Tribeca is my all day as well. I got a few juices in a sample pack, smelled them all, and when I smelt tribeca, I literally said OMG, this is gonna rock. And it did of course. I currently have BB casablanca and backo that I got yesterday. I tried to smell them, but didn't get much. I'm afraid I won't love them like I want to if they don't steep, which is all I hear about with BB juices. Has anyone vaped BB juice straight out of the gate? I'm wondering how much steeping is needed, if at all.
With halo tribeca, I vape it almost right away and it tastes pretty much the same 2 weeks later, so no steeping with halo it seems (to me at least).
I got some backo a few weeks back that was made on the 6th, and I got it on the 8th. I proceeded to try it out the day I got it, was pretty much like vaping a diet lemon drink mixed with some extra strange chemicals. Very citrusy weird funk taste to it and was nothing like any other tobacco flavored juice I have tried (calling this a tobacco flavor juice would be the last thing I would ever call it)
I have been periodically shaking and checking it over the last week and a half or so as it steeps, far as I can tell the citrus part of it seems to be toned back a little, but I can still smell it. Still debating whether or not I should steep it more, or risk wasting another carto with juice I am not going to like.
The problem is now I have a bias to what it tastes like, and my taste memory is very distinct and I never forget a smell or taste. If I didn't like it before, even the most remote part of that smell or taste showing up again will absolutely ruin it for me.
So from now on I think I am always going to wait a few weeks with any USA made-to-order juice, that way I don't develop a bias to the taste pallet before the juice can get 'better' with steeping (still doubtful about the steeping process though, and whether or not it really does anything at all).
If steeping it typically required, would be nice if they offered pre-steeped juice for a slightly higher price. I realize these small-time vendors can't risk making tons of juice in every PG/VG ratio and nic level due to the potential for having leftovers that don't sell or get too old. But it may be worth looking into for a third-party company to buy a bunch of juice from various vendors, steep them, and sell them as pre-steeped. Would be a interesting business proposition for somebody willing and able to try it out. As the market for people not wanting to wait several weeks or months for a juice to 'perfect' might be higher than anybody could imagine.
