When I got my first sample pack in, out of 5 bottles, I really only cared for 2. Set the ones I wasn't loving aside, and just used the ones I did like. Well, now I'm out of the ones I did like and decided to give the others a go. Just filled my E2 Apollo tank with Cantaloupe Wizard, and it's much better. Still not one I see myself vaping on a regular basis, but no longer bad tasting either.

I'll have to check that out as I may have more volume of liquid that I don't like compared to what I do like and keep in rotation (would even donate to someone in need). Thankfully I've learned to now buy small sample bottles. Unfortunately, I think that I've learned that I'll never like to vape Vanilla (the half a dozen Vanilla flavors that I've tried from different vendors are all similarly gross).

Oh, then you must! No sense letting it (your money and the juice) go to waste. What you might consider gross is likely someone else's favorite. LOL

There are also a couple threads polling on people's favorite juice....some are broken down into groups (I.e. tobacco blends, fruit, dessert, beverages, etc). I found these helpful when beginning as it gave me a little guidance as to who might have what I might like. :)

By 'steep' does it mean just let the bottle sit around awhile? Opened or unopened? Just want to be sure. Thanks.

Steeping is usually 48 hours cap and nipple off. Shake a couple of times a day. Caps back on and put them away for a week or two, shaking them whenever you think about it. Try it out after a week, if it still tastes meh, try it again after another week. Some juices need less time while others need more. I find the more complex the juice, the more time they need to meld the flavors that make up the juice.

Some juices don't need steeping at all. All you can do really, is try it out. If it has a perfume-y or chemically taste, steep it. If I smell the juice, I can tell if it needs steeping since I have my sense of smell back, just by smelling a chemically scent.

It never hurts to steep. :)

By steeping this means let them sit around in a sealed container or un-opened container in the dark. Ive also heard of people running warm water over the desired bottle of juice that you want steeped. Apparently this speeds up the steeping process. Dont quote me on this, its just what Ive heard. Me personaly I like my juice fresh as I can get it and I mean fresh
