Yes! I ruined a 30ml bottle of Gambit doing this early on in my vaping switch. very true.Just remember not to leave the caps off too long.

I leave mine off overnight and generally only if there is an alcohol, medicinal aroma to the juice, If it doesn't have that smell i take the cap off(which i have to do anyways to determine whether it needs the overnight cap off)to expose it to air and to test it FOOB, then immediately put the cap back on and let them steep with the cap on at room temperature in a dark place if needs be. length of steep depends on the juice and varies, iv'e found fruity flavors need less steep compared to tobacco's and desserts. This has been my experience anyways, I'd imagine everyones is different. Hope this helps.When should I put them back on? 4 have been off for 2 days, and I just upcapped my new juices today.

That post was in response to Taowulf, not the OPNot sure this is the best advise for a new vapor, first post stated OP was only 2 weeks into vaping.deadbeat said:I think you should do this ASAP. but you don't need to break the bank. Just pick up a decent dripper and maybe a Russian 91% /Kayfun Lite+, which will be maybe $15-$20 and $20-$30 respectively for clones; then get a decent mod clone, which will be $20-$50, and a couple quiality IMR batteries for $7-$12 a piece, with a charger, $10-$50.taowulf said:Since then, I also started making my own coils for all my Protanks and man, the flavor is so much better. So good, as a matter of fact, I am seriously tempted to blow my budget again by going RBA and a mech mod.
If you already have the wire, even better, but you'll likely want a lower gauge... 100ft of Kanthal goes for maybe $5-$8 from Tempco on amazon or ebay.
If you already know all that and want to get legit hardware just disregard. lol
Just sayin. DOIT you will be happy you did.

What you are doing is letting the juices "breath". So they say and I'll never understand why it's even necessary.Ok, I just put the caps on the ones that were off for two days, and I'll put the caps on tomorrow to the ones I uncapped today. thanks!

Riptrippers has an excellent video on steeping, some of it is way overkill IMO, but useful in understanding the different methods. Me personally, no more than 12 hours.
This. While I don't have that many queued up, I do have at least 3 tanks on the go at any given time and swap out often during the day.
Another suggestion to add, shake your bottles really well before filling your device. There is some separation of nic that isn't visible.
it takes more than a couple of weeks to get the taste and smell to start working again. And are you still doing the occasional ciggie?? If so, smell/taste takes even longer to come back. I keep 3 flavors on hand and will do a quick swap over to one of them when I find the flavor dropping off. Another thing to consider is the tank/coil setup. After a couple of tankfulls, the coil becomes loaded up with "gunk" and produces alot less flavor. I find that changing out the coil does improve the flavor too.
One thing I didn't see mentioned here is dripping. I've had lots of Dead Tongue Disease myself, and I bought two drippers (one for sweet and one for tangy). Vaping with a dripper really intensifies the flavors again! It was simple enough for me to understand and I've been able to enjoy some of my yummiest juices again. I've also forced myself to switch around flavors more frequently.
Only drawbacks: it's not a good on-the-road method, and my husband thinks it looks illegal LOL
I'd also like to mention that if you think of it as mint rather than menthol, perhaps it's not so scary?
No way, havent had a cig since the day I picked up vaping. 2 weeks now, no cigs. I've been changing coils regularly also. I'm sure my taste will return, for now it's water and rotating flavors for me.
