Start out first thing in the morning with lower nic, lower flavor, as that begins to fade step it up throughout the day, then taper back down in the evening.
Forget about steeping, it's a waste of time, and a waste of precious liquid shelf life...use it or lose it.

I totally agree with Don, there are good days vaping and bad, everyone has them, that's why reviews are so utterly unreliable....having said that...I read them all the time.

How long have you been vaping and what is your setup? Also how long off analogs and how long have you had it? It could just be a taste bud thing. Ive gone through it more times that I can shake a stick at. Ive had where everything tastes good, to everything tastes bad and no taste at all. I probably vape a lot more than most with testing things everyday but sometimes it can be your buds and also can be hardware related as well. Some flavors when intermingled take the flavor away from others so if your using the same atty and switching back and forth this can cause a problem. Try staying away from it for a few days, I find if I vape the same thing for any length of time I lose taste to it and until I leave it alone for a while I dont get taste back. If you are tasting it right away in the am then losing taste I would say your buds could be to blame.

I've been vaping for just over a week... this time(Last time was 2 months). Although, now I can taste the Applewood more-so, all day actually. I use a 510 with a 306 atty. I bet you do vape a lot, but if I had all of your flavors.... Let's just say that we'd have a nice, friendly competition. Lol...(No, seriously... I have a problem...:p) Do you know when you'll get more supplies for RY4? I'm dying to try your version(Superior, I'm sure). I'm not sure if I can stay away from your juice for a few days... for a couple good reasons: 1) Waiting on more juice. 2) Your juice is now getting too good. I think that your juice has healed me! Praise Jeee-sssuss! LOL :banana:

Totally disagree with the steeping factor from to much experience doing it and allowing things to age. Colors, flavors and throat hit change. And as far as shelf life they are good for atleast 1 to 2 years so if they are around that long something is wrong anyways LOL. Everyones got their own opinions on steeping and to each their own.

You will get better taste as you get off the analogs longer. Could be alot of the problem as it has only been a week now. Glad its coming around though
BTW Don, I'm sorry for doubting your superior juice creating skills.... PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I Don't wanna get the hose again!
No worries at all bro, Never any offense taken on anything anyone says. I know taste is subjective as well as everyones opinions are different. I take all good and bad as constructive criticism and it all helps in one way or another. If everyone shared the same opinions and beliefs things would get rather boring fast.
 
Just throwing this out there. For me, I seem to have to "rest" my favorites or believe it or not I loose their taste. I dislike it when it occurs but it does. Mostly with vanillas and caramels, (RY4s) after 2 or 3 days its as if the flavor is turned off. I finally figured out my taste buds just get to used to the flavors. Strange but true:confused::confused::vapor::vapor::)

BWB for me needed time to steep but that's just my opinion. After 2 weeks I was in love with it and rated it a 10 out of 10
I have found that no mater how great I think a flavor is if I vape it all day for several days to a few weeks it looses about 98% of its luster. I'm 6 months analog free now and I can tell you first hand that you need to have at least 2 to 3 Juices in your arsenal at all times.

When the flavor doesn't do it for you with one juice just switch to another and if that one doesn't do it for you switch to another and if that one doesn't do it for you get online and order another flavor or switch up vendors. Don't lay down and surrender to just one juice that isn't working for you. Get out there and do something about it..

Yes, like it seems to have lost it's steepedness, but after a few weeks of resteeping it's back in favor again.

From another thread..
Anyway, steep on this - The countless stories are just the same today as they were over a year ago before the advent of steepage. Someone tries a juice, they don't like it, too weak, too this, too that, they hit it a few more times over a two week period and it now becomes their all time favorite, nothing to do with "steeping" or airing out because the juice in question is "presteeped" Dekang, and subsequent bottles are good from day one, it has happened to me several times.

I rotate like 8 or 9 at all times just to keep the buds flowing

Thats all well and fine for a Dekang, but for a fresh made juice its a whole new ball game

Excuse me!.. could you rephrase that....no really!, what you just wrote doesn't make any sense..
Same ball game, I make my own juice.. remember? - What's Dekang or any other 'Vintage' or not, juice got to do with it :?:

Dekang by the time it gets to you is no wheres near fresh it has had a chance to steep already, juice that is made fresh is a different ballgame.

I was being sarcastic, you already know I'm fighting to end the 'sufferage of steepage' lol

Tell me, when does a juice become not fresh, and allowed to enter a different ballgame?
