Preventing flavor fade

[Frito]

Okay, while I'm waiting for my FA order to get here so I can get back to making juice I've been doing a lot of reading. One of the things I've seen a few people talk about is some flavors fading over time, especially flavors like peppermint. Is there anyway to prevent this, or at least minimize the effect.

Not that I know of. Just don't make too much at a time, and you'll be fine. Actually, I have a peppermint vape I made last summer and it still tastes pepperminty to me (it wasn't overly strong at the time either!) Citrus also tends to fade, particularly lime in my experience.

Vape faster.

I'm still learning my flavors and I make 3 and 6 mL tester bottles that I go through quickly. I do have 6 other recipes I've made 30mL of but they are the type that get better with age like Irish Cream, Vanilla Custard and Tobacco. I don't think you'll find fading to be a big problem..

If you're asking if there is an ingrediant to keep another flavor from fading, I don't know of one.

There are molecules to help prevent this, but they are bad for health. It's better to deal with this issue. Citrus that are not oil based can fade too, but it's better to use them than oil. Fresh juices will help.

Storing stuff dark and cold can delay all the changes that might occur after mixing.

But @JXN has great advice - small batches, faster vaping.
