Best steeping method

[Kent Brooks]

I found this around Christmas (not my pic. Mines blue)

As soon as I get an order it goes in the mailbox until I grab it. I have 15 ml bottles I refill from my 50 ml bottles. I always have an extra bottle of Frenilla in the box and try to have an extra bottle of Doodle. Sometimes (ok most times) I go through Doodle faster than I can back up. Placed an order Thursday and forgot it so another order will be needed soon.
Back to steeping, I don't shake the bottles until I'm refilling. Just being in the dark and time is all I do since most come from NT with a decent steep on it.

Oh look, squirrel!

I love the box Stacy. The only thing missing from this picture is a cute mailman.

After a few attempts of another juice company I'm a firm beliver in letting nature take its course regarding steeping.

I bought some juice that was ultra sonic steeped and it was just down right awesome FOOB. 3 weeks old it's horrible. One bottle was so bad I had to pitch it tasted funky, smelled like it should but had a funky hint of something in it.

Thankfully in my vape-life I have neough juice that I enjoy in my ADV rotation's that what ever I order I can let it go hibernate for a few weeks and enjoy what I have on hand before having to replenish or running out of the good stuff.

Wow! I never thought of using something like this to store juices. I'll have to head to a Home Depot, and check out a few...

With NT juices, time and maybe a burp'n'shake every couple of days.

Burp'n'shake: Take the cap off, squeeze the bottle (right side up) until the liquid almost comes out, unsqueeze the bottle, replace cap, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.

This. Good call spaceballs!

Good grief all the ways...Shake or not, cap on or off, hours-days-weeks, ultrasonic, vibrate, heat, cool, bottle burping...... I'm with Kent on this one, "If it tastes good then vape it!" If not, wait and try again later. Unless you're just superstitious, ritualistic or just bored and want to play with your juice bottles all the time!

In sticking with the seemingly common theme here that "more must be better", I've decided to try this for: Taking "shaking your juice" to the next level!! Who needs to spend the $ on an ultrasonic machine?!?


A couple of seconds @ 3000 strokes per min will turn clear liquids into white milk-like juice it gets so aerated

Get enough air in there and you could probably squeeze it and vape it straight out of the bottle.

Everyone has their own ritual... oddly enough, the steeping ritual is a big part of some people's "quit" so I generally don't mess with it. With the NT liquid being pre-steeped now, any additional wait time you provide is just icing on the cake (with a few notable exceptions (radioactive, frenilla, and even CLS and CB both improve well into the 2-3 month steep time).

That's obnoxious! I love it!

I'll vouch for letting that CB steep for a long time. It's absolutely addictive at 3 months....

Ya' know...I've got a reciprocating saw out in the shop that rarely sees any use these days. Hmmmm...

Hurry up spring, got some power tools that need modification!

YMMV on heat steeping - I discourage it, but I am the guy that drives 45mph on the interstate so I can get good gas mileage in my Prius... I'm not in a rush to go anywhere. LOL

I noticed you're just across the river-I'll have to try you guys out next time.

On heat, I got greedy and thought more heat=faster steep and let about 60ml sit in semi boiling water for just a minute or two and they soured. I avoid anything above baby bath warm now. Treating juice like good wine or whiskey is best imo.

Too many variations between ingredients and vendors' practices to nail down one method unless it's my fav flavor/s'.

I think you nailed it on the head Varelse - I can't really predict the outcome because it adds too many variables, so heat steep at your own risk.

I was born and raised in North-Central Iowa, under-grad work at the University of Northern Iowa. Where you located Varelse?

Spent the better part of Saturday night in CB - the poker tables were unkind... s'ok though, dice paid me back

We go donate our annual 20 buck at those places maybe once a year. Past 3 times we was there always some blue hair'd playing the nickel slots smokin stinkies with the oxygen tank.
