how important is nicotine to steeping/ flavor development?

[dielonnn]

Okay so I am curious as to how much of a differance nicotine makes when it comes to steeping, in terms of making a flavor develop or taste better.

I notice the more nicotine the darker the juice will be the longer it steeps, however I doubt this has little if anything to do with the actual flavor ( I could be wrong though)

Another big question is if nicotine does devolope the flavor does this mean 0 nic juice will not taste as good as say a 18mg nic juice. This is the question im the most interested in

So I bought the same flavor at 3 different nicotine level 0 nic 11 nic and 18 nic and im guna be doing my own little experiment.

Im verrry interested in hearing your guys experience with this

I started a thread a few months ago calling in to question the validity of steeping. Bottom line is 4 months later I've learned the importance of giving juice time to mature.

Did the juices you learned that with have high low or no nicotine content?

some juice is good to go right out of the bottle. some need time to settle into a more homogeneous blend. steeping as it is referred to here is a process of letting the air settle out. when you open your box of corn flakes did you ever wonder why the box is 3/4 full? its filled full at the factory but,the contents settle after time.when you shake up a bottle of juice you will notice all the little bubbles rising to the top. when the bubbles are gone that doesn't mean all the air is gone.some juices take more time to settle than others.its a matter of experimenting a little to see what works for you and,the juice your using.as far as nicotine level is concerned it depends on the users taste.there would be a difference from 0 nic to 18 nic but,the difference depends on flavor,PG/VG mix and a persons taste buds.

12-18mg. Naturally extracted tobaccos, which I use almost exclusively, require the most time. Some are good right out of the mail, others didn't reach peak flavor for 2 months. Most though do well with just a week or so.

The big reason knowing this is important to me is bc 1 of my local vape shops adds the nicotine to the juice as you tell them what amount and flavor you want

So they have all there flavored juices in big bottles and say I tell em I want a carmel 10ml in 6mg nic they take the big bottle of 0 nic carmel and put it in a chine that adds the proper amount of nic to the amount of juice you want.

So what im wondering is does the steeping process not start until the nicotine is added or has it already been steeping for however long that big bottle of the juice has been sitting g on their shelf
