Alright, so I have been vaping for just about 2 months now and I have some madvapes TopVapor citrus juices that both steeped for two weeks each with the dropper top and screw cap off and have been vaped on and off ever since. I know that fruit juices are known for not having much of a TH but these pack a perfect TH considering I was a menthol smoker.
I received some juices this past Saturday that are supposed to have an aggresive TH and they don't have one at all, especially the menthol tobacco flavor I ordered. The MadVapes juices I ordered actually have more VG in them than my new juices so I can eliminate that there isn't enough PG.
I don't remember if my MadVapes juices had a TH when I first got them because I wasn't really paying attention, but now that I don't have TH, I really miss it.
Will letting my new juices steep for a few weeks give me the TH I ordered?
I'd rather not add anything to my juices (such as menthol drops or PGA) because I don't want to reduce the nic and VG levels.
I really don't want to contact the vendor complaining about the TH that I'm not getting unless this situation cannot be remedied at home.

Steeping helps everything diffuse into the solution so it definitely couldn't hurt, right? I would think different vendors naturally display some differences in TH, as well as a difference displayed in flavors across the same vendor.

It might help if you respond with what vendor and flavor you are having the issue with so others familiar with that juice could more specifically help.

The new juices that I just received (the ones without the TH) were from Vapor Renu. The flavors were That Sticky Icky!, Tobacco Breeze Menthol and Mt. Dew Baja Blast. I know that these juices are made-to-order and are very fresh right out of the postage box.
I'm not sure how old the MadVapes juices are though since they are not made-to-order.
So from what I understand, letting juices steep is kind of like letting a marinara sauce? The longer I let it cook, or steep, the better all of the ingredients will be?

The Italian in me got a huge kick out of this ! Yes exactly.

Oxygenating and shaking will get you there faster. Shake shake shake it often, and cap off overnight in a safe place. Still not a bad idea to contact the vendor to inquire so at least you register on the radar about it early.

*...letting a marinara sauce merry.* I guess if I'm going to be a smart .... then I should probably finish my sentences huh?
I am going to contact the vendor, but I don't want him to think I don't love the product because I do. Everthing else is perfect except this TH ordeal. And I did kind of have a feeling that the TH will come out eventually. I mean, $7.50 for 30mL of USA made juice, you just can't beat that anywhere.

In my experience, unless there is a strong aromatic (menthol, licorice, clove, etc.) steeping really never helped TH very much if at all. More like the marinara, resting allows the flavors to blend and mellow (unless there are hot pepper flakes in it :). Though I know you don't want to add anything, vodka can be added in small amounts to increase TH or there is a product called TH Plus which, when added in small amounts, can greatly increase the hit. Either should work without reducing your flavors or nic levels perceptibly. Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

Where do you get TH plus? I have some juice that I really love with almost no throat hit and I'm sorry but I gotta have TH or I'm not a happy camper
