Banana Cream Pie from MBV, how long should I let it steep?

[Mountain_Rain96]

I ordered 50mls of banana cream pie from MBV at the beginning of this month, so it's been steeping for almost 3 weeks now, and it's still un-vapable (tastes like chemicals). This was my very first order with them, and I've practically been salivating to try my e-liquid. I've read so many positive reviews for this very same e-liquid, and it being vapable right out of the mailbox. I ordered 65/35, with 3 extra flavor shots. Is it normal for some of their liquids to have to steep for 3 weeks or longer? Is it because of the extra flavor shots? Did I maybe just get a bad batch? I really do want to like them, because their prices can't be beat, at least as far as state-side vendors go.

did you leave the cap and dripper off for 24 hours before letting it set? or just let it set? Usually leaving the cap and dripper off for a day or two helps with that .

Bad batch maybe? Ive ordered bcp many times and while it def gets better with age...its a decent vape on arrival

Cool, dark, dry place, cap off, then put back on, the whole nine yards. But thanks for your input just the same.

Man...I hope not. But even if that turns out to be the case here, I'll still give them another try. Like I said earlier, their prices are out of this world cheap, and they do seem to have an excellent reputation. I've gotten a couple of bad batches before, elsewhere, it happens.

I've thrown out two bottles of e-juice before, after a couple months of steeping, both MBV. Dutch Apple Pie and Banana Creme Pie. They both became "more vapable", but still disgusting Banana Runtz. In fact, it was BCP that finally convinced me out to try other vendors, and I haven't looked back. A juice should never be disgusting, no matter how "fresh" it is.

Also, 50ml will take longer to steep than a 15 or 30ml bottle. I would rethink ordering large bottles of juice you haven't tried yet. At least with MBV, you haven't flush that much $$ down the drain.

Still new to this, been vaping ~5months. Why didn't you (a) try a small bottle and (b) get it with no flavor shots? As I've read...sometimes more flavor is not always "better" flavor. Wife and I are now trying out 2 new vendors, totally new flavors to us, and they offered sample packs so the investment was rather minimal. We also have on our short list to try MBV as well as many others.....slow and steady until we find enough flavors that we like to stock up.

You may already be past the point of no return but this is what I would do.
Separate out 10/15 ml put it in a mug with very hot water. Wait until thats room temperature and do it again 2/3 more times.
If the juice is still bad after that I would PIF. Someone else may like it.

My first few orders from MBV all had extra shots and I disliked them all. My last few have had 0 shots and I like them all. Coincidence, I dont know but Ill never order shots again.
