Hello all I'm new to vaping :)

[FulciLives]

Hello

Well I got my first c-cig or PV on December 31st, 2011 and I've not had an analog since.

I'm very happy

I got the KGO kit (after watching a ton of YOU TUBE videos trying to figure out just what to get) and so far I'm happy.

Haven't had much in the way of different juices but I got a bunch ordered and on the way.

Been reading the forum and tried to post in one place only to find I could only post here

Anyway I have a question about steeping. I see people saying to let some juices steep for a week or so before using. My question is ... what exacting is steeping? Do you just leave the bottle alone? Do you leave the top off so it can 'breath' or leave it closed up or what?

Thanks!

hello congrats on making the switch, some people leave the cap off, I don't I DIY so I just let it sit for a few weeks to let the flavors blend together

There are alot of different techniques us (vapors) have used. It doesn't work on all e-juice (meaning making the flavor better). Another member might be able to point you in the right direction for steeping. IMO if you like the vape, the taste, the throat hit, etc stick with what you like and try some new stuff in the process.

Happy vaping

Welcome! IMO, only hand mixed/made to order liquids need steeping.

So far I've had Dekang Desert Ship and my understanding is that it probably wouldn't benefit from steeping but I do find the flavor to be very very very mild. I'm not sure how much I like it, it seems okay tasting, just way too mild.

I did get a custom made French Vanilla Coffee that tasted just like it said but I like Vanilla but not French Vanilla Coffee. Not sure why I ordered it other than they had very little choice (the place I bought the KGO from) and I like Vanilla. Was only after I got it that I remebered I'm not a big French Vanilla Coffee fan lol

Anyway I do have some stuff ordered and on the way so I'm sure I'll find a juice I'm happy with but I'm really happy that I've not had an analog in 12 or so days now

I have noticed that most fruit flavors I have bought do not need to steep. Then there are some places that I have had to let sit for 2 weeks or longer before I could attempt to use them because they tasted chemically. I had one that I tried one morning, and even the vapor smelled like cleaning supplies-tried it the next night (so maybe 36 hours difference) and OMG I LOVED it! So keep that in mind.

Cat in the Brain that's awesome. Fulci is king.

Welcome.. I'm 'new' here too (although been browsing for a few months). See you around

And like someone said, I usually leave them 24-72 hrs if it smells chemically. Usually good to go after that.

Welcome to ECF and congrats on the KGO Kit. It a good one. As for steeping sometimes vapers buy a juice and it dosen't taste good. Take the top off and let it steep for a few taste and re taste. Use the atomizer to test juices.
Good Luck.

Welcome! I have been a long time lurker here, but just decided to give up the analogs also.

Good luck!

Ugh

My DeKang RY4 just came in and so far I'm not digging the flavor / taste of it. I'm so disappointed after hearing how much so many seem to like RY4 *sniff*

On a plus note I got 30ml of French Vanilla Tobacco (got both from MadVapes) and I'm loving it.

[evosil98]

Welcome and i also have a kgo. Its really a great pv.

 

[FulciLives]

Well after about 2 - 3 days my DeKang RY4 actually started to taste good. I guess it needed to age or steep some.

I'm actually diggin' it now heh
