I'm one of those who can taste the alcohol and Annette is right--just leave the cap off for a night and it evaporates away. 
I ordered the ECO Virgin Kona Velvet Milkshake about a month ago. I have to admit, I was really pretty disappointed in it initially considering how highly regarded the reviews were. I put the bottle away for a couple of weeks and decided to try it again. OMG. The 2 week steep time really transformed the flavor into a very satisfying, complex flavor that has become a co-favorite all-day vape along with my Amaretto Coffee with Cream vape. Just ordered a 1 once bottle this time.
That is true of most of her juices. They just seem to bloom with flavor after a few weeks' steeping.
Helen and I have been trying to figure out a way to pre-make some of the flavors so they are already steeped. We are thinking maybe if the 100% VG e-liquids were premade, at least in the most popular flavors, that might work since the majority of orders are for VG. The longer I've been vaping, the more committed to steeping I've become. It really makes a difference!
Annette, any idea when you will be able to offer Kona Coffee Milkshake again?
Love the name and the photo, Baditude! I'll check on this again tomorrow and post an update!
Annette, I love the ECO Virgin Kona Velvet Milkshake!!! I kept my hands off of it for 2 weeks...and now I can't keep my hands off of it. So creamy and delish! 
I'm so happy you're enjoying it, HollieH!Annette, I love the ECO Virgin Kona Velvet Milkshake!!! I kept my hands off of it for 2 weeks...and now I can't keep my hands off of it. So creamy and delish!
After receiving my first order, I have always let my VV juices steep a minimum of 4 weeks before use, allowing the flavors to really blend and meld together. The Plum, Shell Shocked & Coffee Monkey really need 6 weeks to fully Blossom but it is worth the wait.
I haven't tried any Florals but I've enjoyed the Blueberry, Watermelon, Strawberry and Plum, it's like actually tasting the juice of these fruits. I'm finishing up my Plum and have the Fig on deck, I'm looking forward to this since the Figs my Grandfather grew were my favorite Fruit.
BTW, I think the Kona Coffee has been my Favorite so far, steeping the Velvet Milkshake & Carmel Milkshake, should be ready in 3 more weeks.
Have you tried the Kona Velvet without steeping? I may be the only one but I have never thought that one needs steeping- I love that juice and it's my must have.
No I haven't, though it's crossed my mind to test a vape or two, I've done it with the Kona Coffee Milkshake, Coffee Monkey, Plum and Shell Shocked. With the exception of the KCM, found them to be on the harsh side with an alcohol aftertaste.
Since than I've just made it a practice to steep a minimum of 4 weeks, this allowed all those I've mentioned to meld together and give them a rich deep flavor.

I bought some Precious Pecan Pie at Christmas and didn't care for it much. I pulled it out yesterday and filled a fresh carto with it and oh, it is so good now!
I notice her website says this flavor is now steeped at least two weeks before shipping. Maybe that's why?
Well I have to admit that I haven't been impressed by kona coffee at first. I don't know why but during the first two weeks it felt like if there was too much alcohol on it (don't ask me why, I don't even understand). After almost 3 month of steeping I reopened the bottle and I'm vaping it right now : it's DELICIOUS. I love it and will order in larger quantity in order to have enough juice once well steeped.
Aliens, you can also try steeping for a couple days with the caps off to let any alcohol taste evaporate. The flavors for the Virgin Vapor line come in a base that includes organic ethyl alcohol and leaving off the caps allows it to evaporate.
I know I already tried that but strangely it didn't work for me, and I don't really know why. Next time I'll order a bigger bottle of kcm and I'll do some other testing.
Annette, I gotta ask. Any updates on when you'll be able to offer the Kona Coffee Mlksk?
The Kona Velvet variety has become the favorite in my daily rotation. I think I've ordered a 30 ml bottle for each of the last 3 months. It's so incredibly smooth, complex, and creamy.

Baditude, I've got gallons if it sitting in my e-liquid kitchen just waiting... One of the components needed to age and I've been, of course, checking it religiously. It's turned the corner and is mellowing out just right but isn't quite there. I'll make up a tester probably this weekend to see how close it is. Based on smell, I'd say it needs a couple more weeks but it's definitely closing in fast!
