steeping

[wil7985]

I know this a daft question( only been vaping of 12 days) but when your steeping e-liquids, do you leave it in the bottles or put it in your atty's / clearo's ?. Also what's the benefit of steeping. does it increase flavour that much.

Leave the juice in the bottles in a dark place. Steeping allows the flavour to mature. Some will change colour too but that is normal. I steeped kingslayer custard from kraken. It went from a yellowish colour to a dark orange and tastes much better after steeping.

It's a simple procedure. If you buy a fresh liquid from a good vendor, it might need a little time just for all the ingredients to mingle & as they do, the liquid changes, mellows or sometimes get's more pungent.
Some vendors will sell you a liquid ready to vape straight off or they might have info on the site telling you how long it needs.

An example then, I have here some vanilla custard dated 14th march. I havn't started it yet because those kinds of flavours taste better from about two weeks on in general & then get better again. It's in a dark cupboard & i go to each day, give it a shake up & squeeze out the air a few times, lid back on & another shake. I might remove the lid & leave it overnight a here & there so it can breath. Basically i work with it until it's ready.
I was sent an RY4 liquid & that one tasted fine as soon as i got it. It was also a fresh liquid. Maybe it will be better after a steep too but i can vape it in the meantime.
Some fruit flavours are known for being ready straight off the cuff.

If you are buying imported liquids, big name stuff then i cant speak for those. What liquid are you using if you don't mind me asking ?

I usually don't bother leaving them at all from the vendor. I only leave ones I mix and I have a needle bottle (very cheap) to do this in.

My friend had a couple of bottles of juice that were pretty poor...Put them in the back of the drawer and forgot about them....Found them after about four months and thought "I'll just use them up moistening the o'rings and wetting out the cotton when I'm rebuilding my atty"....Result, Best tasting shop bought juices he's had in months....saves him scrounging my testers off me...

So they have a good shelf life then, that's handy cause I've order quite area of them!!!
