Hi,Im also a newbie! Ive tried a couple of vendors,and didnt care for the taste. I just posted my 1st thread on ECF tonight. I received some juice from The Vapor Room today. They recommend steeping for a few days. I couldnt wait to try.(I tried it as soon as I got it).and it is wonderful! I got Waffle,French Vanilla,keoke Coffee,gingerbread,and french vanilla coffee.Lots were samples that they send free with your order. Im amazed this stuff taste like the real thing. And its made in the USA. You will love this stuff.Good luck to ya

Just a thought......I know many vendors make up a batch "fresh" before shipping. However, once you get the fresh ejuice, you have to let it steep for up to a month. I would like it if they were already steeped and ready to go. Any good vendors pre-steep their juice?

You don't HAVE TO steep. Steeping is subjective, just as personal taste is. Many feel that tobacco juices benefit more from steeping than non tobacco juices do. I know some DIYers who wouldn't vape their own juice without steeping. Others begin vaping it as soon as it's mixed. In any case, I'm a DIYer, and I quick steep my juices. You can do the same with stuff you buy.
Fill a pot of water up to the level of the liquid in your bottle. Bring the water to a boil. Remove it from the heat. Set the juice bottle in the hot water, with the cap off. Leave it sit, until the water cools to room temp. Usually this takes about an hour. Consider it steeped.

What I do is buy juice ahead of time. I hate steeping, but some of my juices need it. I always have 30-60ml of KBV Gooey Better Cake steeping. Every week I order a new one or maybe two while I still have a full bottle not even used yet. I love it so much, and that's just what I have to do to get my favorite vape on.

I have bought from dozen of vendors and rarely had a juice that "needed" steeping. Some GOOD juices get BETTER steeped (mainly ones made with a combination of flavorings, especially hand-extracted flavorings). Some juices are overflavored (causes perfumey/flowery aroma) or have cream flavors (can cause the same aroma) and that aroma can be helped by steeping. But most of the over one hundred juices I have bought were just ones I liked right off or did not like the flavor of and none of the ones I did not like were helped by steeping. I think it is unlikely steeping will fix anything other than perfumey/flowery aroma.

On the other hand, I have fixed some juices by combining them with other juices to tone them down or sweeten or enhance their flavor.

If you think all of your juices need steeping then buy juices elsewhere, buy a new atomizer, or use cartomizers.

I find that steeping them brings out more flavor. But, if I don't like the flavor when I get it, generally I won't ever like it. I buy about 90% of what I use now from shopcoppercreek. Her juices are unbelievably good. The peach is magnificent right out of the mail, and taste even better a week later. Same with the passion fruit. It has taken me a year to find about 6 flavors that I vape!! Good luck finding yours! The great thing is that most places sale sample packs, so you can try a lot for a little money. Also be sure and check the classifieds.......lots of people selling juice there real inexpensively. :)

I have found that the VG juices that I have bought benefited from steeping more than the PG juices I do not know if the base makes the difference or if it was the particular flavors.

Probably. Although I don't use a lot of VG (I do use some) but even my feeble attempts at DIY juices taste better after a few days. Or even worse after a few days. :laugh: Maybe the flavors have to marinate a bit.

The only juice I've seen that NEED steeping are the ones from Halo. Torque 56 and Truepure tasted like soap when I first got them. A week later they were both GREAT. Why? I dunno. I've liked or hated everything else right out of the mailbox.

I agree with you on that one. I hated it the first time I tried it and threw it in my reject box. Could have been my taste buds or the juice got better but I actually liked it a lot the next time I tried it. I could kick myself because I gave most of it away.
