What juices are you currently steeping?

[Lombaowski]

One thing about vaping is the nuances of steeping. I have a good stable of juices ready to vape but now I have quite a few that are near the end of the process, or just beginning. Now that I have this figured out a little better, I can keep my favorites (Dragon's Crown, Dragon's Tear) stocked by understanding they need a good steep before use. Listing your juices, your findings on individual steeping for a selected juice, and some other info could be valuable to others. For example, The Dragon's series all require steeping. They are good right out of the bottle but excellent after two weeks and spectacular after three weeks or more.

ECBlend:

Dragon's Cafe: 30ml bottle of 50/50; 3 weeks so far, this one is probably about ready.
Dragon's Nectar: 15ml bottle or 50/50; 3 weeks and ready. I moved it over to the regular juice pit with all the ready juices.
RY 4: 5ml bottle of 50/50; 3 weeks and probably getting close.
Dragon's Crown: 50ml bottle of 50/50; 2 weeks. This one is ok to vape now but in a week it'll be prime.
Dragon's Dream: 15ml bottle of 50/50; 2 weeks. I broke into this today and still think it needs a little more time, back to the steeping pile.
Make your own coffee of White Chocolate/Cream/Almond: 15ml bottle of 70/30, 1 day. This one will need at least 3 weeks.
White Peach ala Zoe: 30ml bottle of 70/30; 1 day but I'll throw one this in an atomizer tomorrow to test it. Should be good in a week but I got a sample from ECBlend that was 45 days old that was absolutely terrific. So this one most likely gets better with age.
Dragon's Leaf: 5 ml bottle of 50/50; 1 day with top off, will let this sit at least two weeks
Blue Colada: 15ml bottle of 50/50; 1 day with top off, guy at work just got some and his was great after two days. Will test as early as tonight.
Frozen Dragon's Tear: 5 ml bottle of 50/50; 1 day with the top off and I'll let this one sit for about ten days or so before mowing through it.

AVE:

Boba's Bounty: 2 12ml bottles of 100%vg; 1 day with top off, will leave top off for one more day and sit for 3 weeks before trying first bottle.
Gorilla Juice: 12ml bottle of 100%vg; 1 day with top off, will throw in atomizer and hit tomorrow to see where this is. From what I've read this one can be good right away but I'm gonna test it over time.

HHV:

Strawberry Lemonade: 15ml bottle of 70/30; 1 day with top off, will try this one soon.
Double D Watermelon: 5ml bottle of 50/50; no steeping required, will vape ASAP
Blueberry muffin: 5ml bottle of 50/50; will let it sit a few days then vape
Oompa: 5ml bottle of 50/50; will let this sit at least two weeks
Mocha Java Smooth: 5ml bottle of 50/50; coffees are weird, but they usually need some time. Might test this one this weekend to see where it is.

Halo:

I've had Tribeca, Voodoo and the Belgian Cocoa for a month now. Tribeca has really mellowed out after two or so weeks so I can straight vape it now. I thought Voodoo and the Cocoa were good to vape right away although Voodoo has changed some over the month. I don't love Tribeca but I do like it, I think Voodoo is outstanding.

I guess this thread failed, but this HHV Strawberry Lemonade was a complete success!

I'm vaping Blueberry Muffin right now. It's steeped for 3 months because I couldn't vape much of it at a time until I got a dripper -- which enhanced the sweetness of the blueberry and balanced out the entirety. Before, it was too strong, but now it's balanced beautifully and I'm finally ripping through my 15ml bottle.

It's too realistic

Not so fast...I like the thread idea!

Currently steeping:

Azure Vaping

Smooth - 120mL - I've tried it before beginning the steep, and I'd say so far it's just "good". I honestly don't think it will be one of my favs, but when it comes to steeping who knows!
RY4.5 - 30mL - I really like this so far, but it's one of those juices that you just know will be even better in time.

AVE

Boba's Bounty - 30mL - No need to guess with this one. Next week it will be perfect.
Dreamberries - 15mL - Honestly too sweet for me right now. It has a lot of flavor and it's pretty decent, but I don't really think I'll be getting this one again.
Watermelon Overload - 15mL - Same as DreamBerries. I think I just don't like the fruit flavors much, other than peach flavors. I never would have guessed this, as I always thought I would love flavors like this.

HHV

Heavenly Waffles - 10mL - This one smells STRONG like maple syrup! That is a good thing for me, as I love maple. It has a bit of a fruit flavor kick, even though I did not choose to add a fruit to it (with this flavor, you make your own waffles with butter, fruit, syrup, etc.) I'm hoping that the fruit flavor subsides after steeping, and I'm left with just waffles, syrup and butter.
Mocha Java Smooth - 3mL - Have not tried this one yet
Vanilla Dream - 3mL - A bit perfumey, as many HHV flavors are. Very good though! I think it will be great in a few weeks.
P Nut Butter Cookie - 3mL - Really good so far! As with others, I have a hunch that it will be awesome over time.
Dragon's Fire - 30mL - This is one of my favorite overall juices. No guesswork here....it will be even more amazing in 2 weeks.

TheECig

Sin-A-bun - 30mL - This flavor is too good to not vape some of while it steeps. The flavor is perfect. When I'm in the mood for it, it's close to unbeatable.

Avid Vaper

Cappucino - Disgusting. Tastes like plastic. I will be giving it away if it doesn't decide to think about what it's done for a few weeks and make a life change.

I'm excited to see what some of these are going to taste like. Especially the HHV ones...I have a gut feeling they are going to taste awesome in a couple of weeks!

Mocha Java Smooth - 3mL - Have not tried this one yet

How long do you steep Boba's?

I find coffee flavors need a week at least, but I'm looking forward to the Mocha Java Smooth. Comes highly recommended here and I like coffee vapes the best of all.

I've tried blueberry vanilla cake out of express presteep line very good spot on
I've tried gold member good but a little too salty
neither have any kind of cheep feel to it quality juice
excited to open the tea's tomorrow there known for there tea and tobacco extracts

I also have honey tobacco from there aromatic line (that does not require steeping but is supposed to be very strong tobacco flav)
coming next week

 

[lasttango]

I really don't steep much... a few days tops... I find it unnecessary for most juices... especially alien vision juices.

my taste I guess

Blueberry Vanilla Cake & Smooth Criminal - Ahlusion
Boba's Bounty - AVE

bobas bounty is good after 2-3 days but gets better as you go
only problem I had with it is all the hype I expected the end all be all
what it turned out to be is just a really good tobacco type flav(had others just as good a couple better) but is very hard on coils
however it is amazing dripping

I personally like Boba's best after a couple of weeks. I find that it has this "tang" to it when I first receive it, but within a few days, that is gone. I start to use it a bit after a few days, but I find that it gets even better after 2 weeks or so.

It seems that all of the flavors settle down into themselves to form an irresistible flavor once it's had some time to sit.

I too am looking forward to the MJS! You've inspired me to give a few drops a try now. It's only a 3mL bottle, which is probably ridiculous to be steeping anyway, so what the hell.

You have to get on the site at 8AM or so M-F, and I would suggest trying their express line first. These are already pre-steeped and ready to go when you get them.
I haven't hit a sour note on any of their liquids so far. As mentioned, the BlueBerry vanilla cake is spot on. It's like eating a warm Blue Berry muffin.
