VG based Flavours

[ZeroInfinity94]

Just mixed a bottle of custard using that Kandi-Hed Crazy Custard at 25% and literally there is no flavour what so ever.
Defiantly not the build or wick, 28guage micro coil at 1.3 and Japanese cotton wick.
So any ideas what's going on here? As I say there is no flavour at all on the inhale or exhale and I highly doubt steeping will give it any flavour seeing as the concentrate looks lime its been steeped already from the colour of it.

can't speak for pre made concentrates...but i can't see any reason why it wouldnt need steeped the same as any other juice...

Normal custard(capella) takes 4 weeks..minimum

If you were vaping the concentrate then the colour would have a bearing on it....but your not

I'm very new to mixing, just started with the same custard concentrate that you're using, my first mix being last week. From a bit of reading up on this forum, my understanding is that the steeping is a process that takes place once the concentrates have been mixed (pg/vg and nic base) I haven't tried my custard yet, only mixed it at 15%, but with a good shake twice a day, and squeezing out the air and letting 'new' air in each day, it is now turning from a yellowy colour to a darker, more orangey colour. It's now getting close to the same colour as my bought custards like GVC and Kingslayer. I was very tempted to try over the weekend but I'm gonna try and hold out til the weekend. I believe custards, creams, desserts (biscuits/pastries) all need a good while to steep once made up, but a lot of fruit ones (particularly 1 flavour mixes) can be good to go after a quick shake up! As I say, I'm only just starting mixing myself so any other advice you may get here is more likely to be from someone with more experience. Best of luck and let us know how you get on.

Steeping - Yes, indeed, you are correct that the flavouring is already steeped/aged. However, when you make a mix, that becomes irrelevant. Your mix has ingredients, nic base, flavouring, and 'bulk' (your pg/vg) These ingredients can be looked upon as separate molecular entities, ie (simplified) a bunch of nic base molecules, a bunch of flavouring molecules, and a bunch of 'bulk' molecules.
The assortment of molecules, from different camps, need time to mingle and blend, to become a single entity. Oxidisation, via the air space, is also required to bring the best out of the juice, steeping gives this process time to happen.

custard mixes ar notiorious for being long steepers for tham to come into there own but in answer to the VG question, VG mutes flavour that is why the majority of concentrates are suspended in PG as PG carries flavours better.
If making a very high VG mix it is a good isea to up the flavour percentage a bit and tou use some water in your mix (preferably distilled or purified NEVER dieionised) as the water wil aid wicking and will also help stop the flavour from being muted
