Steep Times

[alastairrigby]

Not sure if there's any validity to this, but I have a theory that liquids mixed with 72mg base mix a lot faster than those mixed with 54mg nicotine, I made a custard e liquid with 54mg that took a week and a bit to turn dark red, I mixed a bottle of it, following exactly the same recipe, except with an extra 0.8mg PG (to compensate for the less nicotine needed to get 18mg) in a fresh bottle, and it turned the red colour that indicates it being good to go in literally 3 days, tastes decent too. Has anybody else noticed a difference in steep times?

My recipe for my custard only takes 3 days no difference from when i used 54mg and now(72mg) could just be a coincidence it took so long with 54mg.

It's happened with all the other flavours I've made though, the difference in steeping times was the most extreme in the custard one though, with the 54mg nothing steeped well in three days haha

I just made a custard batch a couple of days ago. Arsed it up royally by misreading my vg for pg so now have 50ml 85/15 ratio pg/vg.My concentrate is 54mg. However it still tastes the same. 2 days after mix and its gone a rather pleasing reddish orange. I dont know if you would call it a secret but I microwave the flavours first then add nic, pg and vg and left it in sunlight for the day.

Hmm, could of just me been me being ignorant then haha, this isn't really related to the original post but seems too irrelevant to start an entire new thread, have you ever used AG instead of VG and if so, what are it's pros and cons?
