Steeping or breathing??

[BigCatDaddy]

I made 2 bottles of ejuice, a cinnamon graham craker flavor, one 10%, one 15% flavor. Both smell really good in the bottle but litlle to no flavor when vaped. I gave them a hot bath and shook them until I thought my arms would fall off. So now I'm going to let them sit for a couple of weeks. Should this flavor be left in a closed bottle to steep or in an open bottle to breathe??

I would suggest a closed bottle since you're not getting rid of a flavor. You want to seal in the flavors so keep them capped.

I agree with DetraMental, I only leave the cap off for overnight or up to as long as 24 hours if I'm trying to evaporate an alcohol or chemical smell. I've only had to do that once or twice and never to my DIY juice.

Cheers,
Steve

That's what I was thinking, but sometimes my thinking gets me in trouble so I thought I'd ask. Much appreciated!!

I was wondering why I've read some say to breathe and others say to steep, those sound like good reasons to let them breathe.
Many thanx!!

I'd pull some out and cut it with unflavored base.

Get yourself one of these mini mixers and use the froth attachment for near instant gratification. It wont replace a good hard steep but it will get some air in the mix to speed up the steeping and help bring the flavors together. You will have to mix the juice in something with a wide enough neck but it's so worth the hassle of doing this.
