That's right folks, I am a genius! Let's get some backstory first.

It was a nice warm afternoon, around 3pm at the time I usually wake up. I woke up to some vapemail! Well I tore it open and grabbed my bottle of mocha from MBV. Out of the mail it was very good.

Well I decided to go out to a friends house and braught the bottle with me for convenience issues. After I came home after staying up for 24 hours I set my stuff down and went to bed. I awoke hours later unable to find my mocha!

I spent minutes and minutes searching for it but alas to no prevail I couldn't find it. I did everything I could. I tied checking my vape gear box, and the table top....nothing.

It wasn't until a week later I was sitting on the. Couch enjoying a particularly delicious Big Mac from McDonald's when out the corner of my eyes I saw a bottle of brown liquid. I was thinking to myself, "That's odd, I dont remember having a Brown liquid. I should go check that out, but thia burger is good. I'll check it after I'm done eating."

After gorging my meathole with a cholesterol increasing grease burger I saw it was my long lost mocha! I wondered if it would taste the same or better. So I loaded it into my evod and what I tastes could not be described in one paragraph, but instead in one very powerful word. "Nice.

There you have it! A new method to steeping e liquid!

I dont even understand where it was. I read your story a few times but you were on the couch it didnt say it was in the couch or anything as I thought you were sitting on it for a week. So from your story I have no new steeping method. I may however go sit on my juice for a week just for the hell of it.:blink:

Maybe after a few weeks it will crack open and a smaller, fresher bottle will emerge!

Maybe someone can help me I've been storing my eliquid In a Tupperware in my refrigerator. Also will they steep in the fridge?

I hear about people putting them in freezers and such to keep the shelf life longer. Steeping...idk. if Im remembering chemistry in highshool correctly it will happen BUT it will take longer. Hotter temperatures will get it to saturate faster. Kinda like hot tea disolves sugar faster than cold tea. Stochiomitry yo.

Warmer, to a point will speed steeping, but not hot (90-100 F is good for a fast steep) cooler and it slows it, refrigerated weeks become months and, frozen, well, it doesn't steep when frozen. Periodic (twice daily) shaking to mix helps too and, thinner juice steeps faster than thicker (more PG is faster.) Complex flavors take longer and, some single flavors don't need steeped at all.

You can also hurry it up when you DIY by mixing the flavor and the base for favored recopies ahead of time and steeping them, then adding the nic later. Even mixed double strength, and steeped, the final juice won't need much steeping, if anything more than a dip in hot water to warm it and a good shake.
