Hello everyone!

I recently purchased a few flavors and I wasn't that big of a fan of them.
I read somewhere about steeping the juice and the flavor can change?

How do you steep?

Am I even calling it the right thing? :p

Well, steeping can mean anything from leaving them in a dry, dark place to heating them, or even using an ultrasonic cleaner. The purpose of steeping is to properly mix all the ingredients together, giving even flavor throughout, and reducing the chance of vaping just flavor, just PG/VG, or - worst yet - just nicotine. We have threads around here describing the different processes, the ups, and even the few possible downs. It may take a bit to read through, but you'll be happy afterwards when you understand why one juice tasting terrible today is amazing in a week.

Chances are most any off the shelf bottle of juice you purchase from a store has been sitting there long enough that a good shaking before use is all you will need. Conversely, juices you purchase online may have been freshly made and need to be steeped in some fashion for best results.
I usually just let mine sit in a quiet dark corner for a few weeks. (alot like my childhood) ;)

I do the same as bold, if it has a alcoholy taste to it or just isn't right it goes in a dark case with all of my juices and gets shaken and vented every day for a week or two and I try it again. Most times its good to go by then.
If it was ordered online it can take more than a week or two since there was no shelf time at the vape shop. That gets dripped every few days after 3 weeks have passed to see if it's there yet.
