I have 6 new juices, they are about 10 days old now and I must say they still have a weak flavor. So I did some searching online. Yesterday afternoon I shook them real good took tops and tips off, let them sit over night. Again this morning I shook them real good and put them back in the draw, again I done the same thing a few minutes ago. Well some of them have a better smell but still not a good flavor. What I don't understand when my friend mixes me some juice at a 70pg/30vg blend I can start vaping it right away, she mixing them when I get there, so they have not been steeping. The only reason I started ordering my juice online was more flavors, and 30mls is less than $8.00 when I was paying $15 for 30mls. What is the difference between hers, and the ones online?

There is a method of getting rid of the perfumey / alcoholy (if that make sense) taste from liquid that is mixed within hours of making it.

This is what I do:
Once I make a bottle I give it a really good shake (couple of minutes - vigorously)
Take the top off of bottle I just made and rest it inside of a shot glass
Fill the shot glass up with water to the point where it is at the level of eliquid in my bottle
Put the shot glass on a coffee cup warmer
I then leave the bottle there for about 4 hours, taking it out every hour or so and give it a good shake

Using this method gets the liquid vapeable, but the flavor isn't fully matured. Keeping it a cabinet for a few days after seems to help with the flavor, but not by much.

Hope this helps

Did you even read the OP?

My guess is that your friend uses a higher % of flavoring than the vendor you're using online.

Maybe is she is using more flavor, I am still new at this vaping is why I post things here to get feedback from other vaping people who have more knowledge then myself.
What is op?
Nevermind I found the forum glossary, that thing comes in handy know that I know where it is.

just my two diddly's can u mention the flavors ur vaping.....i know some fruit flavors take no time to steep, where ive had tobacco's that didnt need to steep and some people need tobacco to steep 2+ weeks...overall if ur vaping fruity flavors and get the right PH with lemon juice, vinegar or whatever have ya that you use ( she uses ) you can obtain a great instant vape.

Bettlejuice, mocha, spring break, strawberry, chocolate, (apricot and pear vaped from mail)
And as for my friend, I have watch her mix some of my juices,(I have never mixed anything so just guessing what she uses) she uses 4 things I am guessing pg, vg, nic, and flavor, but I could be wrong.
