Steep time

[Ashtonsmommy1209]

Just made my first e-juice and I can't wait to try it. Question is, what's the steep time before I test it out?

My steep time is 5 seconds,I can never wait.

Depends on the type of flavor you made. Most fruit flavors need little steep time. I always test mine out before I decide to steep.

I made coconut/pineapple/banana flavored. I guess I'll give it a try today and then let it sit overnight and try it again tomorrow. Thanks, I feel the same way, I CAN't wait haha. Especially since this is my first try and I'm dying to see how it turned out

I make a similar juice but use dragonfruit instead of pineapple,I can't live without coconut.But I notice a difference just letting sit overnight and even changing whilst sitting in the vivi nova tank for a few hours.But I do try it right away.

Or you can do a hot steep.. shake put into hot water let cool down..shake again do that 2-3 times and your good to go.
Same day testing!

Should I boil water and then take it off burner, or just use hot tap water?

No just hot or warm water.

Looks like your juice is predominantly fruit so you should be good to do it right away. The tobaccos and desert vapes (especially if there's chocolate in it) take longer to steep.

I usually place them in the sink and let hot water run to a point where it's not flooding but enough where the water is half way of the bottle. With the caps on of course. I then give them a good shake.
I used to try to experiment by mixing up stuff randomly, I ended up with allot of nasty blends. Even after I steeped them over 2 weeks. Now I just use the bad mixes for carbonizing my ss mesh wicks. I learned that allot of flavors out there aren't great to begin with. I just purchase flavors the are recommended on the DIY sub-forums here. I made quite a few great juices thanks to these helpful folks here.

I steep all my juice for at least 1 week. More if I have enough supply to justify it. The taste only gets better / fuller the more steep time you allow. You can watch the color of most any juice (DIY or Vendor) darken as it steeps. I can usually look at my bottles and tell if they are "ripe" or not.

Also: >This may get some folks by surprise as its opposite of the general rule< I set my juice in the window seal for a few days to get some sun light, then tuck them away until use. The juice always darkens faster and taste better to me. Just my method, everyone has their own.
