I've been vaping for about a month and a half and can't seem to build up a stash large enough to let some of it steep. I am ordering mostly samples in either 3 ml or 5 ml. Naturally, since they probably need to steep, I'm not getting much enjoyment out of my flavors. By the time I figure out the juice isn't too bad, it's almost gone and I have to order right away. Meanwhile, the new order arrives and I have to vape it right away because I don't have enough juice. How can I acquire enough to let some of it steep without wasting too much money on flavors I might not like?

Are there any juices out there that I don't have to steep?

Depending on the types you like, Halo juice is perfect right out of the mailbox. No need to steep. Also Vaporheads has some delicious flavors that dont really need steeping. Awesome Vapor is another one. Halo has a samplker pack but they are all tobaccoy flavors and menthol. Vaporheads only offers 10ml sizes and Awesome Vapor has a custom 10 pack of 3ml sample packs. As for other suppliers, I have tried a few and am in the process of steeping them to see if there are any changes

Most of the juices I get from FreedomSmokeUSA don't have to steep. I have vaped them all when I opened the package from USPS. Now, some of them get better with age, but they were great from the start.

I like the suggestion about getting sample sizes, picking the ones you like and ordering a larger bottle where you can "borrow" from as it steeps. Velvet Vapors has 5 bottle sample packs (choose 3, 6 or 10ml sizes). You can also choose PG/VG blend, and nic level for each flavor. Her velvet vanilla, butterscotch and french vanilla latte are my faves (vaping the Fr. Van. Latte now). These don't need to steep, although they just get better with a little age (2 days - a week).

DIY mixing will allow you to skip all the hassle. If you don't want to wait for something to steep, then mix it stronger and nuke it for a couple of seconds.

Flavor definately develops better if you steep, but you can shortcut the process. Once a strong flavor bottle steeps though, it can really blow your tastebuds.

You don't get carried away, lol. Just heat it up so it mixes faster. You notice the same effect when vaping with a tank of some sorts, Like a MAP tank. The juice darkens and steeps really fast in the tank. Flavor just gets better and better as the heat from the coil cooks the juice, and some of the juice recycles back in.

Get some juice from MadVapes.....cheaper than you are paying, I'm sure......Get 50 ml. for 10.95

30ml is the perfect sampling size but costs more especially if you don't like the flavor. However, there is always the classys and 30ml is easier to sell.

Maybe Rah can buy juice from classys like you say.....tons of juice there that has not sold....even there it is more costly than MadVapes (he-he)

I quit buying 3 and 5 ml sizes because they're just too small. To sample I buy 10 or 15 ml sizes. If I like it after that much I'll buy a 30 ml bottle or 2. If I can still stand it after that long I'll order away, like 100 to 200 ml at a shot. Very few make it that far. I've got a stash that looks more like an e-juice store though.

Me too....buy 100 to 200 ml. at a time.....maybe Rah has a juice he/she likes, just buy 30,50 100 ml. of that while trying sample bottles of juice ....that way, no problem of running low on juice while sampling others....

My stash just kind of happened. I started with some and then one day it had just grown out of control in the cabinet. I don't know how that happened.....well, that's my story and I am sticking to it :)

Stick with it......me too....I have alot of juice, but since I only vape three flavors, all my juice is just my favorites.....no juice is just "stored" from lack of use.....have no hankerin' to look for new flavors......guess I am happy with these (have used them for over 6 months now)

It's easy once you figure out how many ml you avg using a day and round up for ordering purposes. For example I've never went over 3ml a day and sometimes under 2ml. For ordering purposes I error on the side of caution and call it 4ml a day which 124ml per month. I keep track of how much I've ordered on a monthly basis and make sure it's at least 124ml per within that period. After I figured out my rate during my first month I ordered 250ml within that period which gave me 1 month supply and 1 month for steeping. After that at least 124ml in a 30 day period maintains it and I'm always at least 1 month ahead in my supply.

If I trade, give away or sell any liquid I just add that total to my next 30 day supply to order. You'll build up a stash in no time.
