Steeping... Does warm water method "thin" juice?

I can spare you the long, long story... Main question... I could be WAY OFF, but it seems as if when I started fast steeping getting impatient, it seems as if my juice "thinned", changing consistency and making me blow through coils faster.
Am I COMPLETELY crazy? Well, I know the answer to that, but I mean to this regard...
All of my juice is kept on the top shelf of a "cabinet"ish area inside my closet...
If I've fast stepped, I've shaken like crazy, put bottles in freezer bag and then bag in bowl of very warm water.... Shook more like crazy, waited for water to come back to do temp, shake some more and put back in house.
It seems as if i began problems with juices since??? It could have been lots of things?
I recently had issue where my entire liquid collection (almost) got left when I went to stay with a family member for a little bit, leaving it all when I took some bottles out to leave with my sister (never got packed again... )
I had to place big orders to replace, but really, I've no more time to wait.
If I return to fast steep method, do you think I will harm juice....
Please advise?
Thanks so much!

Just make sure the cap's are secure and your zip loc bags are sealed so no water gets in and you should not have any problems at all.

It seems as when I first began using this method, my juices seemed to "thin"... So, I was probably just nuts to think this???
Thanks for your thoughts!
No, the liquids are as arrived last week and never opened. They will be inside a sealed bag before it goes in to water???

Fast steeping just accelerates the nicotine breakdown. Best to just let it sit for a couple of weeks.

I just want to make the flavor "fullest", the juice at its BEST before opening.... Normally, I have much time to let them sit..
Ordering early so several weeks, at least, are able to pass by before I need them...
I normally stuck to sweet juicy flavors for the most part... This time, I got some "candy" and drink types, also a cereal vape ( new thing, husband really wanted to try). I think these may take longer to steep...so...???

Not all flavors need to steep.
A lot of fruit, juice, and candy types don't require it.
Custards, dairy, bakery types almost all do though.
Maybe switch to types that don't require steeping while you wait for the ones that do to have their time.
just a thought

If you use high-VG ejuice, then warmth will make them slightly thinner, but temporarily -- unless they're cool again. VG just gets thicker when it's cool, and thins a little when warmed. Not sure that has any affect on the taste.

VG thins when warmed, but it thickens again as it turns to room temperature. I use a heat steep all the time and have never had any problems with the liquid not returning to normal.

Thats my norm.... Why I tossed the ? out. As soon as I began to do the shake, warm water soak, shake, soak, shake, shake, SHAKE (if my juice bottles were people, I'd be convicted of a felony... ummm, yeah, multiplies I guess), VIGOROUSLY.... juice seemed to "thin out" in consistency... This was a while ago (spared u story). Over the years, I came tor place orders, a bit in advance, knowing that I'd HAVE to put them up and AWAY for a while :( . This is hard, especially when I'm waiting to try a new juice flavor. In my current situation, it really STINKS!!! In thinking more, I KNOW that juice components NEED to be WELL mixed and integrated in that flavor is able to come forward... I got to thinking that forcing this too quickly may backfire? (over thinking the matter...) I just wanted to get the opinion of another. Evidently, we have the same up front thought.... JUST WAIT!
*However, do you think if I did use heat (with no chance that bottles themselves got well) it would negatively affect the ejuice?

And PLEASE trust that I'm PRAYING that the "candy flavor" that I'm waiting on DOES need to "steep" because I REALLY want to LOVE IT!!! In trying it before, I'd not given it a chance to steep and found it to have no real "flavor" at all. I LOVE this COMPANY and their juices. This one reviews so well and after trying others in this line, it seems as if it would carry EXCELLENT FLAVOR... I'll keep waiting, hoping. Any other advice, please feel free to toss my way...

I don't feel the need to buy crazy expensive juices that sit inside a warehouse forever. Those are available 2 me for no cost ALL the time, as my cousin has his own pretty successful juice line. Those dont impress me much
I'm happy with the place I do most of my shopping and that juice is made to order. :)

You are welcome to try for yourself, the line is called "Branded". It's available many places. "Giant Vapes" is 1 of them. They carry about 30 other juice lines as well....

I don't really see a difference between the $40+ 30mls and the reasonably priced juices I buy. Everybody has different experiences ?

Tried different methods but Nothing beats 2 - 3 weeks time for everything to come together.
