Mixing Steeped & Unsteeped Flavored Juice -- An 'Aging' Question

[DebbieNY]

I think I read somewhere long ago what the best course of action is, but I can't remember nor can I find the post (that is, if I read it here). I want to reduce my nicotine level, but I have have all kinds of juice (WAY too much ) in all different nicotine levels. Most of my higher levels are long steeped, some are not.

Should I steep again when mixing non-steeped with steeped? For the steeped in more than nic level, can I simply mix them or should I steep again, after mixing them? Or should it not really matter much?

Yeah, after almost 3 years of vaping, I should not have to ask...

I would think a quick taste after mixing them would tell you what is needed. If you can't vape the heavy nic stuff and don't want to risk trashing the low nic new stuff, maybe just dilute the high nic juice with some PG/VG to get the desired level. As long as I don't dilute by more than adding 25% VG/PG the flavor still survives.

Personally, I would mix in VERY SMALL BATCHES - 15 ML or less at a time. You can't "un-ring" the bell if it doesn't work out!

I already have some lower or 0mg nicotine juice in the same flavor/vendor on its way or recently received, so my intention is to mix apples to apples, or CN's Sollers Point to Sollers Point , so I shouldn't have to add plain VG or PG to anything. There may be a few non-reorders for me that I may mix into another flavor/vendor to make them more palatable, so that's why I asked. I have some empty plastic and glass bottles to utilize, so I can do a little at a time. Thanks!

I don't steep juice. I age juice and steep tea.
I would taste it and then decide... I would also treat the newly created juice as NEW juice. I would plan to age it. The taste would point in the direction of how long it sits on the shelf.

Although technically inaccurate, most everyone has been referring to it as 'steeping', so it's hard for me to get used to another term. I am pretty .... when it comes to using the correct word, but that one just won't get out of my head. LOL!

Thanks, everyone... I'll test them at various stages of aging and see what works best.

Easy for me.... Tea is HOT. Juice, is not. The ONLY time I use any heat on my juice, other than DIY extraction, is when I push the fire button on the mod.

There's actually a term for mixing an aged product with a new "un-aged" product. It helps it age a little faster. I forgot what the term is but wine and liquor manufactures do it a lot.

If I can remember it or find it on the Googles I'll edit it in.

I've been wondering about that too. I'm not looking to reduce my nic. level yet, but with so many vendors discontinuing their higher nicotine juices, I've thought I might need to resort to adding nicotine to lower nic juices at some point. I don't want to get into DIY at this point, but if just adding a bit of nic isn't too involved, I'd probably go for that.
