Hey so just for background i bought an Oz of distillate from West Coast Supply and now theres about a half Oz left and the tops starting to turn brown.
If anyone knows how I could fix this i'd really appreciate it!

air is getting in, the oil with air contact is oxidized, from the look of that cap, I'd transfer that to a appropriately sized mason jar, you want the least amount of air in there with the jar closed, or get a bunch of syringes (amazon) and fill'em, that would keep it better (less air contact) ....you'll notice some carts do that as well if left for a while half empty

I have some full unused carts from spring of last year and they are brown like that and they still get me really high.

ya it's mostly a cosmetic issue, may be a bit less potent for that darkened part, but not by much, should be fine to stir her up

Okay thanks, that was my concern. Il mix it up next time and hopefully it goes away. Any ideas on the best way to prevent this from occurring?

get a bunch of syringes or one big one (amazon) and fill'em, that would keep it better (less air contact) glass is best for long term

Alright thanks, because i got 10ml blunt tipped syringes I can put it in, but the 1ml Syrnges are only useful for terpenes cuz of there size. I was only hesitant that it would get stuck in the 10mL syringes because it would cool down after wouldn't have been pre mixed with terpenes at that point, but i guess il just heat it up after and hope for the best lol.
I appreciate all you'r guys help!!

ya for sure, warm up the distillate and the syringe(s) before trying to fill'em, will go way smoother
