I haven't had a bottle long enough to taste it steeped lol. I like it fresh.Ooo, I will have to try that soon! I've had a 30mil. bottle steeping for a while, so it should be good to go now. So far, I'm digging all of the CN that I've tried out of the sample pack, aside from the fruits. I'm learning I'm not a really big fruit vape fan, but they are still good/vapeable, so they won't go to waste.
