Interesting Flavor Variation?

[VirtualJunky]

So I'm still new to the whole vaping thing here, everything I own related currently is all from Halo. One of the first flavors I got was by Halo, called Twisted Java, I blew through that thing, just got the little 7ml bottle with 18mg/ml nicotine to get started and see if I liked it.

I bought a 30ml bottle, just got it today, went with 12mg/ml nicotine this time. My first little 7ml bottle had a very strong taste, and honestly was delicious, however with this new 30ml bottle it is way low-key, I don't want to say flavorless, but damn near. What's weird is that it still has a strong smell, but the taste is just not there, at least compared to my last bottle.

So few questions..is this because it's 30ml? Or could it be because it's newer then my last one? I've seen some stuff about steeping, haven't read to much into it because up until now everything I've tried I liked a good amount. Does the nicotine difference change taste? If anything I thought it would have more taste having less nicotine in it.

On the topic of steeping though, what exactly is that all about? I've seen it two ways, one you just let it sit in the bottle for a few weeks and don't mess with it, the other was take the lid off it for 2 weeks, but shake it once a day. What is the 'correct' way?

Thanks for any help provided on this, sort of interesting to me.

juice does taste different fresh and steeped....I have found that unless the juice has a strong smell of alcohol there is no need for the top off process....I steep by keeping the bottles in a box in the closet and taking them down and giving them a good shake once per day. I do not know the particular juice you have but I have found with the Halo juices I have tried they do benefit from a week to 10 days of steeping

Thanks for the info. So keep the lid on, just let it sit for a few days, and shake once per day? Another thing I thought about was the fact this one came in a glass bottle, where as my last came in a plastic one. Glass tends to stay cooler then plastic at room temp, that could effect it as well correct?

Could be vapers tongue and not getting enough fluids. I know after vaping a single flavor allot you get a little desensitized to the flavor. Or could be the batch you got, I've only tried a 7ml of twisted Java myself.

the glass bottles are better in my opinion....and as StarDose stated you do need to drink more when vapeing...and personally suggest 3 different vapes in rotation at all times....sometimes I have 6-8 tanks ready to go

I lost the cap to my first 30ml bottle, not the fill tip just the actual cap. I noticed as time went on the flavor changed a little for the better. either that or my tongue was healing

The water thing might be it, I was drinking a lot of water because the medication I was taking made me super thirsty, but now I haven't been drinking as much. I will try adding a bit more rotation to the flavors and drinking more water. Thanks everyone for the tips.
