No, because then I would have to say I have a Personal Electronic Nicotine Inhalation System, or P.E.N.I.S in my mouth all day. I'm just trying to get the wife to do it once in a while but it's like trying to give the dog medicine..you have to put a collar on her, you have to hold her down, show her a treat or a new toy but she eventually squirms away. No way, she is not going to vape no matter what I say.
Thats the cool thing about vaping its so knew people get to make up vaping vocabulary as we go. Sorry you dont get to change it once it sticks. Its a MOD! We steep our juice. We use to smoke analogs so on and so fourth. Vaping isn't a word ether. Steeping sounds refined like an English noble steeping their tea. I like that.
Aging sounds like some yuppie in Napa Valley. Ill stick with steeping my juice and who ever dont like it can age theirs;-)

I don't age. I steep.
I get better with time, sitting in a cool, dark cupboard....lol
Actually, that sounds more like I'm a vampire.

The juice was probably mixed a few weeks before I ordered it, and then it took about 2 weeks for it to get to my door step. The juice I ordered is probably around 4-6 weeks old at the earliest.
Is it considered steeped or aged?
I open the juice and it tasted terrible. I let it sit on the shelf with the cap open and maybe a warm bath for a few more days until the flavor has changed to my liking.
Did I steep it or let it "age" some more?

not having bought from many vendors i cant say if juice sits around, however ive bought from mbv a lot of juices and they have a born on date and its usually at my door in 2-3 days so i dunno about the mixed a few wks before i ordered it theory.... however i do know steeping is not what one does while allowing their juices to come around to their liking, even if you placed your juices in a vat of liquid ( tops on i hope ) you'd still not be steeping, to steep is to EXTRACT ie take the flavors from the teabag into the water or even a bayleaf into the stew, both of which are discarded and the liquid enjoyed....to age or mature is to keep contained in a place or controlled ie environment or setting where as to let everything come together in harmony and mellow out to become what you and i love unless its excellent off the final conveyor then ofc no need ie vapes good( taste, production...you know what i mean ) straight out the mailbox
cmdebrecht, believe it or not, I reply in the same way... and have people laugh and make fun of me for .... I dunno, being so formal?
While we're on pet peeves (are we?)... how about "real quick"...or "drive safe".
Why all the hate for the "ly"?? Why?
Oh how I loved The Electric Company. I thought Morgan Freeman was da bomb before Morgan Freeman was da bomb.
And I agree wholeheartedly about the -ly. Sigh.
I agree that steeping is incorrectly used, but I don't know enough about "science" chemistry to say that aging is correct either.
To me, what we do with e-juice is more akin to "cooking" chemistry. We're not letting juice sit in a container from which it will draw additional flavors, which is what I consider aging (think Whiskey or Wine sitting in oak barrels). We let it sit over time so that the flavorings will blend more thoroughly, and I've always called that "marrying", like what you do with a fresh batch of a sauce or marinade. It's even already a smoking related term for when different cigars are stored together so that their flavor characteristics blend with one another.

Ah, isn't the English language wonderful? It's always changing. Did you know that "literally" can now also mean it's opposite?
I can live with the terms. However, I think Anjaffm nailed the term for steeping- maturing. It's much more fitting than aging. What do you think?

It would be interesting to see what would happen if everyone reading this thread started using maturing instead of steeping.

So, I was never a smoker...except for that time I caught on fire. I was just a consumer of cigarettes. I called myself a smoker though. I'm trying to recall a time when someone said "NO YOU'RE NOT!!!" Nope, not coming up with anything. I'm convinced that quitting smoking has given us far more things to argue about. Like a fool, I steep.
If we we let juice age or mature and the rare person who likes their juice new born or in its adolescent, is that person a pedafile vapor? Do they need to register some place?
Yes. And I'd stay away from that person if I were you. Fun fact, they can't vape in the Chuck E. Cheese.
Im sure they cant help it they don't want to be that way. They just have a defect that drives them to do it. Maybe if we castrate their taste buds they could live with out victimizing juice before its reached the age of vapesent.
I think that "analogs" is an amusing term for cigarettes. We ought not to get too uptight about that one.
You're quite right about "steeping" though. "Maturing" would be much better imho.

I do pray for them...it's the best I can do. Hey, do you think we're about to get another thread closed? Maybe if we don't tie in baby seal bags we'll be ok....
Until 3-weeks ago, I couldn't even go into Chuck E. Cheese.. I still can't. Unless, I have my daughter. You're not allowed in Chuck E. Cheese if you're over 16, without a kid with you.. I can deal.
I think as long as seal skin mods aren't brought up, it will stay alive..
