Steep or no steep that is the question!

I have gotten many suggestions in the past about steeping your juices. Some say one week a dark place, and others say leave open for 24 hours then leave in dark place for 2 weeks. Another issue is the type of flavor like tobacco or fruits. This question seems to be coming up more and more with all the vendors out there making fresh juice, when you receive it, it's only 2-3 days old. I want to know what your take is on the subject.

Depends on how low on juice I am.

I have a little case I keep my juice in and just throw it in.

I don't vape tobacco juices but my fruit juices definitely have more flavor after a week or two. My main PG vape always tastes exactly the same to me.

I think the more complex tobacco juices with several flavors probably benefit the most from steeping. Some people do top off for a day. I just leave the top on.

I found out early on that steeping can have huge effect with some juices and to little to no effect with others but it never hurts. I just make sure I have a month supply on hand at all times then any new juice I get it'll be a month before I vape it. I may drip a few drops when I get it initially but after that I put it aside and don't make a decision on it till I bring it out again. That way I don't have to wonder whether it'll be a juice that needs to be steeped or not.

I've never done the cap off thing, don't like the idea of that. I just store it as I would any juice in a cool dry place until I bring it out again.

i personally dont leave the cap off as i doubt the creators of the flavor made it using this method. cool dark place should be fine.

in general newly creatrd juices always nees some time to steep. tobaccos generally always need seeping time too, longer than fruits generally.

my own general rule. if i dont like a juice when i first get it, i stash it away and forget about it and try it again one more time before i give an opinion.

you'd be surprised how many times i thought a juice was nasty, jus to find out i actually liked it

Just got some BWB and notice some have a very subtle flavor. With my VS Tampa and Texas they got much stronger after a couple of weeks.

I read somewhere on here that's the reason he started making juice in the first place is because he likes a more subtle flavored juice. Flavor is enhanced when the juice steeps, even the non-tobacco flavors like the peach and menthol. I don't think BWB has that 'in your face flavor'. Like I said, I don't really vape tobacco, but I've tried most of them (fill someone elses cartos) and out of the tobacco juices I've tried (haven't tried them all), Casablanca probably has the strongest flavor. My mom loves the stuff. I think I could actually vape the Virginia, it's a nice light vape to me.

Ah, that explains it. The 555-Exotic is not subtle at all. I might have to mix it with something. I'll let it steep while I vape the rest and see how it goes.
