Steeping LF eliquids

[cignada]

Just wondering what you recommend as general steeping times for LF eliquids? Different for all VG vs all PG. Blends? Cap off? I think it is important that vendors explain and share their experience and knowledge.. You know your eliquids, and what it takes to have excellent vaping experience. You are a great vendor...I think alot of us would like a more firm idea on the matter of eliquids.. I`m not much of tinkerer or much for the trial and error method.. Keep up the good work!!... Thank you in advance.....

Cignada (what a cool username) -

The Original Line and the Decadent Vapours line don't generally require steeping at all. The USA Premium Blend we tend to order more frequently, and in smaller batches. After receiving a new batch, I think the flavors may benefit from some steeping. I generally just let them sit with the cap off (out of the sun), for a few days, or until they darken up. But ultimately, it's gonna come down to personal preference. I don't think there is any one-size-fits-all solution.

It'd be nice if we could get a discussion going here. I'd be interested to hear what everyone else thinks.

I just asked a question like this in the newbie forum.. I got Fireball and tried it the minute it came in and only now learned about steeping.. I've had it for a couple weeks now and been vaping it without steeping and it tastes fine as a peppery flavor but I'm missing the candy flavor I expected.. Will steeping help with that?

If you've had it for a couple weeks, it has steeped already. I figure it only takes a day or two. I leave mine with the cap off if the bottles are freshly prepared, and after two days, the liquid doesn't get any darker, and I don't notice any improvement if I leave it longer.

I don't use Fireball myself... I've never been a fan of Cinnamon or Mint/Menthol flavors.

Just wanted to update here.. Recently changed my carto and I guess due to a recent illness my taste buds were fried.. New carto and fresh Fireball and MUCH better flavor.. Very happy now lol

Thanks!
