LOL. Fill your favorite carto/clearo and stop fretting. Have you tried to hurry the process of aging?

Please share how!! Love to know. I tried putting juice bottles in hot tap water in a glass..no dice. I have heard about someone using an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner?!?!?! I don't have one, don't know how to use one but totally willing to get it and learn if it truly works!
You can boil the bottles to speed up the process. I've also read that some people actually microwave their flavors though I myself have never tried it.
Some juices are decent right from the mail box... they (usually all) frequently get better with aging, but you can vape them right away and they taste OK. The trick is to buy lots of juice... so you have some to age, some to use immediately.
After awhile, you have a rotation... new that needs aging, 2-3 weeks old, 3-6 weeks old and so on. I've got over 1300mls of juice at various stages, in different groups, based on age time.
Like S&S says... fill er' up and don't worry about it. You'll get there. ;-)

The below link will go over most of it, but you basically put your bottle in cleaner and cycle it over and over again... ultrasonic stuff.. I have used the microwave method with some success, pull the cap and tip off and put in microwave for about 3-4 seconds.. pull out shake vigorously, then recap and drop in cold water while still hotish and repeat prolly 5-10 times, careful if you leave it in too long you can melt the plasitc and or burn your hand..

I always vaped my new flavors before I bothered to throe out the boxes from my vapemail....
Anything that tasted great, I kept vaping, the bottles that were so-so got put on the side until needed, (great stuff ran out) they were steeped enough at that point....

Is Five Pawns good from the mail box in that what I read they r premixed in a barrel?
Drives me nuts also - gotta get used to buying ahead of time, and finding new flavors that others have already tried and said were great first..saves on some disappointments..
that's why you buy multiple flavors. some taste better than others out of the mail
I hate steeping so much that Ive gone to just about all fruit flavors. Most of them have 2 to 4 fruit flavors added in them and other than a hot water bath and a shake, no steeping required, although some are best after 3 days.....by just a tad.
Johnson Creek's liquids taste the way they're supposed to taste right out of the mailbox, every time, from the top of the bottle to the bottom.
Mt. Baker's liquids may or may not require some time to "get there." Some are great right away, some aren't.
I am amazed at how Boba's Bounty changes from what initially tastes like a raisin bran cookie into a remarkably rich pipe tobacco flavor. But boy, does it take a while.

Just make sure you are using glass bottles. Plastic ones can leach stuff into the eliquid. ugh. Not sure about the microwave. Not tried that either.
There's another thread asking for help with steeping. It had a link to this blog that has a good overview with different methods you can use, including some to help speed up the process. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/dannyv45/5010-everything-you-wanted-know-about-steeping-then-some.html
As others said, once you build up a collection of liquid, steeping is less of a problem... unless you run low on your favorite juice and realize you haven't reordered it yet.. done that... sigh.

Yes Five Pawns is pre-steeped. Good to go out of the mail.
I have four that require super long steeping and my patience is running out. It's going on four weeks and I've read some of mine can take 3 months! UGH! I have others to vape, no biggie but I'm getting anxious to try them again. First try..BLICK, YUCK
I agree, steeping is [moderated]
You can age a bottle of wine if you want to, but most of the time it's good enough when you buy it. I believe most makers bottle their wines with the assumption that the consumer is going to drink it right away. I can't stand waiting around 2-3 weeks for my juices to "mature". It's just not right to torture us like that... I need to get my vape on!!

I would assume that is also what Ahulsions express juices are also- pre-mixed-no steeping required?
Good question! I think it depends on which one. Some peeps say it takes off 2 weeks worth of steeping and some flavors need even more time that that. I got the Blueberry Vanilla Cake today and it looks pretty dark. All 7 of my other juices from them are very light color.
I'd say, the Express could be tried right away and probably great but maybe even better with a little more time? Who knows. I'm new to Ahl myself!
