those are the "kids"! haha.
i just went through my flavors, i have at least 20 i don't want/like. i'm at about 30% on the flavors i've ordered and LIKED. just ordered two more flaves from vaporbomb. keep hearing raves about backwoods brew, might have to try them. anyone have an answer on "steeping". i assume it means letting the flaves age a bit before you vape them. it didn't help me like the 20 or so flavors i just set aside for trade!

hey guys, what's this i hear about "steeping" juices? first, what does it MEAN? and second, how long would you do it? and third, why?

There are some boards that allow steeping discussions 'behind closed doors', but they do not allow that here at ECF.
I'm sure there's a California board out there that explains it better ;)

LMAO - Then there's the type of steeping that occurs when one is into DIY! LOL

There's my something new for the day!
It's basically like when you make chili & let it sit for a day or two & the flavors start to mesh together better.
Here's a thread I found on it:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/133026-steeping-my-opinion.html

I've never really got into the whole DIY scene yet, so I wasn't familar with it.
But, now that I know I basically put smoke juice in my baking (I checked out my coconut extract - WOW!!! ok to bake with, no ok to vape?), how hard could it be? LOL

does that mean they'll delete the thread? there is a long on started not long ago that i just found in a google search. if what they're saying is true, then there's nothing dangerous about it. seems like too much of a headache, frankly, for me. i do, however, notice that the juice sometimes does taste better after it's been sitting in a carto, exposed to air for a few hours!

eh. i figure if it tastes like crap out of the bottle when i get it, there no reason to give it another try. i am vibing hard on the hypnotic mist stuff lately! i think it's funny no one can pinpoint the flavor, when if you ever were a fruity candy freak when you were a kid like i was, you'd guess it RIGHT AWAY! i got a box of gobstoppers just to prove it to myself:)

You BAD - KC!

Why oh why am I thinking it won't be very long (after she has tried-out every 'flavor' known to modern man) that EW's NEW Kick (thing) will, in fact, be DIY?

Not bad, factual. ;)

And yes, I'm sure it won't be long before she's taking the flavors she doesn't like and starts hitting the LorAnn's flavorings to make them taste better. Heck; that's probably what EW was doing when she ran across steeping.

i was just thinking about ordering some...just to boost the flaves. what's wrong w/that?!!!! :confused: flavor shots are .50/bottle at freedom smoke usa, and that just seems like highway robbery! besides, everyone's coconut sucks! :p

You just HAD to say (LorAnn). All I personally want is - Full, Rich Tobacco Flavor / I just want to be in "Flavor Country".

I've had VERY bad success with taking others advise on juice, since taste is individual. Yet, I like the description of one so much I will try it ...what the h___. I do agree with much of your JC review, except Mercado which is a favorite, plus they have much more. Their 'domestic' is outstanding - best tobacco flavor I'VE found. One thing to mention is quality control, which I fear lacks in many garage-type operations. JC is a very pro lab - FDA registered, biological suits-clean rooms, etc. ...something to consider.

When I first started & I'd go out with the girls & needed a good tabacco with my beer, JC Original use to do the job for me, along with their TN Cured (I think that's what it was called).

When e-SmokeyTreats got his lil sample bottles in, I ordered a little bottle of their Turkish Blend, just to have a tobaccoy flavor on hand. Long story short -MlrMan thought I had snuck an analog one of the first times I used it at home. The only juice he's ever asked me not to use at home, since it reminded him of my smoking. I'll make sure to bring it with me at our next gathering.
EST use to also have a good M'boro flavor; but I haven't used it since I discovered RY4.

oh yeah, JC rocks! i guess i took it for granted that everyone knew about their exceptional safety protocols, since we get to claim them as a "WISCONSIN ORIGINAL" ! that, and you can just tell they are pros when you get your product. i wish they'd add more flavors, though. i would just die if they made a cinnamon vanilla!

(((BTW, GREAT news! a friend in sales is working on a JC-vaping event sponsored by JC and a local madison-area bar/restaurant. tentatively set for 11/19 in sun prairie! i'll keep yooz guys updated!)))

Hopefully the Essense coconut cream will fix that for you :)


i hope so, too. sigh. i'm getting so i have very low expectations! yet, i keep trying because someday i'm going to find the perrrrrfect tasting coconut:) if i weren't so picky about the flavor, this would be easier. but i don't want it if it doesn't taste like the real thing!

Did it help at all to add a couple drops of Coconut extract from the kitchen to the stuff you already have?
Or are they just so non-coconut to begin with, it didn't help?
(I've tossed all my icky coconut out after discovering Essense)

yes, it DOES help, BUT the Ms. T's flaves are just unsalvagable. I hung onto the freedomsmoke coconut and add a couple of drops to my travel bottle. it helps, but it's still not right. what i LOVE it for is to add the coconut flavor to the JC chocolate truffle. sort of tastes like a mounds bar:)

anyone ever ordered from totally wicked? they seem to be making an effort like jc and have a very interesting (albeit a little too COLORFUL) website and product selection.

Yep - once (a little pricey). I get emails all the time, but never look at them. Think they have a US locstion in FL although they are from the UK. I always thought of them as one of the 2 'really trying' organizations - the other being JC.
