Why do weed carts turn brown?
Each time you use your vape, you are exposing the oil to heat and oxygen: two elements that make oxidation happen, which is the prime contributor to the natural darkening process.

This is actually because of the same oxidation process we have previously mentioned, and again is no cause for concern. When the nicotine in your e-liquid is exposed to oxygen, this will gradually cause it to change colour and even storing it in a dark, cool place won't stop this from happening.
Why does my e juice turn brown?
The reason why e-liquid starts to darken inside the bottle is due to a chemical reaction known as oxidation. Nicotine is a highly reactive chemical and exposing it to oxygen, or even light, can cause it to react and turn vape juice into an all too familiar brown color.
Can weed Vapes expire?
Technically, a vape cartridge will never spoil, but it won't taste very good anymore. It also probably won't produce any effects, so there's no real benefit to puffing on an expired product. However, if taste or aroma don't give it away, maybe the appearance will.

How do you fix a weed cart?
The holes in the cartridge may be clogged with oil. Try warming your cartridge with a hair dryer (lowest heat setting) or by rubbing it between your hands to warm up the oil and change its viscosity. You can also poke a toothpick or safety pin gently in the hole to help de-clog it.
