This Apple Pie w/ Ice Cream I got certainly got better after a day or two.

Edit: As did the Snickerdoodle, and the Orange Dreamsicle, too.

I used to have a small business making candles, and they require a similar steeping process after pouring. Depending on the wax, you'd need to let them cure for up to 2-3 weeks before they would 'throw' any scent while burning. I wouldn't imagine working with scent oils and flavor oils is too far different.

These were all good right out of the mailbox, but they've only gotten better in the days I've had them. Wait, if you can. ;)

I've been wondering about this "set-up" or "steeping". I had no clue what it was, so I searched through this forum. You mean to say that after she creates the juices and they spend 2-3 days in the mail, they need to sit a few days at your house to attain optimum taste? Why? It sounds strange. Has Ms. T herself ever commented on this? Many thanks!

Edit: If it is preferable to do this, is it then better done at room temp or in the fridge?

If you think about it, they're not really sitting while in the mail. And I never refridgerate unless it's 70+ in my house. Just my two cents.

^ Well, the "born on date" is when your order goes to 'Baking'.... so, she already does give you the born-on date. ;) Even the time!

Now, I haven't had the time or money to try all of Ms. T's flavors yet, as much as I would like to. ;) But, out of the ~15 flavors I have tried... I'd say at least 10-12 of them tasted so much better after they've sat for 3-4 days.

Orange Dreamsicle was a great example.. when I first got it, I reviewed it here that the orange had a liqueur taste to it... well, then I had to revise it, because that sharp liqueur taste faded away after sitting in the drawer a couple days... and it became really creamy and delicious.

Some flavors are great right out of the mailbox, and only get better with time. I will always try to wait as long as possible.. but there's always one or two I try straight out of the mailbox. :D

I don't know that I've ever seen Ms. T comment on this directly.. but a lot of people here, myself included, seem to get a lot better, fuller flavor after the juices sit at home for 2-4 days. I don't refrigerate my juices, they're just in a kitchen drawer that's turned into our Vaping Home Base and Recharge Station (C) ;) Just a dark, cool place. The juices get way too thick in the fridge. I only fridge juices that I won't be using for a while... ie: stockpile purchase of 3 bottles of a standby flavor, I'll keep one out for use, and fridge the other two till I need them.

Of course, all of this is just what I do, and the results I've gotten from them... your mileage may vary.

Alrighty here I go LOL

Although some of the juices are great right as you get them and some seems to need to "steep". I feel it is really up to your tastes buds. I mix mine and vape them directly after. All to me.... seem great (except bacon LMAOOO)! Now here is the best part. If you are vaping lets say my butterscotch pudding (cause I love it so much) and you are vaping it all day. By the end of the day you think "man where did that flavor go that I had this morning?" Well the reason for that is cause your taste buds are getting used to the flavor. Like that cup of coffee you drink for hours and by the time you get to the end it tastes like.....well you know LMAOOOOO

Tastes buds are a funny thing. You can like something one day and the next you are on to something completely different or the favorite vape just don't taste like it used to. I recommend mixing up the flavors a bit. Give your tastes buds a break from your favorite vape. Or do what I do... y'all gonna think i am silly or crazy but i have been mixin my butterscotch pudding with my mirror blueberry and even butterscotch pudding with Ms T's Juicy Gum and Min Tee... No kidding and it is really good...sorta tastes like a mint choc, butterscotch for a fruit kick!

All in a nut shell! If you don't like something right when you get it, give it another go a couple days later and if you still don't like it ....then you don't like it LOL.

Just remember that ...just because you love "Chocolate and Peanut Butter" in real life doesn't mean you will like to vape it! They are so completely different when it comes to vaping! But trust me I am still working on that "Perfect Chocolate". Oh and just because you like bacon in real life...Doesn't mean it is a good vape either LMAOOOOOO.... But since I don't like bacon I try to mix it with something that I can vape too. So that means it will be good.

As far as storage! If you are not using that day I would put in the fridge. They will keep longer. When you are ready to use one that has been in the fridge. I recommend letting it come to room temperature before you use it (out of direct sunlight and cool dry place). Right out of the fridge it will be thick and you won't be able to shake it up correctly. So give it about an hour or so and then resume dripping as usual LOL

I keep my mixing office very cold (like a meat locker..as hubby puts it LOL) no matter what time of year. So I know the flavoring will stay fresh for sure LOL.... I also create your order when I put it into Baking status so that will give you an idea when it is created.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS SHAKE YOUR BOTTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if you don't like something let me know or there is a Trading thread here I recommend you use. Y'all know I won't leave you with something you don't like! Ms T's Bakery is not like that at all! That is why I also recommend purchasing the 6ml of a flavor you haven't already tested. Don't by big until you are sure it is a flavor you are going to like LMAOOOO

Hope this helps
Smooches TO Y'ALL
Ms T

Now that helps me out a whole lot Ms. T. Thanks for your input on this subject. that means a ton to me and probably a bunch in here. I didn't even know I was to shake them heck the cinnamon I didn't shake it a bit and it tasted good to the last drop, (like Maxwell house lol) But then again I didn't let it steep ether nor did it last me more than two days. lol LOVED IT!!!
So again Thanks
and why isn't anyone in the chat room? I try to go there once in awhile and no one ever!!!
