I think the best way to steep is to just leave the caps off for a few days, and to shake them as often as you remember. After that, I replace the cap, but leave it open if its plastic, and I still shake them as often as I remember. I try them throughout the whole steeping process so I can appreciate the metamorphosis of the juice, and find where it peaks in my opinion. Some juices are great right off the bat, but in my experience, almost all juices improve with steeping, even the ones that start out great!

I shake my juice daily before I sleep. When I receive the juice, I keep the cap off for 3 days. I do a test vape, and if it's good, I'll likely add it into some type of rotation. If it's a bit mild or perfumy or just not expected, I'll leave thecap on and store it for 10 days after the born on date or 10 days after the date it shipped; I generally write the shipping date on bottles without a born on date. If it's still not good, I wait an additional 2 weeks. If it's not good by then, well ... I haven't had a juice that was too horrible yet. lol

I have almost 30 x 60ml bottles steeping for the last 24 hours cap off. I always worry about them falling over in some freak accident but I cleared out a cupboard for my babies. My little steeping cube lol

I am curious on how much your AIV order delivered to Australia was?................."Alice......Australian for vaping"......."Vapeland...Vapehouse"

This is what I do as well, I just couldn't imagine not knowing what a difference time steeping gives the profile, and determining when the "peak" is like you said here. Plus I'm too much on the side of instant gratification!

One of the best customer services I'd say.
Aren't they just fabulous?

About $60.00 if I remember right - so less than 3$ per 60ml bottle
Just called and talked to Nicole. Excellent excellent excellent customer service.

He he he - That's what I recon too and what I tell everyone. They are awesome!

Hmm... so I just placed my first order with this company and am eagerly awaiting it to arrive in the mail. I went to their website to see if I could check the status of my order and it looks like I can only find out through Facebook or Twitter? Is this right? I find this an extremely odd practice if this is the case. Having never been on Facebook or Twitter I am not about to create a Twitter or Facebook account just to see when my order was shipped or to track it. Please tell me I'm missing something here. In any case, it will get here when it gets here but I find it disappointing if you cannot track your package other than the two previous methods.

I have to find a place to steep mine. My cats know how to open my cupboards.....

NO CATS!!! DATS MUH JEWCE!!!!!

I had to get those child proof cabinet latches on all my cabinets because of the kitties. I did have one kitty that figured them out though and would still get in.

You'll get a confirmation of shipping email once it does ship. Other than that...

$60 for delivery but what was the total purchase price?

60$ was the delivery cost to Australia - Not bad at all.

Considering it was a HUGE box with lots of little small ones in it - which housed 26 x Giant 60ml bottles.

The fluid weight is over 1.5litres so over 1.5kg. Then glass etc (the box says 4.7kg on the USPS sticker)

The price for the bottles is on the website.

Ok, having now sampled everything in my first AiV starter kit,

sample5: Zombie Apocalypse (3ml)
sample4: Bandersnatch (3ml)
sample3: Twas Brillig (3ml)
sample2: Afternoon Tea (3ml)
sample1: A Quiet Morning (3ml)
AND free gifts of Cupcake City and Lemon Loves Cake (wow, how did she know!?)

And of course the Ravyn:

Ravyn is good, with the potential of being one great NET. I think if the tobacco comes out more with steeping, the overriding vanilla and slight caramely sweetness will let the perique and other(?) tobaccos present themselves as I like, more top heavy and a little less sweet. Will be watching this one grow over the weeks to come.

Zombie Apocolypse, great taste, but a little too subtle. Will definitely order a bigger bottle with the added flavor per many's suggestion for most of her juices.

Bandersnatch, it's good, I like it, also subtle and needs the added oomph. Not as sure I will get this one again as the ZA, but probably will. This one may grow on me more in a different delivery device as well, or with repeated sampling anyway.

Twas Brillig, ok this one is fantastic. My favorite so far, great sweet fruit vape blackberry or blueberry can't recall which it is supposed to be, but more blueberry to my taste. Doesn't NEED extra flavor to my palate, but that won't stop me from trying it with such!

A Quiet Morning: I will definitely NOT get added flavor here, it zings! Such a great orange roobios flavor imo, orange something tea for sure! Very good, couldn't vape it more than a few minutes though, very strong flavor. Yummy.

Afternoon Tea, the only one that is a little disappointing so far, I taste next to nothing, but then again I have vaped the aforementioned right before, and again, no added flavor so will have to come back to this one first after a vape time out.

Freebies:
Cupcake City, ME LIKE! Just as described before, very rich, buttery cupcake icing. I would like a little more cake and a little less icing, but it is entICING nonetheless! May, and I mean, MAY benefit with more flavor added and a bigger bottle. I will definitely find this out in the future.

Lemon Loves Cake, lemon flavor is WONDERFUL! And there's the cakeiness flavor on the backend I was craving. Great vape. I wonder if added flavor would do it even better, but afraid the lemon would then be too strong. I love this one, surprisingly, as I haven't liked other lemon flavors before now, just as it is!

Well there you have it, my palate, my mini-assessment/review after just a few drips on a Boge 1.8 ohm atomizer at 4.0 volts on my Provari. Next up some other new toys (CE5 clearomizer, and a Vision Eternity RBA) as well as filling some of my tried and true delivery devices, LR cartos!

Wow Alice, you have found your niche! Happy vaping all!

Post your own review thread here General E-Liquid Reviews so anyone looking for great juice ideas can stumble accross it CT!

Thanks for letting us know how you feel about them.

I order mine with extra flavor too but I let Nicole decide which ones need it and which don't.

This is how she prepared my order (and as you know i ordered a bottle of EVERYTHING this time):

(*copy/paste passage from her email to me*):

In case you were wondering, the ones with Extra Flavor are as follows. The rest are made at our recommended flavor strength.

I see I see, thanks for your input :)

I guess I shoulda added extra flavor to some of the ones I ordered. I like stronger flavors with a solid TH. Guess I'll know next time if I happen to order again.

Yeah I made a second order a few days back and was very excited to try cherry blossom this next round, I didn't get B&W cookie, maybe will regret that! We do have similar tastes Todd!

Put together the vision eternity, man this thing looks cool, loaded it with 20 drops of Twas, and boy, great plumes of vapor! But flavor more muted than the Boge atomizer. Maybe, hopefully, it just needs to be broken in.

Anyway, Provari and Vision Eternity, in all their glory...image.jpg

And there Twas plumes image.jpg
