Thank you very much for the speedy reply. I shook the heck out of them and let them sit top off for about 4 hours earlier today. I think i will go ahead and do the hot bath soon. Then off too steep for a week while i finish my Nicoticket juice :)
I have no problem vaping them right away but mind you...I know what they taste like steeped so when I vape it unsteeped I don't give judgement because I know the end result once they do steep. I hope you enjoy them!

Wanna hear something serendipitous?

My ITC order was in town (only knew this because when I have vapemail in circulation, I check the USPS tracking website thirty times a day) and says it was out for delivery. Turns out it was the day I was moving a few miles away, and also the day my Mail Forwarding started. So although the order, as well as 4 other vapemail packages, were in my town, they all got forwarded 50 miles away merely to have that little yellow sticker on them and sent back to me.

The reason it's serendipitous is because I will most likely have pre-steeped juices by the time they get back to my town.

Let's hope the USPS service chain takes the extra bumpy roads.

I am sorry or your misfortune but It might end up a blessing in disguise. I hate usps myself at times but hope u like the juice when you finally receive it. I am terrible at waiting for steeping- so at least it will be steeped. .

I haven't had to steep juice in a while.

If so, I'll just give it the ole' boiling water simmer which has worked wonders for me.

I am loving the IPV2 soooooo much. It's a Hana killer, lol. I love the versatility and broader range of watts. Just got a mutation x but have mixed feeling about that one. What were the other three you ordered?
Yeah the ipv2 is great! Loving it so far.

I ordered spoonlicker v2, pixie tears, and monkey cake. I'm liking a fruity cream vape in my stillaire vs a straight up fruit in my tanks. The rda's just seem to do cream and custard so well!

I found that sitting with the cap off helped that throat hit mellow a bit. The more I shook and let them steep, the better they got.

I ordered Heaven's Bounty because i wanted to take a break from DIY and I've heard many good things about ITC Vapes. Can anyone describe this flavor? Dying in anticipation lol!
Hard to explain and I'm not a juice Nazi that can tell you all the different "notes" but I get coconut with a hint of cream. I know other flavors are in there but its these two that hit me, and why I like it so much.

I'm not very good a describing the flavors and your taste may be different then mine. But I'll give it a try. Both are 12 mg and then only steeping I did was to take the caps of for about 8 hours and then gave them a good shake.

I like the Dirty Dutchman the best. I like the sweetness to it. The caramel and chocolatey taste seem to blend together perfectly. And the hint of tabacco adds to the over all flavor of it. I was afraid the juice would have a week taste like a lot of the sub $5 for 15 ml juices tend to have. Not so with DD. The strength of the flavor is really good.

The Silver RY4 is in a completely different flavor profile. It's more traditional type of RY4. Not to sweet a hint of vanilla and caramel and a little more tobacco taste.

You can't go wrong with either one IMO.

How weak is the tobacco flavor in the DD? I like ry4's, and the one from quicknic has been my adv for months now... But this is a bit less than half the price... So, I've been considering the silver ry4. Then the DD caught my eye. The only concern is the tobacco flavor might be too subtle.

Well looky looky, juice came in today.

They all smell really good, but I don't want to jump the gun.

Working overnight tonight; think I'll dump the bottles in the breakroom sink at the office. Monkey Cake is calling my name.



::EDIT:: I meant submerge the bottles in hot water...not actually dump it out. That would be a crime. :laugh:

My only experience with Ry4 was not a good one. [emoji53] I ordered my first Ry4 from a vendor that I've gotten numerous other things I liked from. I've read stories from other forum members about vaping juice so horrendous that they retched, but never expected that might happen to me. That Ry4 tasted like a combination of what dog poop mixed with an old desk drawer might taste like, and I honestly DID retch. Out loud. *snickers* I can laugh about it now, at least. [emoji5]
Needless to say, that was the end of my Ry4 search. Until I found this thread, and based on the description of Dirty Dutchman, decided to give Ry4 another chance. I'm SO very glad I did! But will it be enough of a tobacco taste to suit a tobacco lover? That's hard to answer since I was a menthol smoker, and it pained me when I had to bum a non-menthol. [emoji28]
But it's a damned fine vape regardless, so maybe approach it from that standpoint instead of thinking about it as just another Ry4, which it most definitely is not. ITC restored my interest in the Rys, though, and put to rest a pretty nasty vaping memory. lol [emoji1] Silver is on it's way (thank you from the bottom of my heart, you know who you are [emoji8]), and I'll be purchasing Gold along with a 120ml Dirty Dutchman and Spoonlicker v2 with my next order.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Edit: Just thought of something that may or may not be helpful...a friend of mine who smokes Marlboro Lights says DD reminds her of a rich, caramel-flavored pipe tobacco with a pinch of vanilla. [emoji57]

I couldn't resist.

Monkey Cake OOB is definitely good. Excited to see how complex it gets after a nice warm bath and shaking.

I think the 3mg + High VG + above average quality is going to be enough to sell me on ITC as a staple in my lineup.
Looking forward to mine. I ordered the same way. Digging banana flavors lately!

You sure are funny! Wish you never again have another vape like that, Chrome.

I just had it submerged in very hot water for 30 minutes and gave it a minute-long shake. The consistency of the High VG juice after sitting in hot water was that of High PG (not viscous at all, waterlike). Shook it to death.

Monkey Cake is definitely a keeper. I'm going to write up a review by the end of my shift on the 5 flavors I received.

After a couple days, speed steeping and all I have to say:
Guys, try the Gold Ry4, they market the silver way better, but the gold is tastier to my tounge, and I like strong tobacco flavor in my Ry4
Silver is pretty good but I wish it was richer. The tobacco is ciggarette like and has a ashy after taste which is fine, just wish the ciggarette part was more pipe like with slightly less ashy after taste (but still a little)
Dirty Dutchman: still needs more time.
