How far ahead do you buy your juice?

[AthensGa]

I'm trying to get a little stockpile going of juices. I'm currently figuring out how much I go through in a day, so I can get about a month ahead of what I need so that the juices can steep before I use them.

I'm thinking a box of "currently in use" juice, one steeping and one that's just been purchased. In theory that would give each bottle a month steep time if the steeping box had a months supply in it.

I don't want to get crazy with storing juices, but I also want to be able to not worry about what bottles need more time and what's good to go.

Right now I'm buying from The Vapor Room and trying to stick with their weekly sales. I might have to switch to a 4 month system since by my figures (and math is not my strong suit) they probably do a 4 month sale rotation on their flavors. I've created a spreadsheet (yeah I'm a geek) to keep track of how much I use and how often things go on sale (ok I'm a frugal geek,) but being new I'm basically at the very beginning of figuring things out.

juice is generally accepted to last for at least a year. Use it in nine months max and you're safe. That gives you a lot of room for planning.

I steep some juice for an hour and some for a month. I've never found any that take longer than that. Typically the fruit flavors don't need much. The complex flavors need more time. Tobaccos are in the later group.

IMO taste testing juice is a good plan. Taste it when it comes in and if you like it, vape it. You'll see how it changes over time. If you don't like it, steep it and check it again later. It's all about what works for you. There is no right or wrong here

I have at least 6 month worth of DIY in stock, maybe more I guess, 200ml of 36mg and about 50ml of 24mg nic should last me a really long time bc I vape only 6mg.

I do an order every pay day now that I just started. That way I have more then enough. And give it time to steep.

a few days in advance. Athens but I've had to make a run to Vaperite in Atlanta a few times (cutting it close)

I keep a few 30ml bottles of my favorites on hand at all times.... other that I want to try I'll order as they catch my eye.

We order ours at least a week and a half before we are halfway through what we are using. That way, by the time we get it, it will have a chance to sit for about a week, with some flavors being able to sit for longer.
Oh, and VaporGod has a 30% sale on their ejuice through the 28th. If you are a menthol fan, their Arctic Wolf is not to be missed.

Not far enough.

Panic attack in... 3....2....

I probably have 90ml of my adv on hand right now. Enough to last 3 weeks, every pay day ill buy another bottle.

I buy 6 bottles at a time usually. One 30ml bottle lasts me 2 weeks. When I open my last bottle, I order 6 more. The order comes in a full week before the bottle runs out.

I'm still in the research phase - finding juices I like, so I really hesitate to buy more than 5 or 6ml of any one thing - so I don't have much of a stockpile of anything yet.

This is what I do too ... Although if there is a GOOD sale, I might buy a small stockpile of stuff I like and a few to try.

Almost exactly what it sounds like.

Letting your juice sit so the flavors have a chance to mingle/combine, etc...

You ever notice how chili always tastes better the next day?

Same idea.

Even a day or two usually makes a difference - but some people do it for weeks or months (on purpose).

Some people shake, soak in hot water, open them up...

I order 180ml of my daily eliquid once a month. Of course, throughout the month, while looking at vaping sites, I usually place several small orders to try new juices that sound interesting. But, my ADV I always keep plenty on hand. By the time I open my last 60ml bottle its usually payday and time to place my next 180ml order.

Everything you wanted to know about steeping blog by dannyv45 is great info.

I am also new and still experimenting. Just recently ordered my first 15ml size bottles of juice I've liked so I always have something I like on hand while I try to find that elusive all day vape

I have 2 flavors that I alternate as my daily vapes, and I've yet to run out of either in the (almost) 3 weeks I've been vaping. Since I use <10ml per week, I'll probably place an order for more when I get down to 15-20ml combined.

I enjoy trying new flavors, so I also have a stockpile of flavors that I like, but don't love. If it ever came down to it, I could smoke those if my order was late.

I have enough base to make another 600 ml of juice. Usually whip up 100-150ml at a time. About ready to buy some more, will get a gallon of VG, 500 ml of 100mg nic base and 500 ml of PG. That should get me into 2015, hopefully. lol. Will probably still need to get some extracts though.

Where do you buy your supplies?
