If you need to use tge juice almost immediately steep the juice 24-48 hours.

I make my juice so i dont need to use tge new bottle for a week or two.

The juice in the bottle the flavors have a chance to merge and blend. This way i dont run the risk of contamination getting in the bottle.

I steep naturally, because I use big bottles. By the time the first bottle is empty, the second one is ready. Welcome to the board.

I don't steep intentionally. I run a two bottle system. When one bottle (125ml) is empty, I make another. By the time I empty the second bottle, the newly made one is ready. I don't breathe them.

I like Flavor Apprentice for mine. They're careful to label Diketone content. Plus I've had good luck with them. You may find this chart useful: Flavor Percentage Recommendations

Keep exposure to air.at a minimum.
Do taste test after mixing. Some recipes are fine 'green". Gives you a baseline.
Use warm water bath about 130°F for 30 min. Taste after water bath. Will be different. Shake & store.
Due to varying age of components it's impossible to give exact aging times..

Hi all,
I'm new in vaping & trying to make my own juice.
Suggest me maximum time of breathing after mixing & minimum time to keep it in dark place before using.

Welcome to ECF

Breathing and steeping are 2 different things.

Breathing is airing off unwanted alcohol or chemical taste and this is done with the cap off for about 24 hours.

Steeping is maturing a mix over time usually 1 - 6 weeks. Or you can speed steep with heat and vibration. This is all explained in my "everything you wanted to know about steeping" blog which is mentioned above or you can link to them here.

I let breathe for 2 hours, then warm bath for 1-2 hours, then steep for 4-14 days, depending on the flavors. Like others have said though, if you mix a batch before you need it, steeping takes care of itself.

I use mostly Capella, Flavor Art, and TFA. Welcome to ECF!

I've moved the New Members thread to the DIY forum and Merged the two.

Hope this doesn't cause too much confusion.

I browsed capella site Capella Flavors, Inc : Concentrated Multi-Purpose Flavoring
Can I use all off them for vaping or some of them are for food purpose only ???
