Question about steeping mixed flavors

[subver]

Ok, so let's say I have 10 bottles of steeped single flavors (i.e. Capella Graham Cracker in nic base, TFA Brown Sugar Extra in nic base, etc) and they taste good so I decide I want to mix them. Do I need to let this new mixture steep, or will it be ok since the original flavors have blended nicely with the nicotine and VG?

My gut is telling me they will need to steep again, but I'm hoping I can get away with trying new mixes fairly quick? Maybe they will steep faster?

I'm also wondering the steep time for things like Graham Cracker, Maple, Brown Sugar, etc.. more "dark" flavors (I'm not a fan of fruity vapes) - again, my gut tells me the steep time will be longer? Maybe not as long as tobacco, but not as quick as fruit? Or does that not really matter? I know every flavor is different, but I wasn't sure if those flavors would take longer than a week or not (I'm hoping not a month!)

Is there a thread anywhere that has a good steep time for specific flavors?

Steep time is easy...

3 seconds or the time it takes to drip the juice into a dripping atty and vape, whichever is less.
If that doesn't taste right, set it back and forget about it for awhile and try it again.
If that doesn't taste right set it back, and forget about it for awhile and try it again.
Repeat until it gets unbearable and the experiment is pitched.

Note that this method will result in a number of bottles of experiments sitting around in various places and moving things becomes a new adventure in taste testing.

It's my method and it is not for the OCD...

Haha, thanks Hoosier. I know I know

Do you have any insight about mixing steeped flavors.. is it essentially the same as just combining the 2 flavors from the get-go, or will it be "more steeped" that it's fresh counterpart?

I know, I just need to try it and see, I was just curious, though

As soon as I develop a rule that actually works for steeping, I'll be sure to let everyone know. Until then I'll keep experimenting...


Steeping myth: All tobacco flavored vapes need to steep. Experimental results show some do and some don't.
Steeping myth: Fruit flavored vapes don't need to steep. Experimental results show that some do and some don't.
Steeping myth: Flavor combinations usually need to steep. Experimental results show that some do and some don't.

And...there seems to be no rhyme or reason why some do and some don't, it either does or doesn't.

I think it might be like the standard atomic model. Each time a proton, electron, or neutron is added another rule is added to the list to make the model work. I hate the standard atomic model...

Thanks so much Hoosier - so obviously I just need to experiment

I'm still amazed how a liquid can change from an almost clear tan color to a dark, almost opaque reddish brown over the course of 2 weeks!

how about chocolates? how long just on an average?
