Just received a bunch of Mount Baker juice & need steep tips

[fishwater]

I just received 10 different flavors from mount baker & need to steep them but I've never steeped before. What's the best method? I've read a few different ways so I know the basics but since I've never ordered from them I figured I'd ask in case there are any tips or tricks.

Put the ejuice in a dark place for a week or a month if you have patience, ocasinally shake them a few times a day, if you let them breath make sure its less than an hour or else they will lose some flavour.

The longer they steep, the better the flavour will be, I heard some people steep tobaco flavours for months same with custards, fruit flavours are usally good right out the bottle no steeping needed.

As above.

Some flavors don't need to be steeped at all. Simple flavors (a single fruit) won't need it.Try them when you receive them. If not what you expected, steep them.

Complex flavors (multiple flavors in one), coffee, or tobacco flavors generally taste better if allowed to steep.

I simply let the top off the bottle open for a few hours (to allow any alcohol base to evaporate) and then replace. Allow it to "mature" for a week or two, occassionally shaking the bottle if I think about it.

Hawk sauce I vape straight out of the mailbox. Moo Juice sits in my closet for a minimum of 2 weeks. Everything else I have had from them (10+ flavors) has usually steeped for about a week and been fine. I just open the top cap and remove the dropper tip for a day or so then cap it back up and let it sit in the closet. I'll shake it once or twice every now and then. But really it's up to you. I have a friend who doesn't steep Mount Baker and he's fine with it. Also remember, higher VG and adding flavor shots generally mean longer steep time.

TL;DR
try it out of the mailbox, if it doesn't taste right, put it in the closet for a week or two.

I usually don't do anything with mine either.

I've tried some right away & only liked one out of the five so I'm hoping they get better as they steep or I may have wasted a little money, oh well.

Anything with custard/cream/milk flavor needs to age. Throw em in a drawer for a few weeks and they'll be alright. Some say to let them breath, but I don't do that.


If you are new to this, may I suggest building up an arsenal of juice so everything has time to age and then start a rotation. The juice I order today probably won't get vaped for another 2-3 months. I'm currently vaping some stuff that I ordered back in August.

I do this. I'm currently vaping September's purchases. Just build up an
arsenal. Most of MBV juice I let age at least 2 months regardless of flavor/ratio.

All great suggestions, thank you. That's what I'm doing now, I'll let this age for a while & get some other juices in rotation.

Which juices did you order? Some of them are good out of the mailbox, some are okay and get better, some are horrible and then get good, and some just won't get any better.

My experience with Mt Baker was it didn't seem to matter how long it sat, I wasn't a fan.

They have something like 200+ flavors. I have tried probably 30 so far. There are 3 that I love and continue to reorder(Rob, Spurburry, and Freckled Lemonade), a couple more that I like and may reorder, and at least 20 that I didn't like at all. I find it hard to believe that someone couldn't find SOMETHING that they like from MBV, but finding it might be difficult.

You're right, maybe I'm to harsh, but I tried 4 flavors that were variations of flavors I liked from other companies. They were downright awful. That first experience just turned me off from them altogether.

Which is completely understandable. In my opinion, they do some flavor profiles well, others not so well. A lot has to do with where you are in your vaping journey too, and what equipment you're using. I really liked their ecto cooler when I was using a protank, I tried it again after I switched to 20w dripping and it's just way too much flavor for me.

I agree and love the fruit flavours. The nutty ones are sweet right out of the bottle also. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee I let steep at least a week and prefer two weeks if I can wait.

I do not use tobacco any more but all that I tried did take two weeks or more to get that rich full taste.
