Do Aroma E-Juices need to steep?

[PLANofMAN]

Specifically, the WTA Tobaccos.

I've been vaping them as quickly as I've been getting them, and the oldest I let one get is about a month. Do they benefit from steeping? I guess specifically I'm asking about G.I. Joe and P-38. G.I. Joe has an ashy taste that I guess only I can detect (my cousin thought it tasted like a light cigarette) and I keep reading about people talking about the tobacco flavors in P-38, and I can't taste any tobacco in that one, just mint and menthol.

Personally I don't think they need steeping and don't detect much change with time. I don't think there's anything better than a brand new bottle because it means I have a full bottle.

That's the answer I was looking for, thanks.

I'm not sure about those two but on the tobacco road there was a bottle that I lost and then found and it was considerably darker and I thought the flavor had changed a bit. I actually like the flavor a little better of the darker one. I couldn't tell you for sure how long it was lost but probably at least a couple months.

That's not going to happen. Unless I too, lose a bottle. But, since the first thing I do is transfer them from the tiny plastic bottles to a bigger 15 ml labeled glass bottle that sits in a rack...
Yeah, not going to lose a bottle.

I had it in a jacket pocket and didn't find it until I wore it again.

It does steep. That's what shipping is for ;-)

So! Do Aroma WTA E-Juices need to steep? Does anybody else have an opinion on this? Has anyone steeped any? Has anyone noticed a change in taste with any that have aged at all.... Just wondering is all...

Read up and you will see the answers to your questions. Personally I say no steeping required

We agree, though maybe some of the darker sweeter VG flavors may change over time. For some reason a color change always weirds me out, probably unjustifiably.

I think it depends on the juice and also the vaper. I tend to like dark juices better out of the box, and lighter juices seem to improve with time. That's just me, and since everything's subjective, I'd say play around with things and learn what works for you.

I've tried two year old juice that was amazing. Will there be a market for "vintage juice"? I know at least one vendor who sells "aged" juice occasionally. There is apparently something to it (though that may be just marketing).

I'm steeping some Aroma flavors I didn't care for at first, hoping the undesirable characteristics will lessen. Some are too strong for my tastes, some are too weak, so it's an ongoing process to learn how to make the best use of any juice.

I have been reading alot on the forum about steeping and it seems that most do from alot of vendors and the consensus seems to be yes, But I was just wondering if any of you have steeped Aroma, But.... Guees I got my answer today with my delivery of 555 wta 24mg.... Looks like...

homeprogreen has competition for 555 WTA Now as I really love it and Have to agree with you that DK TAB WTA is not it, But 555 is Love It!

Thanks, I'm also now going to play around with DK TAB and steeping as I have found I don't care for it as much now as I now prefer 555.

Not sure I would be into 2 year old juices.... 555 wta is now my preferred along with DHT wta and Tobacco Road wta... Hmmmm! What to try next....

Yeah! It's been freeking me out on how fast DHT changes while in my various clearo's and even my pro tank....

Seems like we normally do. Must be because great minds think a like

We'd be a riot at a vapemeet.

I thought the DK-TAB was too strong. I'm hoping it will mellow a bit. Same with the Clove and Miami Creme Brulee.

As for 2 year old juice, I'm guessing that if it's not exposed to the air, it may not degrade too quickly. It would depend on the combination of flavors whether it would be good or bad years later.

In my experience, lighter colored juice benefits more from long term steeping, while dark juices can become nasty. I have some two year old BWB Malty (pale amber color) that's fantastic, while the BWB Virginia ( brown), same vintage, is horrible. I can't say which has changed color the most, but the Malty gets deeper and creamier, while the Virginia gets harsh and unpalatable.

Oh you should really try the G.I Joe 24mg. It's much better then the 555WTA. I would hate to see you vaping such an inferior juice as 555 when there are so many other options available ;-)

Aroma's juices have been steeped for a little while, so it's not like they need steeping. We are talking purely about taste because steeping does not effect the WTA. There are some juices from other suppliers where I've experienced distinctive changes from fresh through 3 months. However, some people like it very well steeped while others prefer it fresh. I think it comes down to each particular juice, because some don't improve with steeping and personal taste.

One of the things I love about vaping versus smoking, is we all smoked our particular brand, there weren't too many differences and usually we could agree with other smokers based on strength, menthol or not, etc. It's really hard to find two vapers who have the exact same taste when it comes to juice. I love that because I firmly believe that as long as it doesn't effect anyone else, it's whatever floats your boat.

Oh but I have tried the G.I Joe, Though not in 24mg and get the idea of it in 12mg.... Too much of an ashey taste for me... snork can have my share.... Thanks for looking out for me though.... I really do appreciate it, Think I'll stick with the inferior juice of 555 for the time being
