Steeping Required vs. Getting Bad Juice?

[C.M. Wilson]

Had my first real experience with a juice being great in the store only to get it home and being unvapable. I bought some Voda Irish Latte, it tasted amazing to me at the shop, a flavor that I had really been trying to find in juice. When I tried it at home what I had bought was absolutely horrible, terrible chemically, plasticy taste! I can't imagine any way possible that the stuff in my bottle at home will ever taste anything like what I sampled.

My first experience with this, will this likely "steep" into what I thought I was getting or what?

It might take a month or more...don't give up on it!

C.M. I have a Strawberry - Melon from a local B&M that is exactly like you decribed. In the shop the juice was great, I bought 30 ML and it was terrible.

A month later it turned a nice golden brown and is excellent.

Some juices I bought on line tasted bad when received, steeped for over a month and ended tossing in the trash.

I left the cap off for 24+ hours and it seemed to smell much better after I sealed it up and gave it a helluva shake!

I'm impatient, going to give it the hot water steeping treatment a couple of times and then maybe give it another shot.

I know this is going to be a little over the top but it works.

A sawzall works great for putting a major shakedown on a bottle of juice in just a few minutes.

Some people also use an ultrasonic cleaner to help steep their juice.

Not sure anything can save a truly awful juice, but generally if the juice has two or more components steeping will help bring out the full/true flavor. This is especially true with the tobaccos, which all seem to get better with some steeping IMO.

When I get something that needs steeping I rice steep it. Works like a charm for anyone that is patience challenged like myself. lol. If you want inst. for rice steeping just pm me.

why does everyone use the word steep when it comes to improving the taste of the juice? Steeping is the process of extracting a flavor from a solid as it is soaked in a liquid... as in you steep tea...
come on people... lets age the juice as in one ages wine

i had a similar experience. i had only been vaping for a week or so before i went to a b&m and went straight for the coffee juices - their cappuccino, meh. but the one labeled just "coffee" was amazing. one puff and i told the girl to wrap a bottle up.
got it home. vaped it.
i might as well have put some dawn dish soap in my tank.
so, like you, i thought "how the hell is letting this muck sit going to make dish soap taste like coffee?"
but i let it sit and tried it every few days. (because i was really impatient to taste what i'd tasted in the store)
every few days i vaped dawn dish detergent. disgusting.
after 3 weeks or so. the chemical/perfume taste started to go away
a week after that, the dish soap flavor went away and left....nothing. no flavor whatsoever.
today i tried it (after debating on whether or not to just throw the junk away) and ... coffee!
it's still not what it was in the store so i think i'll give it a few more days. but still, from dish soap to a pretty good coffee, i'll take it.
(oh yeah, i also left the cap off of it for at least 5 days in the beginning)
if it gets all the way back to what it was in the store i'll go back for more (because i'll need those 5 to 6 weeks to steep it until my current stash runs out)
hope this helps a little.

You need to let the bottle of e-liquid breath, like wine. The bad odors are caused by carriers used for the flavorings.
