How to properly steep my liquids?

[Brandon Rauls]

Alright, so I got these e-liquids today, all 3 MG Nicotine on all but one, Starburst has 0 Nic, all are 90 VG, 10 PG, picture of them below.



I was wondering how to properly steep these and breathe them properly, especially since I can't take the nipple off without ruining the whole bottle (tried with an empty e-liquid bottle and the nipple wouldn't go back on, period. essentially a broken plastic bottle.)

I put them in a dark room, shake them once a day, and let them go back to sleep for a week before I use them. I used to do heat steep but I found some ejuice do become better with aging.

If your ejuice dont have alcohol content, you don't really need much breathing. For fruity flavor, you don't want to breathe since they can easily evaporate and therefore reduce the flavor. For ejuice that have alcohol content, one to 2 hours should be enough. For the rest, I only open the bottles and close them quickly before shaking them everyday.

Do I put them in a dark room with the caps on? Or take them off?
Also all of my juices are fruity ones, so probably keep the cap on?

I'm not sure why you can't get the nipple off the bottle without damaging it. I have the exact same bottles, 3 of them to be exact that I've been refilling from my 128ml bottles for close to a year. Is the maker (mixer) gluing them on somehow? They come in a giant box without the nipples or tops which are packaged separately then once labeled and filled the maker (mixer) snaps the nipple on and screws the top on.

I'm not sure to be honest with you, but I have taken the nipple off of an empty e-liquid bottle, and getting it back on there was impossible, it just wouldn't happen, and I messed with it trying to get it back on for close to 20-30 minutes. Maybe I did something wrong, I'll try it on another empty bottle once I can, because perhaps I did do something wrong.

Yes, keep them on. Taking them off is breathing and your ejuice will lose flavor. If you find them still harsh to vape after a week of steeping, they may have alcohol in them so leave the cap off for a couple hours to let the alcohol evaporate.

Brandon Rauls,
what flavors did you get besides the starburst ?

 

[Brandon Rauls]

I got Grape Soda, Starburst, Tangerine, and Raspberry Blast

 

[sparkky1]

Have you vapped any of them ?

 

[Brandon Rauls]

I'm vaping Starburst as I type this, and it is AMAZING! lol, but the others I've only tried at my local vape shop, waiting for those to steep before vaping them.

Your candies and fruit should be good to go after a couple days made, don't know if they made them for you or they were on the shelf.They really don't need any breathing.
If your getting a bakery juice freshly made they will need to sit for at least 2 weeks by the 3rd they will be good and those are really the only ones I take the tip off for 2 hours with 1 minute good shake twice a week, shake once a day.
Might try a butter knife to get the tips off.

Yea they make all the juices there, I don't really like the Cutwood juices they have already made on the shelf, tried all of them, not my thing, but the ones I have and get they make in the store as you order them, it's really nice, the owner is actually in the process of making a Crunch Berry liquid and I can't wait!

 

[sparkky1]

Awesome, so the object is to have enough to be steeping in a drawer and others ready to vape....

Sweet, thank you man!
