Plume Room Creamy Mint Steep Time?

[Blueser]

I ordered a sample of Creamy Mint that was absolutely delicious...the cream was lightly sweet and succulent and the mint was a very refreshing finishing. So I ordered a 24ml bottle. I've had it steeping for about a week and a half and it still hasn't blossomed. I can't taste any cream or mint. If anyone here is familiar with this blend, can you tell me how long normally this needs to steep for the flavors to blossom/blend...the only explanation I can think of for the small sample tasting so good is that maybe it was several + weeks old.

Do you have it in glass or plastic? If its in glass it will steep very slowly. Also, high VG blends take longer. Be sure to shake it well every day, or twice a day.. Like really really really shake it until there's so many bubbles it looks carbonated.. the more the better. You'll see the bubbles slowly rising to the top, but what you're really doing is aerating the liquid. The oxygen will get to it by just letting it sit too, but shaking speeds up the process and helps the flavors open up. Shoot an email to TPR too and tell them your concerns. Customer service is excellent there, I'm sure they will have some suggestions for you.

I contacted Troop and he sent me another bottle (yep great CS) but it is mostly void of flavor as the first bottle. Funny thing is, the small sample was fabulous right off the mail truck. I've been shaking the bottle every chance I get. I guess I'll just have to shelf them for 2-3 weeks and see.
