So I ordered 2 max VG 120 ml bottles of berry cake and a cherry tea.
It is so muted I barely taste anything. Especially the cherry tea it taste like I'm vaping Vaseline.
Its been a week and the flavors slightly improved. But not enough. If steeping is recommended they should state that on the web site or at least a note in the order.
Well anyway if nothing else it inspired me to try my hand a making some eliquid. After all I'm a excellent cook.

IMO, ALL ejuice requires some AGING. I steep TEA not E-juice. E-juice from a Specialty house where the juice is mixed to order requires more aging, by the user, than does juice from a mass producer. Mass produced juice like what you find at the gas station or many BM shops, is months old by the time it is delivered to the shop.
Expensive juice often requires more aging than cheap juice, Just like wine and liquor and cheese.

I guess it'll be gone before its "ready".
My next stop is diy and I'll have to keep buying b&m till I have an aged batch then. Thanks

What brand? I've vaped a ton of VG and most quality juice brands do not require steeping even if they are mixed to order. VG is slow steeping but you should be able to taste it fine FOOB. You mentioned 120ml bottles so I'm wondering if you bought a budget brand that might be low on flavoring.
It was kick ... liquid. And $60 shipped for the two bottles. Its not horrible tasting at least , but not like wow that's good. You know.

That could be the problem. Large quantities at extremely low prices will limit the number of wow juices you are going to find. If you want to increase your chances of finding something great in high VG I'd recommend The Vape Kitchen or Ahlusion but the price tag will go up. Fortunately, Black Friday is getting closer.

Lol well that's life only one way to learn. On the positive side I'm able to pep it up with similar b&m liquid and stretch it out till I get my diy supplies.

maybe some of the flavoring in your DIY order is compatible with the berry and the cherry liquids with muted flavor? you should be able to salvage the juice by adding some more flavoring to them.
