Can't seem to find this searching. I've been vaping for about 4 months or so and the Kentucky flavors have been my go to. I buy from a nearby shop and they are great right away. No steeping. I finally got around to getting 8 samples of the purity line tobacco flavors from HHV and they all taste very similar and frankly...kind of like ... to me lol. Thus far, I've done Shadow, Legend, Dragon Fire, and Heavenly T. In that order, it goes from horrible to kind of alright and tobaccoey with Heavenly T.

I'll just come right out and say it...I'll stick with Kentucky if I have to avoid steeping something for 30 days. I'm not that hardcore into my flavors. Just want to find something possibly better than the Kentucky line that I don't have to steep.

I've never heard of steeping for thirty days. A week maximum without the cap in a cool dark place should do the trick. I myself love hhv's flavors, even right out of the mail. That being said, taste is surely subjective. Just keep searching, you'll find what you like. I would recommend huntsman, But it might be assly :)

Cheap, mass-produced juices won't need steeping. Custom, made-to-order ones probably will, though some vendors will carry juices they make in large batches that are pre-steeped. Of course, you lose most of the ability to customize them to your liking.

That said, I don't steep my HHV juices for a month, though most I do steep for two weeks. That's the price you pay for juice that's made to your specifications -- it needs some time to settle in. And, interestingly enough, I'd list those juices in the exact opposite order you did.

    Johnson Creek doesn't require steeping in my experience (and according to their website). Then again this is my first and only juice vendor so far and I have yet to actually try steeping anything. I'm learning quickly that they're not the cheapest and while not limited in flavors, they don't have like... waffles with warm butter and syrup and oreo cookie milkshake.

    I haven't had to steep anything from FreedomsmokeUSA. They all taste fine when I get them.

    I have to agree that my juice came in tasty from them, but they sat in the mail for 2 weeks so maybe it shook and steeped along the way.

    Edit some of the juices I order from other places taste great as soon as I get them while others need time. I think it is wholly dependent on what the base flavor is. Vanilla seems to need more time than other flavors.

    For most juices freshly mixed, steeping occurs in the Postal System. It rides on conveyors, in trucks and airplanes, gets thrown from place to place, vibrates all day in the delivery trucks, and then sits quietly in a dark mailbox all day. If it isn't good when you take it in the house, it may not be a juice you are going to really like.

    That said, I've let some sit for months and found that they were vapable when that's all I had left until the postman arrived again. There's also a cull factor involved.

    You can try and give your bottles a hot water bath as well. I use all glass vials and just boil some water, plop em in, give em a shake and vape! If your rocking the plastic then seal them up, put them in a Zip-Lock bag and then fill a bowl or glass with the hottest water you can get from your faucet and place them in there. I've heard it said to be akin to a week of steeping by doing this and I can definitely tell the difference from juice I mix and try to vape without a 'week' of steeping in a hot water bath and the juice I do 'steep'.

    I got the kentucky premium blend from vermilion river and it was good to go right out of the mail. But as it was a sample,so idk if it was indicative.

    That said, the freebies that many places send with every order are usually good to go. I got a free sample with my orders from blue mist and high desert vapes and they didn't need to be steeped(whereas the rest of the blue mist order definitely did, I didn't try any of the other flavors till a week after I got them and they still tasted off- tasted fine after a 2 week steep tho).

    The high desert vapes liquids are dated and the free sample was dated a week before the others.
