Aging Process in Barrel ?

[Devilstompa]

I've read something that company's are putting out Reserve eliquid steeping them in Oak barrels ? What kind of flavor would it add ? & what would the long steeping process in barrels do ? Thank you

Might be wrong but if I remember right, the oak adds tannins to the finished product.
I mainly posted to say, I would love to try a mellow fruit flavor vape that had been steeped in an old oak barrel that had previously aged some Kentucky bourbon whiskey!

Possibly to give it a truer bourbon flavor? Does that mean they burn the barrels? That's the difference between straight whiskey and bourbon whiskey. They burn the barrels to give the whiskey a more smokey flavor.

One of my favourite nets from the uk, red vape shade reserva, used oak barrels - apparently bourbon, sherry or whisky.

Cannot say for certain what the impact on flavour is as I have not tried the same flavour without steeping in barrel.

However it does seem to have a distinctive taste profile, similar to say a fine whiskey. Definitely adds something. Definitely a full flavour.

I haven't tried anything barrel aged, but I have been interested in them for anwhile. Have used the oak spirals used for wine and beer making to "oak" some custard juice that I have. It works really well.

Wouldn't be good at 50 years. Wonder what age time one would run?

I was fortunate enough to procure a 30ml VCT special reserve forma company in southern ca. Vanilla custard tobacco steeped in an oak barrel for two months. Very nice flavor. Smooth & creamy with a woodsy tobacco flavor on the exhale. Grab one if u can find. They only make 500 or so each year
