I ordered AIV samples on Tuesday night and they shipped on Friday!! I heard that shipping takes forever so I am pleasantly surprised. Does that mean that the samples were pre-made and don't need the mysterious "steeping" that everyone talks about?

They might be premade, I ordered that "little bit of everything" sampler and all the flavors were 18mg instead of my normal 24mg. I also found the samples taste a little different than when you actually order a bottle of the same. Not too much tho.
i found that the sampler changed DRAMATICALLY after steeping....the longer the better- they seemed VERY fresh to me.

I agree. I have several samples from AIV and they have all benefited from steeping. They won't take as long as a bigger bottle though. If you let them sit with the caps and drip tips off for a night and shake 'em up real good they'll probably be good to go. Enjoy!
AiV juices, like most, do benefit from a bit of steeping. That being said, I find all of them to be pretty damn good right out of the bottle.
We got our 'little bit of everything' sample pack today too! LOVE the packaging! I'm going to let them steep at least a week before I try them.
I've not encountered this and I vape a lot of their juices. That being said, I find they vape better at low voltages, what wattage are you using? I'm currently vaping A Quiet Morning at 3.8V on a 2.4 Ohm coil which works out to be about 6 watts.
MsComptrtchr: Maybe because it's just so good, you're vaping it more often than you realize? 
I had to put the Crunkberry in my AGA-T2 because my poor Evod just couldn't keep up with all the chain-vaping. The Evods do tend to get mighty hot on a bender, but I haven't noticed them getting any hotter than they do when I chain-vape other juices.
Any AiV that has citrus in it, definitely let it steep for a week or so. The teas also benefit. Everything else I found okay right out of the mailbox and they haven't changed much, if at all, after a 3-week steep.

AiV's Teas are amazing. I can't get enough of them.
I have bottles of Zombie Apocalypse, White Rabbit, Bandersnatch, and Ginger by the Sea....
Sorry to say, but I can't vape them.
The flavor to me is muted in them, and there's a papery aftertaste that is off-putting. I think I've now had them for about a month and they haven't changed any in that time...still weak, still papery, still not good. I'm pretty disappointed.

What type of delivery system are you using?
I've used T3's and Protanks, dripped in attys as well. Still the same result - muted flavors with papery aftertaste.

I'm having a similar issue, I want to love them but seems to be an odd after taste with the zombie and white rabbit... almost like a burnt plastic taste. I've let them steep for a week and still the same . I'm using a ego twist and a pro tank.
There must be an ingredient in their juices that just doesn't agree with you. I have found their flavors to be fantastic and full of flavor. I vape 24mg through a simple delivery system- Halo Triton.
Yeah it's no big deal, everyone's palate is different and all that. I was just commenting on my personal experience with those particular flavors that I ordered. Hey, on a side note, they definitely have the best packaging out of any vendor from which I've ordered!
I have several of their liquids and the only one that has really struck a chord with me is Crunkberry, which I REALLY enjoy - I'm vaping it right now, actually. I was really looking forward to their Lemon Loves Cake because I LOVE lemon pound cake, but it just really hasn't done anything for me yet. I've only tried it in a carto/carto tank so far... I've had it for about a month and I will probably try it in a RDA soon, but the flavor definitely tastes muted for me.
Twas Brilling is pretty good, Zombie Apocalypse too... I couldn't get into White Rabbit at all - it has plenty of flavor but it's just a little off-putting for me. Black and White Cookie was alright but I got it on a more recent order (when I ordered some more Crunkberry) and it may benefit from some steeping. I have more and some of them have been pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I'm sure I'll keep going back for the Crunkberry and I'll try new flavors now and then, but I definitely think there are better vendors for my taste.

What nic? I'd be interested in them if you don't want them, depending on the nic. You could sell them on the classies- I'll be first in line if the nic is low enough
