Hi all!! New from TN. Hopiing to get some help.

[Lauralee 50]

Hi
I am a new to the forum but not Ecigs country girl. I am recently widowed and spend my time watching movies, quilting & crocheting. I have a business page on Etsy & Facebook. My children and Sugar Gliders are my world. I am just a simple, kind, caring country girl, who loves to take care of people and animals. Also love to cook, crochet, quilt, and sew. Hope to make new friends here and get some help on a few things also.

I was on here last week checking out what all were saying about great places to get E juice online. So after reading a while I bought; Banana Nut Bread, Jamaican Rum, Caramel Coffee, German Chocolate Beefcake, and Maple Pecan (NO EXTRA FLAVOR SHOTS) from Mt Baker Vapor.

My question is.... How long do you usually let them steep. They were made on OCT. 26, and I tried a couple of them this morning on the 31st. Neither had much taste at all. Really disappointed, I don't want to leave them a bad review till I find out if maybe I am trying too quick? Needed to get extra flavor shots? Or what the problem is.
I am using an Ego T 1100mAh with a smok Tech GBC 3Ml tank, with a 1.9ohm bottom coil, and a slotted Beauty Ring.

Any help on this will be soooo greatly appreciated, I have spent quite a bit of money and I am hoping it is just something I can do different to use them, rather than ditch them all and start over

Thanks so much and have a great day!!

Welcome Lauralee! I'm a big fan of Mt Baker. While some of their stuff is fine right out of the mailbox, I think the juices you have listed will probably take at least a couple of weeks to 'ripen'. Give 'em a good vigorous shaking a couple times a day. There are tricks to speed up the steeping process but I haven't personally tried them.

Hello and welcome to the forum Lauralee. Glad to have you here!

I can't help you with Mt Baker Vapor but I'm sure someone will come along who has some experience with their juice.

Welcome Lauralee

Give the juices a week or so.. Shake a little each day for a few days,, Most juices take some time to steep and the flavor will get better..

Post some pics of your Sugar Gliders when you can.

You can speed up steeping by placing the bottles in hot water for a few hours.. Not too hot.. I would put them in a baggie to keep the labels dry before you do this and then not boiling water but where steam is coming off the water.. shake again.. then let sit for a few days.. That will give them a good head start..

Welcome to ECF!

Yup, and tops off for a day or so in a dark and safe place - where pets and kids won't disturb them, or be tempted to play - for a some of that steeping time.

 

[doots]

And if you have a ultrasonic cleaner that is even better and will really speed up steeping.. Drop your bottles in the tub and let it do its things for about an hour.. then wait a couple of days.. other than that, time will take care of it for you. fresh made juice almost always takes a week to steep out. some tobaccos take a few weeks.

Hey Lauralee, glad you're here. If I open a new bottle of eliquid and I don't care for it right away, I'll put it back in my juice box (big, wooden cigar box) and let it sit a week or so. This is where it really pays to use dripping atomizers to test liquids before you fill a tank.

The only 2 out of the ones you ordered that we have tried are the German Chocolate Beefcake and the Maple Pecan. My daughter liked the German Chocolate Beefcake straight out of the mailbox, and we have reordered it a couple of times, and will get it again in the future. I have ordered the Maple Pecan several times, and really like it.

If you have other eliquids that you can use in the meantime, I would let them steep for a week or two, and then try them again. If you don't have anything else you can use, you can try speed steeping and see how that goes. I have never tried speed steeping, but I have seen quite a few posts where people have had success in bringing eliquids around to a point where the eliquids were quite vapable to them. Good luck.

 

[Lauralee 50]

Great!! Thanks so much!! I knew that I had read where enough of you use Mt Baker that surely there was some that would help. I do have some from my local vape shop that I have gotten to hold me over, just really excited about the new flavors. but if that is what it needs then I will wait a couple weeks. I will also try all that you all posted, shaking, open in the dark, and heating up a little. With all that, they should be great in a couple of weeks.
Again thanks so very much!!

Hi Lauralee
While I was using other liquids my Mount baker liquids were left for about a month and Ive tried some of them and they are good.
Another one I have only smelled did improve in smell over the month to smelling more like its name than it originally had.

 

[Lauralee 50]

Thanks so much. Are they any other E Juice suppliers that you can use right out of the mailbox? Or is this something that has to be done to all? I like the prices at Mt Baker and would love to find some more like that.

 

[Wolfenstark]

Only other one I know of with prices similar to Mt Baker is ITC vapes.
They have a thread = http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...um-without-outrageous-price-tag-itcvapes.html

 

[Lauralee 50]

Thanks so much, you ALL are GREAT!!

I order from Mt Baker too, I love their black licorice. Don't be afraid to try other vendors as well. You'll find a lot discussed on the General E-liquid board and right now, there's a vote going on for the all time favorites of the year. You'll see a lot of the same vendors mentioned, yet you'll also see some different tastes and ideas. You can review it here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/619139-best-ecf-2014-a.html.

Welcome Lauralee 50 from N. AL

As far as the MB goes for me if they did not taste good from the beginning they never really got any better. Not saying that is true for everybody just my personal experience.

 

[Wolfenstark]

True if theres a flavour you just don't like then it may stay that way but some seem to lets say deepen.

 

[Lauralee 50]

I use an Ego T 1100 with a SmokTech 3 ML tank with bottom coil. And they mostly tasted scorched, not really any flavor there. I have seen a lot of the members talking about drip tanks?? What are those and can they be used with my Ego T?? I don't know the difference, if there is one.

Local grocery stores have flavor extract in the spice area you can mix with Pharme grade VG (NOW Products) at your local Herb store for about $6 a 16oz bottle. Then just buy the Platinum Ice from Totally Wicked. Got my cost down to $1.50 to do 30ml.
