Ok so why not diluted your flavors in advance example 50% or even 20% concentration. Will this not help steeping time
Diluting concentrates

One problem I foresee is that you'd have huge quantities of flavors everywhere. For instance, a 30ml bottle of of concentrate would equate to 300 mls at 10%.
Also, pg and vg stays for a quite a while when in model conditions. Once something is added, it changes the shelf life.

Oh 10% is quite low what about like i said 10ml 20% will give you 50ml or down to 50% will yield 20ml.
Haven't started dyi and already want to cheat
Gonna be doing lots of mixes so not worried about long term for the diluted stuff.
Never done anything like this before but to me expanding the volume will give it that steeping time.

I see a few problems:
1. If you dilute your flavors down to 20% and make a juice that is 20% flavoring (I have a 6 flavor mix that is 21%) then the juice would be 100% of diluted flavoring, no room for Nic. If you wanted to go any higher, you wouldn't be able to do it.
2. Contrary to popular belief, not all flavorings need to be steeped. As a matter of fact, most of mine are shake and vape.

Edit If you want to steep, it's mixing your flavoring with your PG, VG, Nic and any other flavors in your mix. I really don't see how cutting your flavors strength with just PG/VG would help with steeping at all.

Good point. Do you have some tips on what flavors might need some steeping ?
Thank you
Thank you
The only mix that I really think improves more than marginally with steeping is a cheesecake recipe I make.
That being said a lot of people that say tobaccos and creams in general benefit from steeping. Fruits are usually good to go after mixing. These are just in general. Different flavors, companies, personal taste, etc vary.
Like I said, I'm one of the minority here who thinks steeping is overated for the most part. In my experience if I don't like a mix when I make it, I'm not going to like it a month later. I think steeping can marginally improve some juices, but not turn a bad tasting juice into a gourmet delight. There are always exceptions, but in general, that's how it is for me. Just my
. Good luck!

I've mixed some tobaccos and tried right away and couldn't taste anything.
2-3 weeks later and "hello" there you are.
Some will taste like perfume, chemical, just plain sweet, fruity, nutty, or just plain nasty.
There are some exceptions, as I think "some" of the alcohol based tobaccos blend faster.
Heating will help a lot, but still need some additional time.
If your tobacco doesn't taste good after 4 weeks, dump it...
