Hey!

My wife and I ordered some flavors from vaporbomb and we were reading that a lot of them have to steep "for a while"

Just wondering how long?

We have 555, peach, virginia, max ult, desert ship, blueberry waffle, bubblegum, hypnotic mist, royal and grape

Yeah, we went on a splurge :p

So, how long for these flavors to steep, you think? I'm guessing some have to steep longer than others...

Thanks!

I might be able to help you out a bit:

These flavors are OK right outta the envelope:
Peach, Hypnotic Mist, Grape, 555.

These flavors need ***AT LEAST*** a week to steep up before they can be optimally experienced:
Blueberry Waffle (or any Waffle combo), any tobacco flavor (Max, 555, Virginia), and the Bubblegum.

As for the others, I don't have any experience with them, so I'm not much help in that department. In any case, it's how it tastes to *you* that matters. The 0smitty Method of juice-sampling works as follows:

juice arrives-> I throw a few drops into something to try it-> If I like it as-is, I'll keep vaping it.
"" -> "" ->If I don't like it, I'll fuhgeddaboudit until I wanna revisit it, usually a month or so down the road.

Here's a couple "just makes sense" tips:

- If you know that the juice you've ordered is a combination of a couple different flavors, it's gonna need some time to sit and marinade. Since the juice is fresh, the ingredients tend to want a little time to mix together and mature, similar to ripening bananas. And speaking of bananas, the VB Banana is just like the fruit: give it a few days to ripen. :)

- The ones that are at their best first-thing out of the envelope are gonna be the ones you will want to burn through first. It has been my experience that juices such as Green Apple and CinnaBomb taste their best within 1-2 months after they arrive. I honestly don't understand the phenomenon, however it seems that these two flavors tend to "spoil" after 3-4 months of spared use: my guess is that if someone didn't crack the seal on the bottles, they'd be just fine indefinitely...I think it's exposure/introduction of air into the juice bottle that causes this, which is what happens every single time you squeeze out a few drops and release pressure on the bottle. I might be wrong, but this is just a little food for thought.

- Any "specialty flavor" is going to need some time.

Peach is ready to go, but it does develop to be a stronger flavor. It's basically my favorite flavor :vapor:

Grape is also ready, and it's pretty strong from the start.

:)

I am excited to hear that as I just ordered those two flavors the other day (should be getting them today). I had to do an "emergency" nicotine drop (from 18mg to 12mg and lower) so I chose those two (Peach in 8 and Grape in 4)...I also have Fire and Ice (0 nic) and Blackberry (0 Nic)...does anyone know about these two flavors? I'm assuming blackberry will be good to go.

Blackberry is a very mellow flavor, but it's ready to go as far as taste. But I get my flavors at 18mg nicotine, so I'm not exactly sure. Fire and Ice may have to steep, but I don't exactly know. My friend has it and she said it was good to go from the get-go, but hers is in 18mg also. :)

Yeah blackberry was very mellow...going to let it steep. I got Raspberry in 0MG nic and it was really good (I ended up mixing it with a sample of VB's cocunut I got in my last order and the combo was really tasty). Peach was really mellow as well and I hope the flavor gets stronger but so far it was a really authentic flavor...more like the real thing than a Jolly Rancher.

Fire and Ice I didn't care for. It's sitting in my drawer away from my other flavors. It was all fire and not much ice. I'll try it again later.

They threw in a Pecan Roll in 0 nic and it was pretty tasty from the get go and if it gets better as time goes on I'm in store for one tasty vape!
 
I had to bust into my bug out bag to snag up my last ounce of cinnabomb and let me tell you - steeping for 4 months in an alice pack brings it to a level of potency unimaginable. God bless finely aged cinnabomb, it was beautiful.

Nice!!! Now you got to restock your bag...need to be ready for Z-day:laugh:
