Do your juices need to be in a dark place to steep? I have my e juices sitting on my desk next to my computer. Does it really make a huge difference to put them in a box or drawer, somewhere dark?

Yeah. I would def keep them in the dark, the nic will degrade alot faster in light and heat.

I guess it really depends on how far ahead you are making your juice.

I've managed to kill 60 mils already this week. Got two more days left. :confused:

I don't put mine in the dark, because I don't care to. Some do. I don't think it makes a difference unless you are making it months ahead of use.

I agree with freemind if your blowing it up fast it probably doesn't matter but if your mixing for flavors down the line for the keep than dark and airy is where you want it
UV light is not good for much so keep it dark
Good luck- ww

Thanks for the advice guys.. But, I think I might have posted in the wrong forum... I haven't started making my own juice yet, these are all premium juices I have bought at local stores and ordered online

Naw, I think your question was applicable, even here.

The same advice would apply to bought juice or DIY juice.

To me, I think steeping is an important process for the DIY before you can vape. It will make the flavors mix better and nicer.

As well, E-Liquids needs to be stored in a dark ventilated place to avoid it from oxidation.

Keep it in a drawer. Ive noticed the taste of some of my higher vg stuff is better when I keep it in my desk drawer. I used to leave all of my juice sitting on my desk just because I liked to see what I had in my collection, but now that I've noticed a difference in taste, I dont think ill be leaving them out anymore.
