Juices that need longer steeping?

[Angiebubs]

What VV juices have you found require steeping? How long?

For me, Black Cherry Marshmellow. I didnt get all the excitement about this till I tried it a month later than OMG nom nom

Also the coffee flavors get richer with a couple weeks steeping.

I think most of our flavors improve with steeping, and as you have observed, some take a little longer than others. Yeah, they are often good right out of the mail, but the steeping can certainly change "good" to "great"! I think all of the original Virgin line flavors should be uncapped for 24 - 48 hours to allow the alcohol to evaporate. A longer steep is usually good for the complex flavors like the Konas and the Black Cherry Marshmallow (which is in our top 5 bestsellers). The Absolutes don't need the uncapping method, but the flavor intensifies with steeping, even if it's just for a week or two. Annette has commented before that she occasionally comes across a bottle that's been steeping for 3 months, and it was like finding a buried treasure.

Short version is yes, it can take different steeping times for different flavors, and as the saying goes...it's subjective! You'll find what works best for you...and that is ALWAYS the best way!

Kitty already left you a great answer. I would just add that if you're using 100% VG, the need for steeping is greater as PG is a better flavor carrier than VG so 100% VG e-liquids need a bit longer to reach their full potential.

Very true. I have found that Plum Crazy, Celestial Honeydew, and Sweet butter cream mint are great fresh. The Konas, and black cherry marshmellow were ones that really improved with steeping. (Kind of like fine wine?)
