I am expecting an order of ejuice and got some basic fruit flavors such as pear, strawberry, and pineapple. I want to mix some of them up to make flavors for example I want to mix a strawberry with pineapple and also a pear with pineapple.

I am wondering if I should let the juices steep first and then mix them, or should I mix them as soon as I get them and then let them steep after mixed.

Thanks in advance for any help.

After mixing, say I
Ya that makes sense I suppose, thanks. I just wasn't sure how much it will affect the overall flavor but idk it's why I asked. Like maybe it would work better if the individual flavors were steeped first then mixed. Maybe the two flavors mixed before steeped will affect taste differently? I guess I will try both ways and see as I don't have a definitive answer. Will post back with results but will be a while.

I would actually say mix them first! Then let them age. This will allow the flavors to blend by the time you vape it!

Really though, as WonderDude said, you don't need to age straight up fruit vapes. Creams, Vanillas, and Tobaccos, yes, but not purely fruits.

Unless it's stated by the manufacturer, vape them. Most fruit type juice will have 72 hours of delivery time before it gets to you so the steeping is done. At least you could try them and if it needs an additional day or two, you could do it then.

Sounds good. I had read that such fruit juices don't need steeping but thought a quick week couldn't hurt. That is 2 votes for mixing before steeping so I am just going to go with that. Thanks for the help mates.

Give the fruits a good whiff. If you catch any soapy/perfumey (Alcoholy) smell, pull the little dropper spouts and let it breath for a couple days. I'd even let freshly mixed fruits wait 7 days before trying them.

The basic definition of steeping is a better, more thorough mixing. Therefore, I'd combine Before steeping myownnOOb self.
