concept.

Have you ever drank water in a plastic bottle and felt a strange taste?

That's because water in the plastic bottle has been exposed to the sun or it's been quite a while. What happened was not that the water had started to expire (because water never expired), but because the plastic had broken down and mixed into the water. It affects taste and can even be harmful in the long term.

Glass has better heat resistance and is less biodegradable than plastic. This is why some people may find that e-liquid in a glass bottle is better.

However, it should be noted that the taste of the liquid is not better, but it is not affected by external factors such as decomposing plastic.

Actually, a good plastic bottle also has good resistance. For example, the Chubby Gorilla brand has good quality and does not break down easily because it has high production standards.

But there are also Chinese plastic bottles that we don't know what material they are made of and how strong they are against heat and time.

Conclusion

When using a quality plastic bottle, the liquid will not experience changes or deterioration in taste.
But for unbranded generic plastic bottles, we don't know whether the material is biodegradable or not.
Glass does not improve taste. But because glass does not break down easily, the taste of the eliquid will be preserved and will not change.
