Gotta love ya BK
Trying to change things. At least you got me saying "age" instead of steep.
I even changed it in my Blog!!

We must find the first person that misused that term and administer justice !!!!

lol this has come up sooooo many times on this forum. the general outcome of all those threads:
Using the technical definition, this is the wrong word to use and would confuse anyone in a field that uses the term and is unfamiliar with e juice.
The community has created its own definition of the word.
The majority of the community has no interest in changing their terminology.
Flaming sometimes ensues.

I am just learning these dang terms and now you want to change them!

LOL

not changing ... correcting

and the term steep in this arena was used correctly when people steeped tobacco to make DIYNETs... it just got carried over (incorrectly) to all juices
after the tobacco was filtered out, then the juice got aged....

The learning curve on ECF sure is STEEP.
Many of the proper ways of doing things seem STEEPED in mystery.
I never would have seen this thread if not waiting for my tea to STEEP.
But I rather just vape it, rather than wait for my juice to ....obtain perfection.

Not at all disagreeing with you or saying your wrong. Just letting you know how all of the many threads stating the same thing, one in great detail (the op was a page long!) have gone. People are stubborn

obtain perfection !!! I love it!!

So it isnt just me... wow... then this must be an important thing ...

 

[empteeteacup]

Ugh. Seriously? It's a colloquialism used in this community. Get over it. Steeping or aging. Use whatever term you like and stop nitpicking.

I've aged some tobacco juice and now consider it vintage.
