Ive been buying a lot of juices to try. The consequence is that it takes me a month to get juices once they arrive. The latest group i just cracked into from two different vendors have been steeping for a month.

All 4 bottles have tremendous throat hit, and not in the pleasant way. I'm talking, make your eyes water and cough like crazy throat hit. I can sorta taste the actual flavor underneath the burning throat hit so i know its there.

Did i oversteep them? Is there a way to correct it?

It's 60vg/40pg, 12mg. I tried all 4 of them on a 306 atty and fresh boge SR carto's properly wetted. 3 of them are from kick bass vapor and one is from madvapes. Ive tried tried tons of kbv liquids and ive never experienced throat hit like this from them, im not kidding, its searing. Born on dates are 3/26 and 3/20. All used on and infinity pro at 3.7v. I like to start at 3.7 and work my way up to find the best taste usually.

The taste thats underneath the unbearable throat hit is fine, they smell good.

I stored them in a dark drawer the whole time.

Hmmmm, what flavors? I don't believe you can over steep, juices are supposed to last about 2 years.... I find with some of my flavors, if I take too big of a hit, it feels like I am getting some juice stuck in the back of my throat and I start coughing my brains out....

Actually, the juice you purchased from different vendors could actually be the same thing. Vendors will sometimes order from the same supplier and rebrand them with their own name. Have you ever ordered from these vendors in the past?

Over the edge...

If you have a juice that's over 6 months old, you obviously don't like it, even if you ordered 100 ml of it. Probably should have PIF'ed it a long time ago. I still have some unflavored nic juice that's over 6 months old but nothing with flavoring. Anything steeped more than a few weeks is never going to get any better. PIF it.

wherever my daydreams take me
I would say to contact a vendor you are interested in trying and ask them FIRSt...see what they tell you...there are lots of liquids that are 'smooth' and light...not deep and strong..I have had both....it takes 'trial and error' hope you get more help and good luck to you..don't give up tryng...and try small ones at first* take care...*

All over the place
Steeping isn't something you "do" to a juice, necessarily, but it is just a matter of having a juice for an extended period of time. If you get a bottle of juice and it lasts you a month, then the last of that bottle will be effectively "steeped" or aged a month. So, the notion of over-steeping would be akin to keeping a juice past its prime or its expiration date. To me, it sounds like something else is going on, I don't know what, but, I truly don't believe it is the juice..."searing", yeah that sounds like a set-up issue.

Have you rectified the problem, or has it persisted?
