I'm trying out samples of ejuices. Why does the ejuice taste better on second day? I fill up kanger T3 with 3 mil and I smoke that til it's gone. Since this is only my second sample, it may be just a fluke.
Is it normal for ejuice to taste better second day?

It may be steeping a little bit. The DIY I make is vapeable the first day, but kind of harsh. By day five or so it's settled down, but my recipe is so simple and contains very basic flavors that tend to settle down fast anyway.
One thing to do with a juice you don't like is set it aside for a week or two, then try it again. In many cases, it smooths out and becomes much nicer.
Warranted, I've had a few that tasted like socks when I tried them. Post-steeping, they just got more sock-like.

Sure! Heating can change a flavor quite a bit, although some are more susceptible to that than others. Menthol and cinnamon seem pretty stable no matter what the temperature is (in reasonable range). Chocolates seem to change and deepen in flavor in heat.
Even with my standard mix (menthol, cinnamon, and just a tiny touch of chocolate), the end of the tank tastes slightly different than the beginning of it did. I like the wide mid-range (90% full to 10% full) best in terms of flavor.
If you were mixing liquids in your T3 (putting a new liquid in with a tiny touch of the old flavor still left in the tank) you could also be tasting the combinations. Sometimes those are great. Sometimes...socks.
What is happening is the juice in your tank is steeping faster because you have heated it up. Plus, if you have let the tank sit overnight, that is naturally going to get rid of whatever alcohol or water that is used in the mix to evaporate out. Essentially the flavors are marrying more rapidly because of the smaller quantity and the heat that was applied. Even though the heat of the atty are not in contact with the rest of the liquid, there is some heat getting to the rest just by proximity.
The juice that is in your bottle has had some time to steep further because you removed the cap even for just the little bit to fill up your T3. That allows fresh air in and the aids in the steeping process.
You have discovered why we steep
Happy vaping!!

You should steep your juice for a few weeks and notice how much better it will taste! Some of my juices taste good as is and dont require steeping. Its a personal preference so just find out what is good for your tastebuds.

Yes! I have been known to suggest taking a few vapes of a new juice in clearo and then come back to it the next day, to folk who are eager to try juices that need steeping. (Some of them need weeks). I use a Kanger T2, and always find the flavor of the juice improved on day 2 also.
I can add nothing to the words of wisdom of these two fine women (Robin and Hula). Nor can I eat an ice cream cone with the same impact as they.
so the vaping community calls it "steeping". i call it "acclimating" because i was a part of the hookah community for many years. i find that juice is essentially the same thing as hookah tobacco (PG/VG with flavouring except juice uses liquid nicotine while hookah tobacco uses real tobacco).
edit: wouldnt acclimating be a more correct term for what is actually going on in this process?

I usually say you need to let it sit out and let the chemical evapourate, lol
Steeping hmm... (Reminds me of tea)
Acclimating hmm... (Reminds me of bringing home fish for the kids)
What about Coalesence? (Process of rain)
or maybe Evapourating? (Where liquid disappears just vanishes)
interesting...

Not necessarily. Acclimating isn't inaccurate. Steeping is perhaps more accurate as it references extracting flavors from a substance into a liquid. What is really going on by letting your juice sit is infusing.

but you are not really extracting flavours in to a liquid. the flavours are already within the liquid.
the flavours are brought out when the juice stabilizes to the temperature of your smoking environment which is why i think acclimating would be more accurate.
