Thank you very much for your assistance Fergie! The biggest challenge there was trying to get a picture as small as 5kb or 150X150.

Well we all make mistakes right? BWB doesn't make watermelon and that photo is not of you, so we are even! Entirely unrelated post alert - Who is that in the photo anyway? Looks like Fergie from Blackeyed Peas.

BWB makes watermelon. I have a bottle right in front of me.

Not a flame at all, but I absolutely disagree. I bought some ejoker months ago. Tried it new, hated it. Tried it several more times every few days, and it was clearly changing, but still not pleasant. I was ready to go make it available at the bwb swap page, but decided to try it one last time, right around a month after it was born. And it was the most awesome juice i'd ever tasted. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I ordered a replacement bottle. When it arrived, I had only 1-2ml left in my 1st delicious bottle. I did my best to make it last, but I failed. Approximately 2 weeks after my 2nd bottle was born, I gave it a shot. No. absolutely not ready. The same icky flavor I remembered that made me want to swap the 1st bottle was back. And as of today, that bottle is 22 days old. I tried it last night, and although it's not as tasty as it was near the end of my 1st bottle, it is close enough for me to vape it. This is proof enough to for me.

Taste is Very subjective. Also the phrase “Perception is Reality” comes to mind.

Maybe the is a Significant change in taste of some e-Liquids for some people after 6 or 7 days. Maybe because people Want there to be a change that there is. Or maybe it is the Oxidation of the Nicotine or Plasticizers leaching into the e-Liquids. Who is really to say.

I just don’t see any real change to e-Liquids stored in Glass bottle past a week. But if something works for someone that I say stick with it.

BTW – I never liked the term "Steeping".

I equate it to heating something for a short period of time. I guess that sometimes a phrase is used and it just catches on. Regardless of the fact that the term may or may not be meaningful. And the more people that use the phrase the more it becomes ingrain in the collective belief.

Kinda like an Urban Myth does.

It's also entirely possible that juice made with many flavorings will change as all that stuff melds together over time. As everyone's tastes are different, we all will prefer it at varying age ranging from mailbox to months lol.

This is likely why many simpler recipes are ready sooner(I believe any juice needs a few days). Lucky for me Canadian shipping takes 6 days, perfect, though all my juice is simpler tobacco recipes, I expect the more complex ones like Casa and the 555s to change - that's not to say "ready" or not, just melding going on over time, and I like everyone else will have my "perfect" age for each.

Though I likely won't care enough to wait.

cheers

I have been vaping some 6-8 week old ejoker and loving it, even though I couldn't stand the stuff until it was a month old. My old bottle is nearly empty, so I dripped a few drops of 2week old on my atty already in use with the good stuff. Ungood. It just needs more time. I suppose I'll have to hold back for the next 2 weeks. But, boy, watch out. This stuff just turns into something special.

My Ejoker is a month old. Think I'll bring it out again to check on any changes.
