'Steeping' TV juice: Which ones need it, which ones don't?

[Burto1945]

Hi there--

I am in the process of stocking up on TV juices, I just can't stop. Over the past few weeks I have ordered many bottles on special, and now I have them on hand. My question to those with some TV experience: Which flavors do you feel can be vaped immediately, and which ones should be set aside for 1-2-3-4 weeks? Here are the flavors I have on hand, any recommendations are welcome.

(I am aware that almost ALL the flavors will benefit from waiting for awhile, I am just looking for opinions as to which ones I could crack open and sample now. I'm getting antsy for some TV! )

Received Monday, July 12:
Cafe Mocha
Amaretto Stone Sour
Pina Colada

Received Saturday, July 17:
Atomic Cinnacide
Blue Bulls
Boston Creme Pie
Geoff's Blend
Tastyfinger
Cherry Cola

Not yet received:
Banana Creme Pie
Kretek
Mojito
Blueberry Waffles (I know there are no opinions yet, just listing it)
TV Custom Co-op (Thanks VaporingQueen!)

All of them are 12mg, 80/20 PG/VG, if that makes any difference. I figure I should wait at least a week for all of them, but which ones can I take out first? Thanks for any help!!

In my experiences out of those listed

Tastyfinger + atomic cinnacide were ready from the start
Mojito + cafe mocha needed a week-week and a half
Kretek needed around two weeks...and it continued to get better every other week afterwards.

I actually set pina colada aside and forgot about it...so I have no idea how long it sat.

I think anything with dairy benefits the most from sitting a good long while. I know some of the co-op flavors qualify.

I thought Tastyfinger tasted like vaping a stick of butter at first. I loved it a couple of weeks later.

This is just an example of how subjective flavors are between people.
I thought mojito was good right out of the box. Just a little more minty then it ends up being in the end.

I have heard a lot of people say tastyfinger is good the first day, but all I can taste is the chocolate.

I liked cherry cola right away, but it needs to sit so the cherry comes out more.

I've had Amaretto stone sour for 4-5 weeks and it still doesn't taste great to me on 3.7V. It's good at 6V though.

The first day I got Geoff's blend, I put it in a carto and took a few puffs off it and I hated it. It tasted like...spicy bubble gum or something. I have had it sitting for about 2 weeks now and I haven't picked it up again.

Boston Cream Pie wasn't bad out of the box, I can taste all the flavors, but mostly the chocolate.

You have a lot more patience than I. I get so excited about trying the new flavors that I usually try everything the first day I receive them. I am also interested in how the flavors change over time. My advice is, stop torturing yourself and open something!!!! If you try it and don't like it, put it away for a week, and move on to the next flavor! Good luck!

I liked the Cherry Cola on day one, but as it aged it got a little too strong for me. If you like AC, you will like Cherry Cola a little better in a week or two.

I loved the Banana Cream Pie, tasty finger and Cafe Mocha from day one.

Boston Cream pie got much better with age.

I don't care for AC, just not a cinnamon fan.

Pina Colada tasted better after a week or two.

The others, I received as samples that were already aged, so I can't really say about those.

I felt the same way about tastyfinger. Cherry Cola needed about a week.

Most juices are mostly fine from day one like Apple Cider. BNB needs it bad. I bought a doubler and 48mg bottle a little over a week ago and tried it when I first got it and was disappointed. It didn't taste at all like I remember. I just tried it today and it tasted just like the juice that I love.

Great advice, thats exactly what I do.

I just got the vanilla, no taste at all. I'll try again later. The chocolate is weak, but i still mixed a hard hitting chocomint ;-). i'll just wait for that bottle to mature as i vape it.

The butter cream actually has pretty decent flavor already, and cappucino, but they both seem they need to be steeped a little bit.

Peppermint was excellent out of the box

I loved Pina colada from day one but it improves every day - my bottles of that usually don't last more than 2 weeks oops haha but from experience I'd say it doesnt require a long 'maturation' time.
Banana cream pie I also liked from day 1 but that again improved as the days (not weeks) passed.
For me the AC was smoother after a couple of weeks - Im not a mad fan of cinamon either although it blends well with TV Tobacco imo. There's nothing wrong with AC - if you love cinamon you'll love AC but being a Brit I like subtle cinamon It was fine on day 1, just wicked strong.
Haven't had the others you mention.

really cos I thought Mojito was too lime at first. Then quickly it marries together and I am smoking it like a fiend

 

[Raechel]

Update on Mojito. The lime dissipated for me. The alcohol / mint flavors dominated with long steeping times. No longer a fave of mine, but taste is subjective

My personal thoughts on steeping is, I dont do it much anymore, I think its a bunch of nonsense too, ya juice may get a bit better after say 2 weeks or so, but for the most part heck I want fresh juice anymore, I built up such a collection of juice that it was a huge waste of money since it is going bad now, a lot of it too. From now on I buy my daily vapes on a monthly basis and or when I'm getting low, no more spending huge amounts on juice and putting it away to steep, if its not good after 2 weeks of steeping it isn't ever gonna be good, and I'm finding I like fresh better now a days, if it's good stuff to my taste buds it's vapable to me with in a week or so, I know I will here a bunch of killer MWA comments here on this, but its just my personal vaping experience and thoughts so theres nothing wrong with liking fresh juice over stuff that is 6-9 months old is there, nope,,,, I also think its a huge marketing ploy to buy more juice and "LET IT STEEP" Nonsense to me, like I said it's either vapable when it comes in the mail or with in a week or it hits the trash from here on out for me.

 

[Raechel]

Well Kretek does taste very different after it steeps more than 2 weeks (like at the month point). I personally can't vape it because freaky me sneezes while vaping it and no one else has this problem. I have other flavors that get deeper too. Not a marketing ploy. It is the users that started saying it. But there is nothing wrong with fresh juice. I do not *just* let mine steep as a rule. I vape plenty of them fresh.
