I know ... I'm dying here need more tea:cry:

geeze... I only ordered one bottle from them since I'd never tried their stuff. Perhaps I should have gone for the larger.

Out of curiosity, should their tea flavors "steep"? For that matter, should all their flavors? This is all still very new territory for me.

constant state of confusion
I don't vape many of the tea flavors. It's just not my thing so I don't know about those.

Twas needed steeping for me, but the rest really didn't need steeping. White Rabbit to me, changes many times over the steeping process. I love it right away and then it changes and I love it and then it changes more and I still love it.

I didn't order this week but I know that they were not open long before they reached capacity. Your best bet to guarantee getting your order in is to order as close to midnight EST.

Thanks. I was hoping to get it this week though and tomorrow may be pushing it but we will see. I don't even know how they have orders on the 26th because that was Tuesday and I thought they opened Wednesday. It's all good though I am sure everybody knows how waiting for vape mail is lol. I have been very patient but the closer to the date I should get it gets the less patient I am lol.

Well the truth is that they do open at midnight est on Wednesay, but that only applies to taking new orders. Realistically, they're only open for 12 to 14 hours per week at that "opening" time. I believe they filled up by 2pm or something. But on the other days, they are filling and shipping orders. Oddly, they're still a bit more than 2 weeks behind.

Hi Unc,

This is my second order from AiV and my first order was samples ( steeped two days) some juices .. The more complex ones need more steep time. My rule is when they arrive .. Caps and nipples off two days ( shake once or twice a day) the caps and nipples on one week ( shake once a day) then try it.. You can tell alot by the smell .. It should smell like the flavor it says. If it still doesn't smell good.. Another week of steeping .. Most juices I find two weeks is plenty .. Very few can go a month .. If after this time you don't like it .. You're not going to .. Put aside and trade or give away:vapor::toast:

IIRC, the folks at AiV recommend keeping the caps off for a brief moment. I may not be recalling accurately, but it was something to the effect of shake the bottle, keep the cap off for half hour, shake again, cap off for a half hour, then shake again for maybe a night or 2. You'll probably have to search their threads or send them an e-mail to be sure. Although from what I've seen with their NETs, they do lose a good amount of fluid due to alcohol evaporation though this isn't the case with their other flavors. FWIW, I believe Ahlusion also recommends a similar steeping method.

Then again, I keep the cap off for 3 days with a shake in the morning and evening then leave it alone with daily shakes for 1-3 weeks depending on how it drips.

Thank you for the advice, I'll give that a try!

This could turn into a very expensive hobby... The more I read about the variety of mods, tools, and juices, the more I want to just go hog wild and try them ALL.

I don't know, when they can't meet a 12 business day deadline they set themselves something is wrong. 12 business days. I am not one to complain alot but that's a little crazy. If I was verified I would sell the sampler I have coming without trying it. Even if I like their juices I would not buy again unless they got that under control. Just saying.

I wondered if they may have become so popular that they have a fear of hiring new employees who would have access to their recipes since their eliquids are so unique.
Nice theory, I order my sample last week so I'm not expecting it for at least three weeks or so. I have plenty of juice so the wait doesn't bother me much but I do admit it's a little noncommittal.
