steeping advice

[chrisvapo]

I sure hope this steeping thing has some merit, i tried my ry4dbl after mixxing and uggh not right? but i tried it 5 mins after shaking....i really hope it improves cause i love vendor ry, i am new to diy {vapin bout a year} My peach was great out of the gate so some flavors dont require steep? any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. i made a menthol bottle at 5% it was a decend but slightly weak on sample but i have read menthol gets strong quickly and not to add more til steeps.....

My main questions are..
1 what flavors need most steep time?
2how long to steep?
3 well 3 is any advice in general on this subject?

if it helps all my flavors were from TPA....if u think another site is better please also throw me a tip

Thanks Guys \nn/ vape on

1) Rich, complex flavors seem to need the most time that I've noticed. Chocolate, caramel, and most tobacco flavors are in this group--but I have one caramel that settles down almost immediately and vapes tolerably well immediately after mixing.

2) Incredibly variable. Menthols may only need a day or two, but are better at one week. Some flavors may need a month to settle down. Most seem to be in the 1 to 2 week range.

3) If you search here, there's plenty of steeping methods. I follow the open bottle occasionally, otherwise let sit for a while philosophy, which is minimal effort and works well enough.

A great tip for steeping seems to me is to get a ultrasonic cleaner. It reduces steeping times from weeks to hours. You can read about it here:
