Can I vape any of this NOW???

[MnLA]

Hi all!

I've just received a much-anticipated order from mount baker Vapor, and of the flavors I've received, I'm hoping that there's at least one or two I can jump into without steeping. Can anyone help?

I got:

Black Currant
Green Apple
Prickly Pear
Caramel Candy
Dark Chocolate
Clove
Extreme Ice
BACON!!!
Cucumber Mint
Tidal Wave
Razzleberry
Texas Sweet Tea
Black Licorice
Cinnamon Roll
Pooh

Yes, there are two sample flavors in there, 'cuz the last three items were an accident that I want to wait and post about in the MBV Thread when I'm no longer "new"- for now, just know that their CS rocks!

Happy Wednesday!

Licorice is good with or without steeping but will get stronger over time. Clove is the same way. Pear must steep IMO. Others I have no idea.

 

[Prof. Fogg]

Steeping isn't mandatory, it just adds to the fullness and intended strength of the flavors, IMO. You can vape any of them now if you want. Just take notice of which get better with time. It looks like you got enough to last long enough to notice the difference in the flavors between now and later. Take notes!

 

[Baditude]

I agree with Prof.Fogg. Nothing says you can't try any of them right now, but the majority of them should improve with a few days of steep time.

The one exception would be the menthol flavored Extreme Ice -- should be ready upon delivery.

You didn't say what your juice delivery devices are. I see a couple of flavors that could potentially crack or melt typical clearomizers or tanks made of polycarbonate plastic.

Green Apple and Cinnamon flavors in particular. I wrote a blog article on this subject here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...6-something-safe-cinnamon-citrus-flavors.html

 

[Prof. Fogg]

Good catch, Baditude. And that's a very good blog post. Luckily I haven't had that happen yet, and now I'm not likely to.

Checking the Op's previous messages it looks like the device is a standard cartomizer.

I love Extreme Ice and it is good to go out of the box. I usually let most of my MBV juices steep for a week or so but the Ex Ice is always tasty from Day One. The others are not necessarily bad out of the box but they improve with time.

ide honestly try mine out of the mail, if its good ill keep on it, if its a shock and a twisted face then ill mark the bottle with a date and let it steep, and try it next week, if not still mark it again and repeat until its right lol. that way next time i order ill know around how long it takes for some flavors to come to true form.

Generally speaking, steeping is only necessary for more complex flavors, say tobacco blends with delicate notes to it. Fruity flavors are usually straightforward and require very little, usually no steeping.

Hi,

Many thanks to all who replied; I'll start with Extreme Ice today!

The reason I hesitate to try everything right away is that I haven't yanked the polyfill out of a carto yet to do drip tastes, and I don't want to dedicate an intact carto to a flavor that isn't ready to vape. I'll be doing that this weekend...

Happy Wednesday!

Try em all and make up your own mind if you wish some to steep longer

This is what you need. Great for tasting flavors. Drop in 3/4 drops give it 30seconds and vape. 510 Atomizer (Bridgeless)

Thank you... I've got a Volt though, so it's 808 threaded stuff for me. I saw a video (OutlawVaper?) that showed how to turn one of my cartos into a drip atty. I plan to try that this weekend with one of the less delicious sampler cartos I got with my kit.

Happy Wednesday!

Sorry I don't use the 808 but if they have something like this it would be worth having. Mine works great. Don't know if this would work with an adapter but they are cheap and it's worth a try.

 

[SouthernBliss]

The cinnamon roll should be good to go today but will improve very slightly over the next few days. Green apple we had to let steep a couple of days but not longer than that.

 

[MnLA]

Baditude, you give good blog... Thanks!

I'm all about the basic steel cartos (for now), so I'm good with the destructo-flavors.

Happy Wednesday!

So, I have been known to be a little slow- but what exactly is steeping? Is it simply letting the juice sit around anywhere? I wasn't aware of steeping until I noticed this thread.

My first two flavors will arrive tomorrow (hawaiian delight and creme de menthe) and was planning to simply try them out of the mail.

Thanks!

Steeping is a bit of a misnomer, as you dont add anything to it. Steeping really would be like adding some herbs, or garlic, to olive oil and letting the flavors mix and mingle.

We (the e-cig community) use the term just 'cuse...just one of those things. There are many, many methods of steeping. Me, I leave the tops (and dropper thingie) off for one or two days (depends on if they smell "perfumey" or not), then cap them and let them sit in a cool, dark area. Some use a shoebox, I use a few Pelican boxes as they are air tight and I have a ton of them sitting around from my other hobby (I collect watches). I also shake em up each day when I get home from the office, and will drip them using a bridgeless atty...untill they are good and ready to make the transition over to the "ready to vape" box.

Everyone has their own method

Cinnamon Roll from them is good out of the box. but heard it can crack plastic tanks. I use a protank and it gets better everyday. between fills it has been steeping for a few days. today it came together (maybe 4 days since it came). the vapor and the taste is awesome

 

[DanKnowsJack]

Extreme Ice, and Cinnamon Roll are good straight out of the mail box.... And cinnamon roll is safe for all tanks (at least in my experience). Hot cinnamon flavors like atomic cinn., or any kind of cinnamon candy are not. I have used cinnamon roll in a Ce4 for a couple weeks with no problem.

That is true, but even simple flavors caramelize over time too, which can add missing sweetness and or bring out the intended flavor more.

I actually got an order in from baker vapor today aswell. Although my order was a bit smaller only 4 it's pretty interesting to note this info. I got a bottle of extreme ice aswell. Nice to know I can vape that right away when my mod gets here tomorrow. This is actually my first ejuice iv'e ever ordered and I was pleasantly surprised about the free bottle after spending 15 bucks! The other two I picked were monster and rose tobacco. The free sample I got was cherry tea. Right now I have them all sitting on a shelf with the cap and dripper off. Every now and then I squeeze the air out and before I go to bed ill cap them up and just shake every now and then. Oh ya I've read that you should give them a good shake before every use aswell.
