Caps off is to evaporate the alcohol from the flavoring.
An ultrasonic cleaner will accelerate the airing and steeping considerably.
I have a $30 el cheapo but still get fully steeped juice in hours (over the course of a day or so).
It's worth the $30 to me and will probably upgrade to a more robust UC unit YMMV

A lot of vapers do the caps-off thing in a closet.
Keep the cats out of the closet and voila!

After discovering the importance of steeping (and the night-n-day difference it can make to flavor), a UC is the next vape-related *thing* on my list of "Random vape Gear/Equipment I Need To Make Life Easier" list.

Yup. I keep 'em in my closet. But she has the swing-door type closet, and she's also sorta paranoid to begin with. It's a no go for her. Doubt she'll put the $ into any ultrasonic cleaner. Guess I'll just tell here that it might lessen her vaping pleasure and let her do her thing. I was just wondering if it makes enough of a difference that I should have her send them to me to stick in my closet. Probably I was just hoping folks would chime in with "no need for MBV!" I'm big on wishful thinking:p:p!

Here you go, Becky: I have no done any "cap off" steeping with any of my MBV juices. I do tend to let them sit, unsampled, for a week to two weeks, and shake often during that time.

OMG.... So much info, so little time in the day. If you can't tell, I had the day off today. So I will immerse myself and digest some things before I buy anymore juice. I didn't like some of the previous juice orders i received. I think I will order from here next time. I am not ready to start making my own mixes. Thank you very much for putting those links together for me. I really appreciate it. :drool:

tcgenius - read below - here are the links Mowgli posted about steeping and ultrasonic cleaners.

Yayyy my order is here!!! I got Butterscotch, Butter Toffee, Sticky Bun and Waffle. My free sample is Caramel Coffee just like I requested. I love MBV!!! :) The steeping begins. I really need to get an ultrasonic cleaner thingamajig! Lol. I know this is redundant but which are good right out of the mail that I ordered. I am too lazy to search for it. Lol.

Sticky Bun is good right away. Butterscotch needs steeped and Caramel coffee needs a LONG steep or all you taste is the coffee. Not tried the others.

Hey all,
I have been in never never land for a while and wanted to pop back in to remind/inform that with everyone posting such good information on different mixes you have created. And with all the good steeping information that this section would be a great place to post if you're willing to share...

The link is for the MBV dedicated and unmoderated portion of the ECF forum. It's lonely over there right now...lol

Well I got my order from MBV on Saturday and could not be more happy!

Here are my thoughts on the order:

1 x Cucumber Mint E Juice Baker Vapor (I think this one needs some steeping, the jury is still out)
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)

1 x Solar Flare E Juice Baker Vapor (Outstanding! - I really like this one. Orange Tic-Tacs with a hint of menthol)
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)

1 x Get Razzled E Juice Baker Vapor (My new daily vape - creamy with razz - absolutely awesome! I love this one)
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)

1 x Hawk Sauce E Juice Baker Vapor (Another great one! My second favorite from the order)
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)

They also sent a T Razz Ice Tea for free. I have not really tried this one much. I need to give it a chance today.

I have been focusing on the Ice line with a couple of flavors and will get the rest with my next order.

Black Ice - I really like the menthol with this one. And the berry adds a nice addition to the overall flavor.

Green Ice - The menthol is light with this one. And the apple is just like tasting an actual Granny Smith apple. I'm really liking this one as well. I have been looking for a sour type apple flavor that tasted like an apple and NOT another candy type flavor.

The Ice line seems like it will be a good one for me!

Tucson, it's a dry heat
I keep meaning to head over there . . . this one post is getting cumbersome. Much like the "I gotta stay away from . . . " thread that got moved to the lounge. I was thinking we would get relegated to the lounge as well.

Thanks. Wouldn't the Carmel Coffee already be steeped since its a sample?

If you specifically requested it as your sample it won't be pre-steeped, they made it fresh for your sample.

MBV picks a flavor type to give out each month (last month was lemonades). They make up 80/20 12mg samples of those flavors, and send them out. In theory orders placed later in the month will have a more steeped sample than those placed early in the month.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the the Green Ice, I was interested in that and think I will give it try.

Good to know. I just placed an order last night that includes cucumber mint 12mg. 50/50 with one flavor shot. Sounds so refreshing for summer. Anyone have experience with this one?

In the spirit of hot summer weather I've ordered some more seasonal flavors. I've got cucumber mint, strawberry shortcake, swedish lime, and white out to add to my other fruits shipped out today. The only one I've never really seen discussed here is the cucumber mint. What do you think? Sound refreshing? Hit or miss??
