Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello! - Part 2

I'm not nearly as sophisticated as EleanorR ( flavor... or taste-wise lol )

On my tobacco's... I steep about a week or a little longer. The differences just show that ultimately it is a personal preference and the only right answer is the one that works for you.

In a pinch, when I can't wait... I'll quick steep a bottle. The following tastes the same to me as steeping for just over a week.


Seal the bottle in a waterproof bag ( the labels on the bottles will run at this time )...
Heat a cup of water in microwave or on stove... ( not hoter than a cup of coffee or the bottle may deform )
Shake bottle vigorously and place in hot water and leave in it until water is cool...

Repeat 3-4 times ( don't forget to shake between each time )

I use a candle warmer with a glass bowl. Let 'em soak for several hours, maybe all night.

The labels will run? I don't want runny labels, they're hard enough to read as it is

Which is the reason for putting them in a waterproof baggy of course...

... if you forget... or perhaps the baggy leaks... a fine line sharpy pen works well to write on what flavor the bottle is

Cracking bottle tips......
Has anyone had a problem with the tips on the 10Ml bottles cracking vertically near the drip hole?
I've had 3 or 4 tips crack causing a bit of a mess inside the cap itself.
Not to mention shaking the juice bottle w/ the cap off, creates a shower of juice.

I had one 30ml bottle that way when I received it. I was told it would be replaced with my next order. I think it is poor quality bottles. I couldn't even use the cracked tip to fill my REO bottles. The juice just sort of leaked.

Thanks bjannr. To bad I'm not the only one w/ cracked tips. Maybe they'll get different bottles when their current supply is depleted.
I've had to transfer the juice to a different bottle.

 

[rdsok]

Why not just transfer a different tip to the bottle? ... I keep a batch of empty ones just for reasons like that ( not that I've had the issue yet )

We had a string of cracked tips that we have hopefully addressed with our latest shipment of drippers. Apologies.

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I dunno how anything on those bottles can split or crack. Hell, I need a vice to drip 3 drops onto my atty! I thought maybe I messed up getting extra flave on my Orange de Sangre, but it has smoothed out nicely and is an awesome vape.

I'm waiting on my order

Placed my third order today. Reordered the Vanillas and the Cappuccino Diablo, and am trying Belgian Waffle, Peach Thymbra and Watermellon this time around.

The Orange de Sangre was very good, but not an all day vape for me. The Caramel is excellent, but needed a few weeks to steep to come into it's own and I still have plenty left. I liked the Blackberry Limoncello, but for lemon based flavors the Strawberry Lemonade is still my fave. And of course the Black Cherry Dulcet remains in the regular rotation.

Looking forward to the new flavors.

Belgium waffle is awesome..for me, no steeping needed. Am planning on some vanilla in my next order.

Well, moving day is finally upon me (tomorrow), so I'll be going dark for a few weeks. Y'all behave in here!

See you on the flip side.

Take care of your back during the move EleanorR

Just tried my cheesecake...it is wicked good!

Well, I love the quality of juice from Highbrow. However I will NOT place anymore orders until I am assured the tips will not split on the bottles. I have lost quite a bit of juice due to 8 bottles splitting at the tip. I can't afford this.

I've never had a problem with cracked bottles from highbrow (but have received cracked/leaking bottles form another vendor) and I keep the cap on while shaking (why'd you shake with the cap off? )

 

[rdsok]

Of the 30 or so bottles I've got... none have cracked tips. So it does sound like it was limited to just a batch which I missed out on... My last order was on the 14th of Aug, then the next was 3 weeks earlier and the ones before that were spaced about every 2 weeks or so... So it doesn't look like the problem existed for long
