Nice thread. I too thought of this and didn't think it would be a problem, but it's nice to get verification. I bought a bottle of basic menthol and some fruity flavors, here's to trying a bunch of fruity ice flavors!
When I smoked a pipe, it was called ageing, or melding. It is a period of time in which the favors marry to each other to obtain a specific taste. I have pipe tobacco that I have aged for 10 years.
Being new to vaping, I don't know what amount time is required for liquid to meld flavors. 1 day, 10 days, more? OK, y'all call it steeping here! I'm OK with that!
The amount of time varies with each joose. Some are good to go right away,
some in a few days, other may need a few weeks. Tobacco flavors tend to
need more steeping than fruits and sweets. It's just a matter of testing it
every so often until it tastes good to you, and then let 'er rip.
Without having to chase down a thread, what's the proper way to steep? Maybe you can point me to a steeping thread?
Durianboy.. Please tell me you've found Durian flavored e-juice.
I'm all hope.
Also, I've been mixing Freedom Smoke USA's Mojito and Jungle Juice for a fantastic fruity mojito flavor.
There are many thoughts on this, but most of the revolve around the same idea.
For the most part, the consensus is to heat the joose, let it cool, shake it, then store it.
Most people get the tap water as hot as possible, fill a bowl and put the bottle of joose
in it. They usually float, so I put another bowl or something on top to hold it upright so
the water doesn't go in. In fact, I save those little miniature sealable bags most of them
come in, and I put it back in one of those.
You can give it a shake every so often while it's cooling. When it gets to room temperature,
I remove it from the bag, take the lid off (the spout and the secondary) to let some air
in, replace lids, shake it up, and then store in in a cool dry place - my cupboard works
fine.
Some people leave the lids off for a day or two. I've done it both ways. I can't say I see
a difference, but if you can keep them from spilling or being spilled, it doesn't hurt. Don't
go any longer than a coupla days. In the meantime, go in each day and give the bottle
a shake. If the lid was on, take it off to let it breath for a minute.
The amount of time it will take depends. I've got stuff in their right now that's been
steeping for over a month. I've opened new jooses and they were good to go right
away - and got better with time.
One variation is the heating part. Lately, I've been lazy and I just put the lidless bottle
in the microwave for about 30 seconds for a 30 mil. Then I shake it up and store it.
It's a real character builder to get a new joose you've been looking forward to and
then have to let it steep for a coupla weeks.
Hope that helps.
I just leave mine sit to steep it. I keep reading where heat, air and light are not so good for the things in juice, nic, pg/vg etc so everyone says store in cool dry place, don't let air get it if you have large amounts when doing actual DIY. I don't know cuz I'm not a chemist, but seems to me if those things aren't good for it, why would I do it to steep it? Then again, I don't do tobacco juices, mostly fruity and some bakery types, so I don't really feel the need to steep. Mostly my only steeping comes from it taking me awhile to go through some. Yes I can tell some difference in both color and flavor. I'm sure it speeds up the steeping process on juices that really do need it, but I do wonder if it makes it break down quicker. Again, I don't know and many swear by those ways above, but I don't. Just try different things and see what works great for you.
