What's the best way to steep ejuice?

[Matty Vapes]

I've never steeped ejuice in the past. In hindsight i should've learned about it earlier on in my vaping journey as I've had some blah bottles in the past..Anyways i just got a fresh batch and I'm pretty sure this one in particular was literally bottled last week..It's a vanilla bean milkshake flavor but in all honesty it really doesn't taste like much of anything. Would steeping help? it's a 70/30 6mg..I don't know how to steep. I've watched some tutorials in the past but nobody did it the same way.. Is there a "correct" by the book way to go about it?

Creams definitely need to steep some. I usually steep just by setting it aside for a week or two. Shake it every once in a while. Does the trick for me.

Time is your friend when it comes to aging juice. Stick it in a drawer or cabinet and wait. Nothing beats time.
Fruits and candies are usually ready to go. Creams and milks need to age at least a week to ten days. Custards and tobaccos - the longer the better, but at least 2-3 weeks. (Nothing tastes better than custard that's at least 3 months old)

Teresa is correct. Time is best.

Yep, time. Put it in a cool dark place and shake it every now and again. My best luck have been around 2 weeks to steep.

Don't fall into the fast steep like heating and leaving the top off. That degrades the nicotine, heat and oxygen breaks down nicotine.

Yeah I saw all that mumbo jumbo on YT and had my doubts..thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Matty Vapes]

Thanks guys! Well the good news is my juice can improve with time! The bad news..finding and buying some more ejuice that wasn't pakaged yesterday lol I need something to vape on for the next few weeks. Literally my whole august supply needs to be steeped..all creams and brand new

Make some fruity vapes or lighter creams. Some creams don't need steeping and practically all fruits are ready to vape right away. Something to vape while you steep.

Haven't started DIY yet..It's coming tho..oh it's coming..probably before winter is in full swing. The cost and hit or miss of "premium ejuice" has pretty much gotten on my last nerve lol

Store bought juice? unless made on premises I've never had steeping matter.... Premiums made to order or DIY juice yeah buy it or make it and vape it next month. Few drip to taste here there tells you how long to let it sit.


DIY makes thing easier becau a enough can always make juices that don't need to steep to vape.

ITS JUST THAT. ... most juices are better when aged a bit.... Good juices are good when made... they just get better.

Yeah I emailed the site I bought from. They claim to bottle their juices to order so all four were bottled on July 27th via an "automatic dispenser" They must have a the premium base or something lol I'm kinda left scratching my head. They wanna know if I'm using a dripper or tank. I'll get back to them tomorrow. It shouldn't really matter but for the record 2 in a dripper and one in a tank..issues with all three that i've tried. Learning DIY for the month of august and giving it a shot in september

I buy my juice at my local B&M, though they do sell online, they mix it when you order it or right there in front of you when you walk in. In case of emergencies, I use warm/hot tap water in a coffee cup and let the bottle sit until it's room temperature again shake and vape. Ideally though, I try and buy ahead and just let it sit either on my desk or in the closet, occasionally burping (taking lid off just for a moment) then shaking.

Not all need steeping though. The green apple was straight good after I got it to mix well. The lighter creams, can confirm good right out of the gate. The cereal vapes I like and heavier cream ones just keep getting better with time.

I've gotten some juice though that taste perfumie and they've been steeping and steeping and they continue to taste perfumie. They were ones I really wanted to like too... Gummi Peach and Tiger's Blood. They've been steeping two weeks, they are smelling better, but when I drip em, perfume flavor... I'm hoping further steeping will help.

I'm with you on learning DiY though. Going to start reading up. I've seen a few recipes around here that just sounded SO good.

I really like making juice....have about 300 flavors, the sky's the limit when it comes to different flavors....!

Too much flavoring can do that to a juice.

Oh? Well maybe that's what it is then. I've noticed that when I go to the B&M to get my juice they use those disposable pipettes for the flavors. They don't sell the sample pack at the B&M though. I had to order those off the website. I could see it being easy to use to much flavoring in a 15ml sample bottle.

Granted, I don't know what brand(s) of flavoring they're using, but some require mere drops to flavor a large bottle of 50+ml. Smaller samples can require a tiny fraction of that, so it would be easy to go overboard.
