I have one of those vacuum sealers. The crap we'll do for good smoke juice!!! :)

On the other hand though, Hula had some Smooth Criminal unopened for months in a sealed bottle, and it still steeped (a good thing in that case). Might have to dust off the old time machine lol.

I imagine Hula had already had SC prior to that bottle, no?

No, but it was described as a dark amber color like when it's steeped. It still may have tasted close to the same as fresh, but I think she also said it wasn't too sweet. Nothing conclusive, just another vague guess like most issues steeping related. I'd be curious to vape side-by-side a months old unopened bottle next to the same juice fresh to get better data, or maybe somebody already has?

Now that seems like a study that I would like to participate in. Yeah, it does get slightly more deeper in tone after awhile.

I think (hope?) one day some double-blind studies will be done and we'll know what's exactly going on with steeping, what works and what doesn't. We'll laugh about the days we opened our bottles daily, left them opened, shaked vigoriously and often, and waited days, weeks, and months trying to properly age our juices.

If heat accelerates steeping, then it stands to reason that chilling would slow it down. Also, dividing into smaller containers would help maintain the levels of extracting agents. The extraction agents also ...... steeping but I'm not certain what Nick is using for extracting agents. I'm sure someone here knows.

A lot of the DIY guys freeze their nicotine juice and stuff to keep it fresh. I guess it works good, but mixed e-liquid might be a different story.

I saw him post a link recently for a place to purchase WTA juice that he intended to thoroughly Vett {sic} but the Mods had blocked the link. :confused:




I just read the most fascinating post about me. Since his post is still here, the only comment in it that is even worth addressing or quoting, for now, is regarding the WTA. Let the record show that in the WTA thread I asked the Mods to delete the post because I decided not to advertise for a vendor selling WTA that I had not vetted. WTA is something that, IMO, should be taken seriously and I decided to wait for some actual customer's take on it. Check the post, it says "deleted by OP's request," (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...cussion/228147-wta-future-21.html#post8954949, it's under this post) meaning that I, the original poster, asked for it to be deleted.

Forgive the off-topic post

The clarification is nice but you don't owe it to anyone.

I didn't feel like I "owe(d)" it to anyone. Misinformation should be pointed out, that's all. Thanks for the PM and the understanding.

This thread has been chippy and, in some cases, downright ugly the last several days. Let's hope we can move forward and get back to what the thread was intended for. I think it will. And I sincerely hope Nomo can get some help. :)

So back to it...did you ever sample QnJ's version of Kuba Kuba?

That's what I was referring to earlier when I said that I almost craved it, but didn't get actual vaping pleasure from. It is a keeper for me because I actually tend to like slightly floral vapes, but a 3 mL will last forever. That juice did have an almost cologne type of thing going on, but I think it is one of those vapes that is great in certain situations. For instance, I am finding that most rough-n-tumble NETs are better in the PM as opposed to the AM. In the AM I like more hybrid types or straight synthetics.

So much to learn, so little time to do it..

/me wrings hands in desperation.. :(

Dust...you have a mess of new NETS coming your way. That will keep you busy for awhile. Many of us (including myself) have been at this NET thing for many months and we're still oblivious to many facets of the NET world. If you ultimately favor NETS as a result of your sampling experience, you will have benefited from a lot of people's successes and failures in this thread. Kinda nice to see ECF at work, huh?

I spend more on juice than hardware. I just plunked down $30 for 36 mls of NET concentrates. In the next week I'll be plunking down some serious money for juice, mostly nic and concentrates to re-supply. I'm about 70/30 juice to hardware. This is your fault, people. When W2V, HHV, MeJ and GeJ get through with me I'll have plenty of juice but no food.

Bah! Who needs food when you got a Blonde.

It's easier to understand, for me, than all the new trinkets for mods and such...and a lot less expensive! hahaha

I've noticed similar preferences myself... I'll typically start out prefering a lighter vape and work up to the more robust later in the day. So I've been modifying my statement ( to myself ) of looking for an ADV to more of an ADSV ( all day style of vape ). Currently I'm using Savage, Rogue and finally Country Squire... the common theme being that they are simple tobacco flavors. I'll mix it up by vaping the more complex and interesting ones from time to time much like a dessert to a meal.
