Steeping Your E-Liquid / E-Juice

[Ryan_NYC]

Could someone pls explain whether the steeping process can still occur after e-liquid has been dropped onto polyfill material (like the kind you'd find in a disposable e-cig or even in a rebuildable)... or do flavors steep better in the bottle? Thanks.

Do a search, there are plenty of topics about steeping.

Any change from steeping should be when it's done in the bottle, once you drip it into a carto or dripper whatever's there will not change. That is if you don't leave the juice in your carto long enough to start to dry out....

Well, since I'm terrible about having *way* too many clearos filled with various juices at once because I trade off flavors like a maniac, I can confirm that some liquids do continue to 'steep' while in a a clearo over several days. I chalk it up to nicotine oxidizing, alcohol evaporating, and the sometimes inevitable changes that flavors undergo with the frequently heating/cooling of the coil. Not with every juice, but with some of them. As with everything taste related, though, YMMV. If you can taste a difference over time with the same clearo/carto, then for you they do continue to steep.

I steep in the bottle, one night with the cap off, then a hot bath for 8 hours if I'm really in a hurry, and 8 hours in a turbo tumbler for bullet cleaning.

Yes, I did do a search. To re-word the question asked: Does steeping still continue to take place on a molecular level whether it be in a bottle or pre-soaked into polyfill material? The steeping process is thoroughly explained but that specific question is not addressed in the forum, or at least those forums available to a new member. If you have a moment & might be able to shed some knowledge on the subject it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm sure it continues on a molecular level after being put in the tank. I can't see how it would change just because you're changing the type of container.
