steeping advice

[johnyg63]

Hi everyone

just ordered some flavours to mix my own juice, but confused about steeping? do u leave the opened undiluted bottle to steep or do you make your flavour up with your base liquid and then let steep? sorry for being a bit thick on this lol


thanks

Honestly, I have no idea about mixing but steeping gives the liquids/flavours chance to blend so I'm guessing you mix up your flavor give it a shake and leave it to rest/steep for a while

Let us know how it turns out!

Put it somewhere warm for a day or two, helps speed things up. I put em Under the laptop in a Baggie. Cap off for a few days if they there's any alcoholic or overpowering smells.

As said above, after you have mixed it caps off and somewhere dark and warm for a week should do it.

Some juices dont seem to need steeping at all, some a couple of days and some a week or two. I have heard of people say that they have juices which improve after weeks and even months of steeping, but i am nowhere near that patient. I give it 2 weeks max and if i dont like the taste of it by then it's had it's chance!

I tend to nuke mine in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with warm water right after mixing. Certainly helps meld the flavours faster.

I also use it for speed steeping. There are a couple of threads (the main one is very long) in one of the main forum areas that discusses it in depth.

To give an example though, we bought an RY4 not long after we started vaping and it was gak!

Happened to be reading up on ultrasonic steeping so thought i would give it a go. After a either two or four hours in the US cleaner (equiv of 4 weeks steeping by all accounts) it was lush!

Speaking of ultrasonic cleaners does anyone recommend any? I got one from aldi and it broke after a couple of uses

The JPL Ultra 7000 seems to be recommended quite a few places. Seen it on eBay for around £32, and Maplin has it for £29.99
Not too bad price IMHO... I'm tempted to get one myself.

Oh and... before you are tempted to get the bargain $18 one on FastTech Battery Powered Ultrasonic Wave Cleaner for Jewelry and Eyeglasses: FastTech Forums
