Ok. I cooked the nasty stuff.

A couple of weeks or so ago i posted a thread about this e liq that was awful. let it steep was the response that worked for most with this kinda thing. Today it still tasted like some bad brandy, not coffee.
Enough already, i put some in a small bowl and microwaved it, a few seconds at a time, until the noxious fumes were gone. let it cool and filled a ce2. Still not exactly coffee flavor, but vapable, if not slightly pleasant.
I had hoped to have some unflavored vg to mix in by now hopefully soon.
Has anyone else had this problem/ solution, or even a reason for this.

thx davido

To me, no amount of steeping can fix a bad juice. I got a bottle of 50 ml "unknown" sold under brand name, was noxious bad when I got it, still noxious bad after a month. I would stay away from that juice/vendor combo.

Microwaving could have evaporated something, water maybe, or your microwave is vaping your juice. Under heat, some properties of juice ingredients could have changed, but I still don't see that doing much. Hope you vape through it.

Sorry that didn't "really" work for you. I've been known to put juice on my coffee cup warmer in a glass with just enough water to keep the bottle from getting too hot to speed up steeping. Worked on my juice but YMMV.

I've DIY'd some nasty stuff. Best advice is toss it and start over. Mistakes are sometimes the best education.

this was an alcohol based flavor. i think what i did was the same thing that happens when cooking with vanilla extract, once it hit the boiling point the alcohol was gone. gonna cook the rest and let it steep. have been taking a hit now and then this evening and it is starting to taste more like coffee. who'd thunk it?

If there's alcohol, a good shake and open cap (repeat) would evaporate it. But you may not be able to wait.
