Steeping Juices

[loislolalane]

So, today I discovered the greatness that is steeping e-liquid. I purchased a pack of five from a popular site that is also a B&M in my area. They handmade them fresh and I thought that was cool so I tried them. The first day they were outright... Skunky. I still can't tolerate the smell of two of them because of how horrible the vaping experience was. That was four days ago. I took the tops off and left them in the room that is darkest for the longest period of time-- my bathroom-- where they stayed until just a few minutes ago. Now I'm getting the flavors instead of... Skunk funk... And I'm thrilled! Can't wait to try the rest again!

I DIY, and I always stay a month ahead of myself, so they are well steeped.
Fruits you can almost vape right away, but I wouldn't touch a tobacco until it's a good month old.
Glad you found the secret early into vaping.
Now don't use them all up before buying again. Get ahead of yourself

So I know steeping with the cap off helps the chemicals evaporate bringing out the intended flavors... but I would like to know what are the main differences between steeping uncapped or simply leaving the cap on. My biggest concern is for steeping a cherry soda flavor which taste like club soda right now... I had a presteeped sample before so im pretty sure it will get better but I was worried that the carbonation affect would maybe go flat if I left the cap off. Anyone have any experience with steeping soda flavors? Thanks

Some leave the cap off overnight to let it "breath".
One reason is a lot of times it is mixed using a flavor with an alcohol base instead PG.
It need to evaporate and leaving the cap off speeds this up.

There is no carbonation in e-juice.
They can use flavoring that give a "fuzzy" sensation, but carbonation in e-juice is impossible ... sorry !

Well thanks for clearing that up. Wasnt sure cuz I had a gv dew red alert I was steeping too and the fizzy effect seems tobe gone after leaving it uncapped too long. It does seem to be darkening some maybe ill wait it out...

I just leave them in my drawer... I dont leave it uncapped. maybe a day or two.

Oh and i also tried heat steeping it yesterday by running my faucet on highest heat...then placed my ejuices in a ziploc and let it steep till the water was cool.. I tasted more flavor.

Im steeping my first 6 juices from MBV right now. I'm on about day 3-4 and I already notice a difference from when I first tried them. Hopefully they continue to improve!

Warmest welcome new found steeper. I found out really quick how important steeping really was.. Some might think I go to an extreme on steeping. First shaken real good, then caps and droppers out. Dark closet 48hrs. Droppers in, caps on, shake again and then in the closet. There they sit for min. 4 weeks.
Really does make certain juices taste HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!
Now I've got so much in reserve that I'm vaping juice that has steeped over 11 months.

 

[Amraann]

How is the stuff that vaped for 11 months?

 

[Mark Anthony]

Some juice needs to be steeped.... Especially the freshly made stuff.

 

[tnt56]

Only one word can describe it. "HEAVENLY" For me it's like my Sweetie. The older she gets, the better she gets. Like a good wine.

I steep in dark and try it each week. Some only take a week some longer it's all about your taste. My rule is when I get to half full bottle I buy another. I stick to about five juices same ones. I will thru a random every couple weeks. The only ready to vape has been the RY4. Welcome and good luck on your venture.

Hello to another RY4 fan. That's some good juice there..

I have been wanting to try an RY4! Where do you get yours from?

[tnt56]

I'll go with this.
Only 2 places I get my RY4 from
Heathers heavenly Vapes. "Heavenly Tobacco"
Aroma ejuice. "RY4 WTA"
I've tried some RY4 from lots of different venders. (Haven't met an RY4 I didn't like at least a little). These two are my favorites.

I find it interesting when you get that flavor that is good right away so you vape it but the flavor changes over the course of the bottle, not necessarily better or worse it just changes, it matures. I've noticed this a lot with complex fruity flavors (juices that aren't just "Stawberry").

I haven't been vaping that long, so I didn't know that could happen, but I suppose that does make sense. The flavors settle or something, I guess. Makes each vape an adventure. (LOL)

Nicoticket juices are like that. Good right out of vapemail but get better with age. It is intriguing the differnce in the juice with time.
