Steep

[louis]

I am new & want to know how do you steep a juice?
Do you take the top off to air, & if so, how long?
Just a ignorant newbie I guess.

I'm pretty sure you are right , you just expose it to the air and put it in a cool dark place and let it sit for a couple days or weeks. In my experience so far I have had no luck letting juice steep to change the flavor , if it sucked out of the box it still sucked two weeks later after trying the magical steeping . Good luck hope it works for you

Lol, yeah, certain juices steep and change, others dont..... just use it a couple time, this will expose it to the air (Its not like its made in an air free process though) give it 3-5 days and you will see and taste a change if its going to change. you don't need to leave the top off the bottle.

Being VERY picky about flavors, I know after two vapes if it even stands a chance. Most are in a baggie waiting for me to put on PIF.

Steeping is kind of like when people would paint the edge of a CD with a green magic marker so the bits wouldn't leak out and the music sounded better...

Hey man,
You mean you didn't paint the edges green. How did you keep the bits in?
Guess it was really a stupid question, but I see so many posts where people let the stuff steep & they say the flavor got better.
I figure if it works it works, otherwise it is trade bait.

LOL

Absolutely!! letting certain juices steep will defiantly bring out or settle flavor. Depending on the vendor and order, your juice was either mixed right before it was sent out. Or it has been sitting on a shelf for a while. You can defiantly tell when you vape outta the box, which is fresh and which has been hanging out. I have had flavors that were too intense with sharp, chemy tastes. Come back to them 2 weeks later and they have smoothed out, and the flavor had exploded.Other times flavors were way to strong. Gave them time and they mellowed out. Opening the bottle will just speed up the process a little. Keep them open for a couple days then seal them up and forget about them. Come back in a week or two to a wonderful surprise.

Its pretty obvious that fresh juices need to settle. You have never gotten a juice that changed color? I got some samples last week that were completely clear when i got them. Now some have a pink or yellow tint to them. One is straight up orange! When this happens you know you are getting a fresh mix.

Quote from a favorite supplier that comes with ever order.

" Nicotine,flavors and bases are all within expiration dates of one year. Liquids may last longer, but the nicotine strength will start to degrade at that point. For maximum freshness, we suggest you use your products within 6 months.
Color change is normal in many liquids. Many start out clear and will turn brownish or orangey in the weeks following mixture.
Flavors may intensify or mellow over time, coming into final flavor in 1 to 2 weeks."

I agree with this. You should shake the bottle well and then leave the cap and dropper tip off overnight. Replace lid and dropper, shake well and leave in a cool dark place for 1-2 weeks for best flavor. It is just like steeping tea or any other food or beverage. Time is your friend with ejuice flavors.

EDIT- Leaving the lid off overnight speeds the steeping process.
