Words have meaning!

How many seasoned ECF vets does it take to answer a silly question?

Did I Win Something?

I was wrong (or, I should say, the definition posted is wrong) and, after doing some research, kblair is right in that "Aging" (like wine, liquids) is a more accurate term than "Steeping" (like tea/coffee, solids) in our case.

"Steeping" does, in fact, assume a solid to liquid, liquid to solid dynamic as well as the extraction of either the solid or the liquid in the end product. It simply doesn't apply to a liquid to liquid reaction in any sense.

On the plus side, I have a nice 2013 Chateau De Jour BikerBeagle RY4 I'm willing to sell for $1,000 per 30mL.

I must admit, when I started vaping a month ago, "steeping" did confuse me. "Oh. Leave it sitting around open for a week."

Then the Five Pawns claim to 'steeping' their new flavor in whiskey barrels would be an accurate use of the word, correct?

This thread is hilarious.

Homebrew here, 5 Pawns are totally incorrect. What they are doing is barrel aging, or more jargony - "oaking" At least that's what I call it when I fill up barrel with bourbon and let it site for 3 months

My thoughts exactly! I "Age" my Russian Imperial Stouts and Belgian Ales, I steep tea.

Well, I suppose if you want to get technical we are allowing our juice to breath for a time, then aging it to allow it to mellow and develop a more complex or, better flavor profile but hey, it's e-juice, not wine. I'll steep my juice and age my wine, thank you.

Now I suppose my coffee has had enough time to breathe, and is sufficiently aged in the bottle in the fridge, so I'll just go have an iced latte now.

I envision threads in history at the birth of terms...

Why do gentlefolks say we "drive" our motorized carriages? We Pilot them! There are no beasts of burden to urge onward to make it driving. We guide them to a vector as a ship pilot does. Why insist on this muleskinner term? It is clearly imprecise.

In the UK you will often use the term 'on the bus'. This has puzzled me. You ride in the bus, not on it.

The phrase a glass of _____ (for example a glass of water) is also puzzling to me. In Spanish they have it right - a glass with water. The way we say it in English may make it seem that the glass is made from the liquid it contains.

Carry on.

LOL same.

I couple of googles later I am wondering why it's not just referred to as "aging" or simply "let it sit open"

By my understanding and simplified definition of the term, it would be, but I'm no expert on the matter. There is likely another distinguishing characteristic that I'm not aware of; for example, the difference between a slow, naturally-occurring chemical process where time is, literally, one of the variables (aging) vs a chemical reaction that is artificially produced via manipulated variables such as heat and or agitation (steeping).

The 2 main things that need to be understood here is 1) I'm bored waiting for laundry to finish and 2) I flunked Chemistry ...twice.

Acknowledged and Agreed. From now on, I'm going to ______ my juices after I DIY. What would your substitute word be. I've been using steeping because everyone here knows exactly what it means when used in VapeWorld, and instantly connects my intended meaning to their understanding. Words can mean different things, depending on context. Since we aren't making tea here, maybe steeping has a different meaning in the context of vaping? Huh....? This is puzzling....

In looking at the definitions on steeping you provided, aren't we:

1. Infusing?
2. Saturating?
3. Extracting?

I know that this is just a shameless attempt to increase your post count, but, then again, so is my answer. Challenge accepted and answered. Beats watching the news.

Nice answer!
