Surprised!

Well about 4 weeks ago I tried Ry4 for the first time. I liked it so decided to order some PA RY4 concentrate and mix my own.

It tasted horrible, really horrible. So I was about to rinse the bottle out and throw the concentrate in the bin when I got sidetracked and the wife put it in the kitchen cupboard.

This was about 3 weeks ago. I went into the cupboard today to fill one off my tanks and spotted the little 10ml bottle in the corner.

I asked her what it was and she told me it's the stuff you made and didn't like, you left it on the bench so I just put it in the cupboard as I didn't know what you wanted to do with it.

So I took a sniff and it smelt quite nice. I thought, hmm, maybe it has matured. It had definately darkened and gone a dark brown colour.

I filled the tank on the KFL with it and, wow! This is nice, I didn't realise steeping made such a difference.

So there you go, if you've mixed something that initially tastes awful, don't throw it away, leave it a couple of weeks and go back to it. It may very well be transformed into something very nice.

I just have to wait another 2 - 3 weeks for the latest batch to mature now, can't wait.

Yep tobacco flavours IMHO definitely need a bit of steeping to start tasting right.
I made a banana & custard up, following a recipe I found on a forum (somewhere) - left it a couple of weeks - tried it -nah- still not much flavour and it used 40% concentrate (equates to bloody expensive)
So I put it to the back of me mixing cupboard and discovered it about 4 months later - it was now orange to the point of brown.
It tasted bloody marvelous - moral of the story don't throw away any ejuice you make until at least 6 months old - if it still tastes crap then it can be condemned

You've got to love banana custard. One of my faves. Steeping really does make a difference.
