steeping technique

[TheC]

Hello everyone

I've been smoking e cigarettes for about a year now recently quit again and bought a new vaporizer

My current setup is the vapouriz tank CE4 clearomizer with their own brand of e juice

I have flavours like USA mix blueberry and cherry
Menthol soy favourite because of the throat hit they are also 18mg

I recently read about steeping got any tips to make my e juices better they are like fresh and new I want them to be stronger

Thanks

Steeping won't necessarily make them stronger. It is used more for helping the flavors blend and become smoother. Steeping seems to help a great deal with the more complex flavors as well as the tobacco flavors. Steeping for a day, a week, or a month can make all the difference for a juice. I recently had a juice that I absolutely hated. I put it on the shelf and after 3 weeks decided to try it again. Now, I can't get enough of it. If you're looking for stronger you just have to try different vendors or possibly try upping your nicotine to 24mg.

If you want to speed up the steeping process you can use hot water and a sonic jewelry cleaner. Not sure how well this works but I just stole my wife's and put in a bottle of Papa Smurf, Capitans Curse and Bryce's Vanilla Creme Custard that I got today. I'll also try letting them sit on the shelf for a week or so but if the reviews I've read are true, none of these will even last a week.

I've just set aside three bottles of juice I'm kinda stuck for strength until after Christmas because that's all they sell in my area so I will order some online do you have any suggestions on the best e liquids strong ones

Any uk sites?

Honestly your going to get a million different on flavors, a very large amount of people will say mount Baker vapor and others will say other sites. My personal favorite is heather's heavenly vapes. They are a local company in the United States but ship international. With steeping though there are many different ways. Best way I found is what days caps and tips off and let sit in a cool dark place then put everything together and shake then store for 2 weeks to a month depending on how you like it and shake the bottles every once in a while. Keep them in that dark place also

I'm gonna give it a go and see what they turn out like.

Cherry is lovely but the strength is mellow menthol is about the only
One that gives a decent hit

Shaking make that much of a difference?

 

[Daniel_c]

Well shaking helps blend the flavor but again you need to let it steep. For example I ordered from heather's heavenly vapes and got blade flavor which is a vanilla mint but when I first tried it, it tasted like a minty burnt piece of wood. Now I am going to start rebuilding heads cause I also think it was an issue with silica. But Yea let it steep and shake. You won't regret doing it

 

[Daniel_c]

Also if you want you can order a couple sample packs from heather's heavenly vapes they are $10 each and you get 4 flavors of your choice that are presteeped and they are 3ml each. They way you can test out what you like and don't like and then buy bulk.

Awesome, what got you into vaping
For me I tried an ego cigarette one day and liked it

Starting smoking it then went back to cigarettes and now vaping again

 

[Daniel_c]

Well I just really had the urge to quit, for me I saw it was becoming a nasty habit and I always knew the e cigarette existed but never wanted to try it. There was a local store here that I went to and like you bought and overpriced piece of Junk inferno starter kit which cost me an arm and a leg and just recently I upgraded to a variable voltage/variable Wattage device called the vamo v5 which is a whole lot better then what I had.

Thanks for the link bud

What are your favourite flavours?

Lol the question should be what kind of flavors do you like, believe me taste is VERY subjective here. Do you like desert flavors or any tobacco flavors, it really depends on what your into. Give me a general idea and I can help you from there

 

[TheC]

From what I've tried I don't want any tobacco flavours . I love menthol fruit anything nice like that I'm happy for any suggestions

 

[Daniel_c]

Well if you want fruits I would start with Crack berry and also try cinful pear or cinful apple. Honestly all of them are good.

I want to try one called arctic lemon and arctic cherry and vs menthol sensation

Where are you seeing those flavors at?

 

[TheC]

A uk site that's where I'm from
Gourmet Recipes : Vape Escape

I bought stuff from there before that was good I got my ego c from there

I normally let mine sit uncapped for a day then I put them away for about a week or two shaking them up every other day or so. then I'll vape a little to see how it taste. If its not to my liking I'll let it sit longer and shake them occasionally. It took almost a month for my 100 ml bottle of Boba's bounty to steep.

 

[Matthew Greenarch]

I've heard that the hot water trick works to speed up the process but I haven't had the courage to try it out.

I've used a "fast steeping" on some juices I didn't like when I got them, they all had that strange perfumey taste/smell. I microwaved some dry rice in a coffee cup for 40 seconds or so, to ~130f. I took the caps off the bottles (I could get four at a time in my cup) and squished them down into the rice and let the whole thing cool to room temp. It got rid of the perfume taste/smell on all of them, and made me change my mind about a few. The others, I guess I just don't like.
