Cap off stepping will help some juices lose flower or perfume as well. I have also found certain flavors like vanilla can be tamed down a bit with some cap off steeping. This will also cut down on shelf life from what I understand after reading a blog from a vaping chemist.

Most of my e-liquids don't live long enough to make it to their potential shelf life :D

I'm a terrible steeper too. I can't wait more than a week. And that's pushing it.

What I actually do, once I know I like a e-liquid... is stock up on twice what I think I'll use. When 1/2 is gone, I order again. Of course, I run out on new ones that I find I like still... haven't worked around that issue without buying a big bottle of what I may or may not care for.

Review of Golden Virginia, USA Mix, and State Express Vision juices from the Alpha program.
Yet again, I love the bottle! Labeling sucks, but the bottle is awesomesauce.
Vapor and throat hit are pretty great.
Flavor. I don't particularly enjoy these tobacco flavors, I love the smoothness of NET flavors and some if the better RY's. HOWEVER: I had several smoker-soon-to-be-vapers try them, and they all really liked them! I think that these would be great for new vapers. Have you tried a cigarette after vaping for a while? It's harsh, strong, and pretty horrid. That is exactly what a stinky user is looking for, and I think they would find it here.
So in reality, a bad taste to me, is perfect for them. If I revisit my chocolate and cherry reviews with smokers in mind, I think that these would be excellent.
Anybody know a new vapor that can't quite seem to quit that morning stinky? Or that says sometimes vaping doesn't quite "do it" for them? Give them this in an atomizer and see if that cures them. My bet is it would.
Thanks GotVapes!!!

Don't worry about that...this is alpha and honesty counts :) If you're having a negative experience and tell us why or what........it's important to know for all concerned.;)
Yup,
It's not like when my wife asks if her .... looks big in those pants...in Alpha you tell it like it is.

So, I like it alot but I find it floods alot. I have tried this on many different devices (2 different Provaris, ZMAX, and a few Mechanicals) it flooded on all of them. When it worked right for me, it was awesome but it kept flooding. Not sure why either but tried 2 different juices (70/30 VG/PG and 65/35).

Now for something interesting about this... So I had it actually happen on 2 mods but unfortunately my cats... (damn cats) knocked over my standing mod with the phoenix on top. The force of the fall (over on to table, not from height or to the floor) it actually stripped / chipped the threads. After which it still screwed in but it was very loose even tightened all the way down. I tried it on other mods thinking that the mod stripped but it was the phoenix. So not sure if it was a weak base or what but had 2 do the exact same thing.

Other than that it was pretty good... when it worked for me. I don't even have anything that could be linked to why it was flooding. It sounded like it was girggling alot so I would blow it out and it worked for a while and then would flood eventually later.

(i assume you were talking about the phoenix ravens)
i had 2 that worked great until they wore out from use...and two others that flooded / leaked from the get go .. i'm starting to think its just a QC issue ..one of the workers must of been half assing his job in the factory =P

that said .. i'm ordering more when they are restocked .. when they work ..they work great
