Questions on juice steeping

[dt76]

Hey everyone,

I know this question has been asked dozens of time and I've read most of them but I'm still a little confuse.

I recently purchased liquids from Tastyvapor which is Atomic Cinnacide, Tastyfinger, Caramel popcorn and Cafe mocha - all on 24mg with 20vg mix

1) Do I shake them up and open up the cap and feeder then sit it at a dark spot or it doesn't really matter caps on or off

2) Do steep duration varies depending on bottle? Such as 10ml vs 30ml where the latter will take longer?

3) Is there a recommended/standard steeping period such as 1 week? Also do lighter shade liquids steep faster?

4) Do juices have an expiry date?

I've previously purchased liquids from FreedomsmokeUsa and they were bad right from the beginning, bad as in I think they're faulty (rather tasteless with minimal throat hit eventhough it is 18mg), after steeping it for almost 4 weeks and trying it again I'm still yielding the same result. Should they steep somemore? My juices from FSUSA is Peach, Zen watermelon & Chocolate strawberry (30ml, 120ml & 30ml)

Hope you guys can help me out!

Cheers!

I think most juices need some steeping time. With 10-15 mls, 2-5 days. With 30 mls, could be a week or 2. 120 ml could be a long time!! This is my general time line, though certain juices are ready to go right when you get them and others actually need longer than the standard steeping time. I don't generally want to buy a juice if I hear its something you should steep for months lol. Too impatient to wait for that goodness. When I first get something I will shake it up really good for like 30 seconds. The first day I will steep with cap off for some juices, if they smell really perfumey or chemically. Otherwise my juices steep with the cap on. In a dark place. Juices do have expiration dates, sometimes they are right on the bottle. If not I would assume a year, but just because a juice is expired does not mean it has gone bad. Try it and see.

Some people recommend when you get a juice try it at first and if it doesn't taste good then let it steep.

HTH

Also I shake my juices up several times in the first 2-3 days of getting them. After that I don't worry about shaking them anymore for the most part.
