Steeping really does make a difference

[yohann976]

I have a 10ml bottle that I use for when I'm traveling. I usually just top it off before a trip. Well, I kind of forgot about it for a month and it's been sitting behind some socks in my drawer. All I can say is, holy cow! The flavor is amazing! It's a coffee flavor, but I detect a little bit of a cotton candy flavor now (I'm not sure why). I really, really like it though.

Even though it's not the same exact method many use to steep their juices, the principle remains the same. I'm going to do this every time now.

Yes, steeping does make a difference with most juices. I order from one place that makes each bottle fresh. I try them when I get them but usually end up putting them all away for a few weeks or more. It makes a world of difference. Stuff like Dekang doesn't need it in my experience, I guess because it was mixed months ago and was on the slow boat from China anyway. But pretty much any USA juice will improve with age, kind of like a fine wine.

As much as I didn't want this to be true, I think you are right. I don't have a good history with patience so I was hoping it was all in peoples heads. There is some juice I have that is about 6 weeks old and its a lot better now than it was when I got it. But some of the juice I received at the same time tastes the same. Only thing I can think of is that the juice that tastes the same was already aged when I got it.

Maybe some of the cotton from your socks seeped in the bottle.

Seriously, I don't know why this is such a hard theory for some to digest. It's been known and practiced in cooking for ages and mixing a juice recipe is the same concept, we're just vaping instead of eating.

I was thinking the same thing, hahaha. I'm still experimenting with new flavors, so I want to try them immediately as soon as they come in the mail. Patience is a virtue that I must use now.

I guess e-juice is like a fine wine, lol.

I just try to shake the bottle really hard, lol. You're right though, it's the same concept as cooking.
