some of the juices do have more th... my suggestion for next time, less nic, and more vg...
for now, what you can do is get some pure vg and add about 10 to 20% (start with less; you'll see the th go down as you add.
got my juices today, diggin the flavors. I got one question though before I place another order. Is there something I can change in the order to make it a little less harsh on the throat? The variety of juices I've tried since starting have been all over the map, so I couldn't pinpoint what it is that makes one smoother than another. Would changing the amount of nic or VG make a difference? Stuff I got this time was 70/30 mostly PG 18mg and it's a little rough on the throat, suggestions?

All I order are 30ml bottles & I usually let them steep for about a week, but - to be honest - the juice tastes fine without steeping.

Basically...yes. Look at it this way...when you make home made soup/stew/chili/spaghetti sauce...the longer it sets, the more flavorful it becomes. Same type concept....all those foods taste way better the next day, so yes...steeping allows all the flavors to kinda meld together and come to their prime. All juices however don't need it. I have found that basic kinda flavors (fruits and such) don't need it...the flavors that have kinda a dairy kinda thing goin on (vanillas/custards etc) do best after some steeping. With that said, none of the flavors that I have gotten (in 15ml) from Nikhil have required steeping....do they taste better/stronger as time goes by???.....yes, but they have plenty of :drool: factor right outta the mail box:laugh:

Now this all holds true for freshly made juices.....if you buy from a vendor that sells pre-made juice, well the steeping time has passed and "typically" setting it aside will not help it (unless it is a tastebud change thing).

I actually have a secret speed steeping technique which I apply to every freshly made bottle of juice, which is part of the reason they are delicious right out of the package. Thanks for the good summary!

Hey Nikhil...I have a flavor suggestion:D

A nice STRONG Snickerdoodle......everything I have tried as just been kinda weak in the flavor dept.....and I love the buttery cinnamon taste;) The cinnamon I don't really want super strong so it overpowers all the other flavors, but I would love to see one that can be REALLY tasted, not just cookie hint if ya know what I mean;)

i have to agree; snickerdoodle has stayed in my number one spot for at least 6 months now... that's saying something with all the different flavors out there. there are a few different ones that are quite good now, but would LOVE to see one from Pure Vapes.

and yes, too much cinnamon oil will ruin it imo! it is very harsh on the mouth and all. i think the trick is just the right amount...

Okay, I'll give it a shot and will let you know when I have a test batch ready. I might have free samples of it ready before I go on break (on the 13th of July), but balancing a recipe that has cinnamon as a main ingredient can be difficult, and I'm currently testing a Cola base flavor for my Flavor Creator. Since cinnamon strength is a concern, I'll do what I did with the cappuccino in the Epic Cookie Fantasy and have a light cinnamon in the cookie and allow for people to add extra cinnamon if they're more into it.

Also, my new internet connection has been flipping out for a few days now, and we've had 6 technicians come out to fix it. I think the latest one got the job done right, but I'm wary about getting my hopes up at this point.
