The color of your cart says a lot—but not always what you think.
We get this question a lot at Jam’n:
“Hey… why is my vape darker than usual? Did I get a bad one?”
Short answer: Nope. It’s just science. And heat. And probably your pocket.
Let’s break it down.
First things first: a darker vape cart doesn’t mean it’s gone bad, expired, or was filled with swamp goo. A lot of the time, it just means the oil has oxidized or decarbed—totally normal stuff, especially with live resin, live rosin, and THCa vapes like ours.
Car left in the sun? Pocketed it all day? Vaped a few blinkers?
That heat can speed up the oxidation and darken your oil, especially if you’re rocking ceramic or low-airflow hardware.
Cranking up the voltage might feel powerful, but it can burn terpenes and cause oil discoloration.
We recommend:
1.8v – 2.4v for live resin
No blinkers, please! (Your lungs and terps will thank you)
When THCa converts to THC (thanks to heat), the oil gets darker.
It’s not a bad thing—it just means the oil is doing what it’s supposed to.
Our extracts aren’t distilled to be pretty—they’re made to be potent, flavorful, and whole-spectrum. That means they’re a bit more sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen than those clear distillates.
Darker oil doesn’t mean it’s bad
It’s likely heat, oxidation, or natural decarb
Keep your cart cool and hit it low
Jam’n carts are made with raw, terp-rich oil—color will vary
