So I have been ordering from a certain online place for a few months now regularly every two weeks and have been ordering the small 10mL bottles just trying out different flavors and such. Recently i have found 2 that i really like and wanted to get the larger 30mL size. These come in a glass bottle with a dropper instead of the smaller plastic bottles. I have noticed with both of these juices that the flavor just isn't there like it was in the smaller bottles. I thought it was just me but as soon as i go back to a smaller bottle juice the flavor is great. It seems like it's just dulled down from before. I figured I'd let them steep for awhile and have been checking them every so often and after 2 weeks on one flavor and almost 4 on the other they still are missing that strong flavor they had in the smaller order. One has lime and strawberry in it and is kind of tart and the other has blueberry and vanilla and is very sweet. One is light colored and the other dark, very opposite of each other. Is this common in larger orders, is there something more i should be doing other then shaking them to death? I really enjoy these and would like not to have to resort back to buying the smaller bottles every time since they are a few dollars more then most places. Anyone ever experienced this and has some advice for me? Thanks!

I should also mention both are a 50/50 blend. Will increasing either pg or vg on the larger bottles help? If so what's a good mix for flavor?
I've noticed with some companies and blends, the color difference and change took a long time. And the color change can happen because of oxidation of the nicotine, or just aging. If you for 10ml is dark and you keep them I a dark cool space, the it is the steeping that made it change color. It may take a larger bottle long to steep and blend. Continue to shake it once a while, it may take up to four weeks. Don't I had a 240ml bottle that took two months to steep properly with occasional shaking.
After a couple weeks the color changed to the dark yellow and purple that the smaller bottles always changed to. I'll have to order the smaller bottles if it takes that long for the flavor to come out
Or just or some small bottles to hold you over till the big bottles are ready, and always make sure you have a couple steeping so you have one or two that are ready as you run low.
The larger the bottle, the longer time the juice must 'steep'. Why this is so is beyond my ken - but there ya go.
Your best bet is to order your favorites at least 2 bottles so that one can always be deep steeping while you enjoy the other.
