I also make my own e
juice. One thing I've learned in my expirence, steeping can mature and bring out certain flavors yes, however if it's bad in the beginning, usually no amount of steeping is going to make it better. ..also you might want to try a sweetener. It REALLY Brings Out certain flavors such as fruits and melons! A absolutely wonderful sweetener is Stevia. Provided you buy the pure stevia in a base of vg.KAL makes a excellent Stevia liquid.it's in a base of Kosher vg and water. No other additives are present. It provides a clean sweetness without any after taste or effect of
juice flavoring. I find it a great asset! It will REALLY enhance your juices! You might consider purchasing some for your mixes. It won't disapoint.however make certain it's in a vg base. Like KAL sells. Hope this helps.
