Difference a good steep makes

[whit77]

Ok I'm ending this now lol, here's the result of a quick window steep

@whit77 How did your juice come out? Was there any difference in taste?

Not vaped it yet, been in the cupboard still steeping fella, its gone really deep red, the same mix has never gone that red before, couple of hours in the window at the beginning definitely makes a difference, suppose the proof will be on how it vapes

After seeing your post whit77 I was making up some FA After Late and decided to make two batches.
The one on the left was put in my 'mixing' drawer, cap off for first two days, gentle shake every day.
Right one was put on the window sill for 24 hours then into the 'mixing' drawer, cap always on, with a gentle shake every day.
There is a slight difference in colour, window sill one is a bit darker.
One week later and just about to drip each, see what the difference is taste wise.....

You can certainly see the difference, I think you get more dramatic effect with capella flavours especially vanilla custard in the matter of a couple of hours, if you read through this thread I only tried the window thing, after another member suggested it, still not 100% sure

Yeah read the full thread, not sure either, but I remembered it had been a week for your mix, (set my calendar to remind of all my mixes) the taste test will reveal all....

Indeed it will, I normally steep vanilla c for 3 weeks but may try this bottle early, infact im going to stick some in a dripper now

Edit: ok it doesn't seem to have sped up the process so far, the creamy element of the v custard/ dulche leche has not yet come through

Properly tasted both mixes and no differences at all... will put them away for another week

It seems this UV steeping may only be degrading the nicotine as this specific red colour is what nicotine turns when exposed to UV.

Can't see it actually increasing speed of time taken for the molecular interaction between flavour/base - whatever - takes place over time...

Would like to be wrong though as it is a bit of a pain waiting for things to steep.

Noob question, I made a batch of capella VC up about 3 weeks ago (zero nic btw) and it's still a very light colour, none of the orange colour as in you guys pics....I guess then it's the nic that turns it orange?

Could be the nic, what % of vc etc did you mix

It ended up about 20% VC....with a 70%vg 30% PG ratio...BTW it smells and tastes lovely..just wondered why it didn't turn orange
