Very interesting that you posed this question because a few weeks ago I mixed up some Desert Ship and dripped it to taste a few hours after, and while I didn't think it was bad at all, still I was not in love. Tried it via direct drip again a few days later and same thing .. it was ok .... Well, about a week ago I filled a cartomizer with it and forgot about it until today, and suddenly I really love Desert Ship. I can't swear that steeping in the cartomizer did the trick, but I definitely found it way more enjoyable than before.
