steeping

[Deleted]

what is this and how do you do it?

[giles]

Leave it for a week, cap off, dripper out, in a cool dark place where the kids won't get at it.

I will add that every other day put the cap back on and give it a good shake, cap off and back in the dark.

Some flavours get better with age mate so leaving to steep can make them better.

Ejuice either self mix or vendor purchased remove top allow to breathe after a few days give bottle little squeeze.....allows flavours etc to blend better

I don't do the top of thing, i'm too clumsy as are my pets!

I just don't usually vape my purchases straight away, usually leave them for at least a week!

I've noticed taste is better the longer its kept in the bottle even with the top on!

Steeping is the process whereby the liquid mixes at a molecular level, rather than just a physical mix. Think of it like wine maturing. It is my humble view that all e-liquids benefit from a period of steeping unless they are the mass-produced ones that spend ages on a vendor's shelf somewhere. I believe that it is impatience which leads many vapers to declare a juice under-par

I have also noticed that if you leave them uncapped for too long(14 days +) they start to lose flavour and eventually become quite plain.

So will I like the RY4 now then?
Or what can I mix it with to make it more palatable ?

[raid2506]

I had not tried RY4 before today and I got two bottles of Hangsen in the mail this morning.

Was perfect right from the off, no steeping needed.

Yup pre-mixed stuff should be good to go (slow boat from China and sat on a vendors shelves for a while.)
juice that was mixed for you the day before will generally need at least a week to steep.

I use the airing cupboard with the lids off (out of the way of toddlers and cats then.)

Pleased to hear your airing cupboard is out of bounds for the cats! I found my cat in the tumble drier yesterday, I fear nowhere is out of bounds for her

[kibbster]

Luckily our cat hasn't worked out how to jump and open doors yet or I'd have to find somewhere else to stash my steeping juice

[punisher]
