Questions on steeping

[jimboperthwa]

3 weeks into vaping I got a sore tongue (geographic tongue), so mixed up some unflavoured nic juice. I wanted to check do I need to steep it or is it good to go?

Also, I mixed in some 100% VG nic into pre mixed flavored juice. How long does that need to steep?

Unflavored juice is good to go right away

Steeping should help enhance your juice flavours, I think the theory has something to do with letting the different flavours interact and develop fully. If your flavoured juice was a few weeks old it shouldn't need to steep much more.

I've heard you can float juice bottles in a sink of warm water for a couple of hours to get the same effect. The added energy from the heat will cause the molecules in the juice to bounce around a lot more, accelerating the rate in which they bump into each other so I guess this makes sense.

Let us know if you try this and if it makes much difference

Excellent to hear on the unflavoured steep time. Will give the warm water a go, and see. I recon' I'll be on the unflavoured for at least a few days while the tongue settles down. Thanks for the replies!

Easy answer. Try it. If it tastes chemically or perfumy or bad, it may need to steep. But, from what you have described, it should be fine immediately, as others have mentioned above. The answer to how long anything should steep is simple....until it is ready to vape. I have found that only very complex recipes with many ingredients need more than a few days to steep, though one of my ADV takes about 5 weeks to steep and undergoes three distinct flavor changes. Single ingredient mixes a day or two. Several ingredients, four or five days. Ten ingredients, days to weeks. You can only tell by testing/tasting. Every juice is different, as is everybody's sense of taste and flavor. So, whatever works for you is best. Good luck to you in your JuiceQuest. Welcome to the Forum. Best to you!

Thanks for the info Bill, I'm keeping mixing simple at the moment. Still finding my way. But really pleased to have put down the analogues and being part of the vaping community.
