Steeping confusion

[Grimwald]

I pretty new at this, but everything has changed for me. I ordered samples from HHV and some others...mostly tobacco flavors. I took advise from this forum and waited about a week or 10 days and started trying them...and I was disappointed. Way too sweet and some sort of cocoa flavor, not like tobacco at all. Now, after another week or so, they are completely different...not sweet...and more like tobacco. So, here are my questions. How long do you usually let these things steep and at some point do they stop...or do they continue to change? Should I stock up, or only order what I might use in a month or so? Frankly it's all very confusing.

I was just wondering the same questions you have. I have not changed juices since I started vaping two years ago and unfortunately relapsed to analogs but now i'm back to vaping. Now I am trying to find some new juices. Thanks for bringing it up.

If you wait another week they'll be sweet again. They have fairy dust in them.

Oh, I hope not...they're just getting good. One thing I've discovered is I don't know what I like but it ain't sweet.

Try the Goodejuice House brewed line. All tobacco, all the time. Don't order GJ4 or Apple Cured though, they could be construed as "sweet".

I'll put those on the list...I'm trying a lot of different companies and flavors. But, I'm still wondering about steeping and how these flavors change and for how long. I want to be prepared for that magical day when I actually find the perfect vape. I suppose that will be several months from now because I will have to let it steep for a couple of weeks, then let it steep some more to see how it changes, then let it steep some more to see if it gets worse or better...then order more and let that steep...it seems to be a never ending process...or is it?

Your own sense of taste changes quite a bit when switching to vaping. You may even get to a point in the next few weeks where you can't taste any of your vaping flavors.

Were you just leaving them sit on your shelf with the lids on? Or did you take the lids off when you had them? It may have taken that long if you kept the lids on during the process.

The consensus is to put them in a very hot bowl of tap water and let it cool to room temperature.
Then, give the bottle a good shake, remove the lid and store it in a dark closet for about two days.
Shaking a time or two during that time is probably a good idea.

You can try the joose after that time, but it's probably a good idea to replace the lid and let them
continue to steep in the dark. I just keep mine in the dark anyway, whether or not they need more
steeping.

Some flavors are good right out of the chute, some need a couple days, some need a couple weeks,
and some need half your life span - mostly the tobacco flavors.
