Steeping Juices

[doody]

Hey Guys,

I'm new here, just have a question about steeping juices. I've heard about people not opening their juice bottles after recieving them. Does opening the bottle effect the steeping process?
I'm asking this because I just got a shipment of juice from VaporBomb. So far only 2 of the flavours (cinnabomb and fire n ice) are remotely even vapeable.
The rest are pretty much tasteless like no flavour at all. I can only detect a hint of flavour if I stick my face in the vapour i exhale and sniff deeply.
I was looking forward to the Artic Ice flavour as I really like deep and "cold" menthol flavours.

I'm wondering the same thing! I have 10 samples of juice from one vendor. So far I've tried three and they all taste like perfume in my new Joyetech 510-T kit.... I'm so confused I feel like returning everything and going back to my blu....

I'm no expert on steeping but have found that it really depends on the juice. The flavor with any juice will change over time and steeping really helps some juices come to life. I've purchased a number of juices that weren't vapable out of the envelope and many that I vape as soon as I get them.

My advice is to save the juice. It may taste good again some day. Try to purchase some of the more popular juices here in sample sizes to see what you like. Everyone has their favorites.. it takes a bit of time to find your "all day vape." Also make sure to chect out the juice reviews to see if there are any flavors that appeal to you.

Starting vaping is a bit of a curve getting the equipment and juice that works best for you. I went through a lot of trial and error before finding juices that I could order and be happy with.

Best of luck on your search and don't give up! You'll find one you love before you know it.

Put them in a cool dark place and let them sit for a week or so...like a closet or drawer. Freshly made flavors need to blend together then they will show their true colors. As for removing the tops to let them breathe, it will only help to remove a chemical taste. Oxygen will oxidize the nic...doesn't make your juice go bad but it will darken it.

Vaporbomb is one of my favorites. Give their juice a week and it will be soo much better!

Its been almost 2 weeks since I got the shipment in the mail (including like 6 days it spent getting here). I would have thought that would have been enough steeping time. Still not very impressed.
Do flavors continuously get better as they age/steep? Or is there like a threshold limit on how much the flavors will develop?

Some vendors sell more complex juices. It's all about individual taste.. one man's pleasure is another man's poison so to speak. If you really do not like the juice I suggest that you find another as there is no guarantee that it will change its flavor dramatically. My first juice order tasted like perfume when I ordered it and tasted like weak perfume 6 months later.
