How to reduce steep time

[memzey]

Ok so I did try the technique of mixing the flavours with the nic and leaving for a week or so before mixing in the pg/vg and it didn’t really work out that well to be honest. A batch of the same liquid mixed normally just over a fortnight before tasted a bit better. I think it may have been due to the nic I was using (18mg 10ml to give me 3mg in short fill) so have got some 72mg stuff and will try that.

Really keen to get the hang of this mixing malarkey but it’s proving a bit of a pain!

There are several ways to mix, people do it differently, no one way is right or wrong. Pick the way that suits you best.
At the end of the day, as long as you've put all the stuff in the bottle and shaked or stired and left it a while to steep that's good enough.

It's the leaving it a while bit....he struggles with

Another go with 72mg nic and I’ll post back. I’m hoping it will work out ok as I can’t wait to try @StrawberryRipple custard donut and v5!

Hahaha I know that feeling. Give it a bloody good shake then vape it.
The way round that is to mix up every day and build a stash. You can't vape it all that quick do will be steeped in its own right.

My other thought is to find a couple of shake and vape recipes that I can make do with while the others are steeping. Only problem is I’m not so keen on fruit flavours or tobacco.

Mix up a handful of different flavours. You will find one that is good to vape right away while the others steep.
You could always buy a Shortfill and vape that while ur mixes are steeping.

TBH you'll not go wrong with most of my recipies if you shake and vape just make sure you've shaken very very well.
I'll often vape test batches the next day to make sure I'm in the right ball park.
Realising early theres something that needs adjusting saves alot of lost of time in the long run.
I also find it interesting seeing how something changes over time and remember if a recipe is good it should still taste pretty good out of the gate.

I’ve just mixed up one bottle of v5 and another of custard donut (60ml bottles but to your recipe so 50ml end amounts). I’ve got enough other juices to see me through about a week so I’ll try to hold off and see what difference 72mg nic in this technique makes. I haven’t made a single mix I’m 100% happy with yet so I’m hoping these turn out well. Funnily enough the bubblegum mixes I make for the wife she likes just fine! I also think that I’m going to buy some fruits next time I’m conc shopping. I have strawberry, mango and some lychee at the moment. Need to find a fruity mix I’m happy to shake and vape.

Looking forward to the verdict.
