I understand the necessity of allowing flavoring additives to permeate the solution when diy'ing. I don't really diy other than to mix overflavored juice with unflavored nic to arrive at a less expensive but enjoyable vape. Do you think that mixed juices of different flavors benefit from steeping as well? Ok, to be more specific, if you have a commercial menthol juice and a commercial cinnamon juice that have individually steeped in storage and you mix them together--is the resulting mix likely to improve with further steeping?
I know you diy gurus have answers.:)

A little different from your specific question but with my DIY juices I mix 2 flavours when fresh mixed the juice is near clear and very mild flavour after about a week or two it becomes a rich golden colour and developed a deep rich flavour so i would assume your tailor made juices would likely steep together some developing their own flavour much Like a good stew or chili is always better the next day

Yeas when they are new and you mix them then they will combine and change color.

When they have already steeped they should just have the same maximum flavor but will probly change color since you are blending the two together but I dont think steeping longer will change the flavor anymore than when you first blended them fully steeped.

I personally dont think it will.

I think once they have steeped to the point that they arent getting any different that all you will get is the new flavor from the blending.I may be wrong but I have found that with all my DIY blends that once they reach their full potential thats it.

No faith in science eh ? :lol:

I only have faith in my Reo :D Everything else is up for debate LOL

good one :lol: Not related to the question at hand but just took some couple month old juice out of freezer it was no where near as dark as same stuff not in freezer.

I see what your saying Vash and you may have a good point my thought somewhat uneducated maybe though is wouldn't it be likely there would be some sort of chemical reaction between the different juices even though maybe small it is likely if it happens to have some affect on the juice flavour I would assume

Freezing nicotine helps to preserve it so Im thinking it slows the steeping process down.Its the nicotine combing and aging with the flavors that changes the juice so its not getting the chance to do it at same rate as room temp juice.

Yeah you might be right that it would change some I really cant say for sure.I never steep any single flavors long enough to combine them to test it out.

Im always just creating recipes and trying them and tweaking them and once I have one down then I make a large batch to steep but at that point everything is its own unique juice so I have never tried two diffrent single flavors steeped and then combined .
