New vaper intro and a couple questions

[leannan24]

Hi all. I'm Robin. Stopped smoking and started vaping a month ago after smoking since I was 12 so far so good
not to my questions, I am seeing posts about "steeping" liquids. How long should they steep? Can I just keep them in bottles or do I have to take off lids? I am thinking of ordering from MVP and have diluted some of my 24mg eliquid with VG that I grabbed at Walmart. I know that will dilute the flavor but hate to waste the juice will it be better if I steep awhile?

Steeping is always a good thing but not always absolutely necessary. I only steep with the cap off if the juice contains alcohol. You can order some flavor concentrates from Flavor Lab
and try adding flavor back to juices you have diluted.

Most vendors mix the juice when you order it. As a result, most of the time, they need to steep for around 1-2 weeks. You can take the tops off or leave them on. It is more of a matter of giving the juice some time to age.

Juices do get better with age. However I try mine as soon as I get them. I don't like to wait. If it taste perfumy or like alcohol, I will put it away in a dark cabinet for a few days with the cap off for a day or two & I also shake them well at least once a day, and I always shake them before filling a tank to make sure all ingredients are blended well. Good luck & VAPE ON

Thank u so much for the reply. Still very new to this although I'm reading everything I can.
Can anyone point me to info on how to clean my atomizer and cartridges? I have a revolver talon. Hoping to make things last more than the month they told me it would last.

This is how I steep my juice. I shake the bottle for about 30 seconds and take the top cap and nipple piece off and put it in a closet for 24 hours then I reapply the caps and let it sit there for another 5 days. I then repeat the process one more times and the juice is good to go.

You can take the atomizer out and soak it in hot distilled water and shake the crap out of it until it is clean. Then let it dry for 24 hours and your good to go. Make sure it is dry though or you can destroy the attie. This is how I clean atties and I have used the same 2 atties for the last 6 months.

If you are cleaning a basic atomizer shaped like a carto this method works great too

What I do is pour some distilled water in a bowl and microwave it for a minute until its real hot then use a syringe with attachment CVS Oral Syringe 2 Tsp/10 mL - CVS pharmacy this one is only 3 bucks at cvs and it comes with a rubber piece that fits perfect on the mouth end of carto and other end on syringe. Then you just keep pushing water thru it until the color is clear. I do it about 10 to 15 times. Then lay out and let dry for 24 hours which is key you do not want to vape if it is still wet you will destroy carto. Anyways this method works great I use to do this all the time when I used cartos and still use this method on atomizers and I can make my atties literally last forever like this...

Steeping? That's where you buy it and then don't use it for awhile? Yea, I'm not really patient! Well I guess it steeps until I use it all up!

Okay forgive the stupid question but do I soak the whole atomizer piece or do I have to take it apart somehow? From what I have read my setup is pretty much the same as the ego-t
