Colors that Flavors Reach After Steeping

[wizard27]

Another comparison, though not a very good picture, I must have yellow lighting that affects the pictures.

These are Cherry Cola, a tester that's already aged, and a new 30 ml that's not.

The pictures are very hard to tell, the tester is clearer with a light yellow tinge, and new bottle is more foggy with a slight orange hue to it.

*Note:both bottles are 24mg and 50/50 mix.

RY5 is my go to flavor. It comes very dark brown and turns nearly black. It is good out of the mail but I always age it at least 30 days and it is amazing. RY4 is lighter and ages to a darker brown and at 30 days is very good. I have a 3 month old bottle of Strawberry Twist that is dark red and tasty. I like to get the 120ml bottles and when I take out the last one or next to the last, I order another one to make sure it is aged when I use it.

Nice to see you again, trichman...been missing you around here.

That is what I am hoping that we can do is get a good stock of juices around here. It's driving me crazy though on what to order right now just to keep us vaping, and then being able to at some point order the ones that need steeping and staying out of them. I hope thats not too confusing. lol

I agree 100%!!! The 120ml bottles are the only way to go. Their economical, you can steep 'em, and they don't take up all the space that those little, tiny bottles do.

So how do I get us a good stash going? Trying to make a list and being on a budget really sucks. Any advice you all have I am up to hearing it. Pleeeaaasssee I beg of u!

That's easy. Buy some 120ml bottles of Cappuccino Smooth and CocoaChaos and send them to me for aging and safe-keeping. Then buy some 120ml bottles of Irish Cream and Pure Cig and do the same thing. And just keep on doing that.

And before you know it you'll have a nice stash of steeped juice ... in East Texas.

And I have to trust that you would stay out of them?? Me don't think so. lol

But seriously how do I get there with needing to have something to steep?

You know what? For now, buy what you like in amounts you need of juice that you can use when you get it.

Get plenty of samples of juice you think you "might" like. I understand samples are already steeped.

Wait until the Gold Label juices come out (pre-steeped) and buy what you need of juice that is ready to use but required steeping.

This way you'll only be buying what you know you like and you won't need to make a big investment into buying juice that is just sitting there steeping. I'd also buy 60ml or 120ml bottles as much as possible.

I think that is what we have finally decided to do. Here's our list

Im getting:

Vanilla Tahity 60ml
Oba Oba extra flavor 30ml (gonna let this baby steep for a couple of weeks)
French Toast 30ml (first time trying this)
Rocking chair 30ml (first time trying this)

Kat is getting:

Ry4 60ml
Watermelon Bubblegum 30ml (trying this)
Butterscotch Almond 30ml (trying this)
Applewood 30ml (trying this)

Mind you this makes the 3rd time today we have sat and re-did our list. Then we have yet to sit and decide on the little samplers that we are going to try this month. There are just too many different flavors. All will be 50/50. I am finding out that I like the creamy flavors like the vanilla tahity, and the tobacco flavors. This all came down to a science from the 22 flavors that we first ordered. lol

You might want to consider getting 10ml bottles of juice you haven't tried yet. (I'd never buy anything smaller than that), because there is enough in them that you can use them for a couple days and see if its something you are really going to like.

Of the eight bottles your ordering above, five of them you are trying for the first time. 30ml is a lot - if you decide you don't like something.

That's very true, and we have been going back and forth over it. But what to do when there is one that we love and there is only a 10ml? I wonder if we shouldn't do the 60ml's and the rest in the 10s? We are supposed to have 60mls a piece to last us for a month if I am understand that correctly.

If your buying 10ml bottles versus 30ml bottles, you'll have money left over that you didn't spend. You find something you like, order it right away.

That was what we talked about after reading your post earlier, and then we changed the ones we haven't tried to the 10mls.

And you thought I was just another pretty face. Ha!

lol, Nah. I knew you were full of information too

It's going to be an interesting day trying to get all of this figured out with the steeping times and what not. We decided that we want to get up to where we have a three month supply. Nice big bottles of the ones that we just can't live without.

Another thing to do is to set your juice money back in the cookie jar and watch for Sales. When there is one, and if its for something you want, buy it then.

As for steeping times, two weeks is usually plenty for most juices, but my personal preference is a month. Anything that is going to improve will have improved by then.

FSUSA is pretty well set up to help even those of us who have to budget a little bit. Its just one more thing that makes them so special. So you not only get an American made product, but the highest quality, best flavors, best service, and support from people who really care! They really don't have any competition, at least not as far as I'm concerned.

I wish I could do that, but with only getting paid once a month from disability the money goes out very quickly. I am hoping to get some juices that can sit for a month before I get into them. Kat's Oba Oba has become a nice red color and she says it tastes really good. I hate it that we can't vape the same nic. It would make things cheaper as I would only have to buy them in the 120ml of the ones that we really like. lol
