Aaaah, the "c" word.
I should add iirc both pg & vg are hydroscoipic. They will literally pull water out of the air. If you left a bottle open for years it might have drawn in enough water to do that.
what comes to my mind first is water.you will have to troubleshoot.mix small batches with new ingredents and old.good luck and someone else should have something smarter to suggest soon.
Thank you all for your responses. What a great community! Tanneck - you may have hit the nail on the head! Some of my nicotine leaked in a bag I had in the freezer. I poured the liquid back into the bottle and I'm guessing there may have been water in it.
How much water would would cause that?

So are you saying you made another identical batch and had the same failed result?

It doesn’t take much. A whole lot and you get a really hot vape, as water boils at a much higher temperature, but it only takes a little to kill visible vapor. It’s a fairly standard move for making “stealth” juice.
No, I didn't make a second batch but I had the nicotine in a baggy in the freezer and some of it spilled into the baggy, so I poured it back into the bottle of nicotine. I'm sure there was some water in the baggy as well. It was the next batch I made that I had the problem. After receiving the response about water, I discarded the nicotine that probably had water in it, mad another batch using a different bottle of nicotine. That one came out fine. I didn't realize that introducing a small amount of water in nicotine would have that effect.
Glad you got it sorted out!
Some do use a tiny bit of water to adjust viscosity, but that's usually just a couple drops per bottle of mixed juice. Too much and all you get is steam.
