"To Steep or Not To Steep"

I find any flavor that includes the word "cream" usually takes at least 2 weeks of sitting in the dark to show up in a recipe.
Fruits are almost a "shake and vape" .. sitting around doesn't help them much. (unless you add a cream !!)
Tobaccos take a good 4-6 weeks to "mature" ... they are the slowest to reach their full development... the older, the better.

Steeping, like the amount flavoring, is up to your taste buds. You may like something at two weeks that I like at 1 week and vice versa. Some like to heat steep, others ultrasonic, others shaking while standing on your left foot facing north. Me, I just let time do it's thing and when I get around to vaping a bottle is when it is done.
General rule of thumb is fruits S&V, creams and custards 1 to 2 weeks, tobaccos longer. But like anything with DIY it's up to you. Sample during the aging process so you know what works for you.
