A conversation a couple nights ago got me thinking. A lot of juice is like a fine wine. The longer it ages the better it gets. Since there's a lot of people finding their way to Nicoticket my idea was for people with bottles 2 months or older post pics of their bottles with what nic level, born on date and how it's been steeped. That way people can use it as a guide if they want. And I love seeing pics of those older bottles :p They're soo purdy :wub:
So what do you guys think?

Great Idea! I personally also get slightly turned on by a Dark NT bottle? Is that weird?

Bottles, or cans :)

Great idea Stacy!! As you probably already know... I think this is great information for new vapers, and people new to Nicoticket. I'd also add some "personal tasting notes" from that stage if people are ambitious!

This beauty has been in a cool dark place since I got it. It's been brought out for fondling, I mean shaking every once in a while. I'm not a big tobacco person, I prefer fruits and bakery types. I reach for this one when I need something totally different or have a big craving. Works like a charm every time.

I think this is the old version. I got it about the time the changeover happened. Paging Clark, he'd know if it is or not.
Steep method hasn't changed ;) I use this one the same way as Radioactive. Only difference is for this I make sure I'm not doing anything else. That way I can pay attention to how it changes. It's a sneaky one that can change 20 different ways in 10 minutes (ok that might be a slight exaggeration, but not by much.)

I was hesitant to add this since if it comes back it'll be next year. I decided to add it because people might come across it in a trade. This is a blend of dragon fruit mixed with CB. The flavors come together beautifully. Since I've never had dragon fruit I can't say how spot on it is. All I know is I baby this so it'll last.

Creme Brûlée: Winter Edition
Born on ??? Ordered December 27, 2013
12 mg
Into my new order gets here this is the only 12 mg I have. There was a one bottle limit on it. I got it knowing at one point I'd be lowering my nic. As soon as my rda gets here I'll be breaking into this.
What it is is Creme Brûlée winterized :p

Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the difference in flavor on your 6 month bottle?

The 6-month-old CLS is in my Reo Grand....RM2 with a single 1.2 ohm micro coil, cotton wick/cloud combo...
The custard has "mellowed" (for lack of a better description); I detect more vanilla now than when it was fresh...
Being 18mg....the slight "peppery" taste that was evident when fresh has basically disappeared (at least, to MY taste buds!!)...
As you can see from the pic....I haven't even tapped the 3/3 (OK...I lie....I DID drip ~6 drops in an IGO-L when it first arrived..."in the name of science"....the aforementioned "fresh" characteristics were, again, present....as I expected....)...
Don't think this newer bottle is gonna be around to "re-test" at the 6-month mark, though...I'm hitting my Grand pretty hard...
And my Mini 2.1 is getting a good workout with GCD!!:D
Happy (vaping) Trails!

Excellent! Thank you very much for responding. I have a bottle about to hit the one month mark (haven't tried CLS yet). I think I will keep it back until 3 months and then try it. I am patient with things when the wait pays off.

I would drip a bit to get an idea of how it tastes at the different times of steeping. You may find you like it at a different stage than others. Plus, the bottle needs a bit of air . . .. :D
