Steeping -- Pet Peeve

[lvkid7]

There are 3 things that bother me most about steeping

1) You have to order your juices so far in advance - when you are a brand new vaper and you have a grand total of ZERO juice this is a huge problem. And even when you've been vaping for a while, you don't want to buy a big bottle of a juice you haven't tried yet so you get a smaller size. Then you wait for it to arrive in the mail. Then you steep it. Then you try it and like it. So you order a bigger size and have to wait for that to arrive.... and then steep that one! It's a whole month before this process is done!

2) Vendors should advise you about steeping - maybe just a little note on the bottle label or the receipt about how long they suggest you steep their juice. As a new vaper I had no idea and maybe wasn't getting the best flavor out of my juices!

3) There should be more "pre-steeped" juices - more popular juices should be made in advance and steeped beforehand so you can use them right out of the box. Some vendors do this with their "samples" but I want a 30ml size, not one where I can fill my vivi nova once and it's gone!

I guess when I finally have a whole dresser full of juices this won't be so much of a problem, but as a 3 month vaper I'm still having to try to "get ahead". Good luck!

When I first began vaping I bought 30 wide ranging samples. Out of those 30 I liked 10- this sampling was done in a time frame of 1 1/2 days. Once I had an idea of the juices I liked- tobacco, desserts, coffee, etc I immediately ordered another 20 and out of those I liked 10…so out of 50 different flavors I liked 20. Months later I tried those 30 samples that I disliked and enjoyed all but one. Whether it was because my tastes had changed or they needed steeping I don’t know.

Since I haven't seen anyone advise the OP (original poster) about the crackly noises, that's the sound a fresh, new carto makes. At first that sound freaked me out until someone told me what it was.

After 15 posts you can also add the counter at the bottom of your post. My tobacco/ RYO (roll your own) was cheap as I bought it on the Reservation- $12.00 per carton.

Have never tried it but I don't see why not.

Sensitivity to PG is an issue for some. If the 100% VG is too thick you can thin it with a tiny amount of distilled water.

All I can say about steeping is...I can't wait long enough. I do DIY and all I do is give my juices a hot water bath once they're mixed. I do about 30 min in cooling, boiling water and then take them out, give them a shake, and once they cool to room temp...they're ready. I've even tried additional steeping from there and it doesn't change any of the flavor, so give that a shot with a new juice that you don't feel is up to par.
