I was wondering if there are certain vendors that you do not need to steep their juices. Also, if there are vendors where you will definitely need to steep their juices. Or does it just depend on the type of juice you are buying? Maybe there are not such clear cut rules for steeping, but if anyone has any info on this, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you. I guess the best thing is to just try them initially and if you don't like the taste then let it steep for a while. I just like being able to start vaping it as soon as I get it. You get so excited to get it in the mail its a big disappointed to have to wait another 1-2 weeks to enjoy it. I really want to try Kickbass and I have my first Alien Vision order arriving today.

E-liquid that is specifically made for 'you' where you pick the pg/vg ratio and nicotine level usually need to steep. Simple e-liquids that contain 1-2 flavorings probably less time than more complex flavorings that benefit from a little aging.

Suppliers that keep mixed e-liquid on hand or suppliers that have e-liquid mixed for them have already been steeped by the time you get it.

You will find the same thing if you ever do DIY. When you make a fresh batch of e-liquid for yourself it's better after a few days.

I've not purchased juice from too many different places, so my experience is limited, in my case:

Blue Mist Vaping--needs steeping, the longer the better...I had one flavor from them (rootbeer float) that was vapable right out of the mailbox, but Vanilla Cream and Cafe Carmel needed some serious steepage (is that a word) in fact I've had them for probably close to 2 months now, and just today re-tried the Cafe Carmel and it finally tastes good to me.

EC Blends--excellent right out of the mailbox

Mt. Baker Vapor--excellent right out of the mailbox

DIY Juices I'm having mixed results with, my current Hawaiian Punch was good right away, and remains pretty much unchanged. My watermelon, not so much.

It is hard to wait when a new juice arrives, I always get right into it for a taste.

Stormy's Vapor cellar juices are great right out of the mail box. Matter of fact they are My primary supplier for near about everything Vapeage. I've actually ordered from them on Saturday afternoon and had my package in my box Monday. Always fast shipping and always use "10off" for 10% discount on everything. For a cost per ml vs quality you cant go wrong there.

I just ordered from them one day because they are fairly close to Arkansas where I'm is at...uhhuh sho nuff
