Vapes Vape pen + cart question - Burning the concentrate?

Hey - I feel like even if I keep my battery on the lowest setting, the concentrate in my cart turns darker/browns pretty quickly, and reliably. Am I doing something wrong? Pulling for too long?

Weird. I would guess that the oil is oxidizing. How are you storing the pen/carts?

Just on my desk or like in a medicine cabinet. Nothing crazy or whatever.

Laying it flat on its side? Is it darker near the surface of the oil? Or does it start darkening at the surface?

Seems like the whole thing gets brown after a few hits. I don't think a whole bunch about storage to be honest.

I store my carts and battery in this.

It sits on my bathroom counter. I’ve noticed a thin layer of darker oil at the surface of the oil. The cart I don’t use much has the same layer of darker oil.

If you’re having a different problem than me I don’t know what it would be.
