So as some of you already know my mvp took a turn for the worse so I'm looking at a replacement but quite fancy a different one. The choice I have at the moment is another mvp or this one www.vapercaper.co.uk/collections/complete-kits/products/innokin-svdThe other question is just about steeping, am I right in thinking that's just a case of leaving the lid off for a week or so to allow the liquid to do whatever it does? Thanks

I'd get another MVP or this myepack.co.uk/itaste-vtr.htmlsteeping is just leaving freshly made liquids to mature a bit. The odd shake now and again helps but you don't need to leave the tops off. I don't too many animals and clumsy folk about here for that

I'd have another MVP . . . and I don't leave the lids off of liquid that's steeping, just tuck the bottles away in a cool dark cupboard or drawer.

Ah right so mix your liquid up and let it sit for a week or so before vaping?

The MVP 2 is quite cheap at the moment from Myepack - £39.99. Just bought one from there as a Crimbo present for a family member.

Yep enjay, the longer the better with complex dessert and tobacco juices, mints, menthols and fruits don't need so much time. This also applies to some premade juices too - I have some Joosejuice Black Gold which is now 5 weeks old and still improving, whilst I have some of their Pina Colada which is a week and a bit old and really nice to vape now. After a few mixes you'll start getting a second nature thing about how long to leave them. As stated above, cool dark conditions, no need to leave the lids off! (although it does make my mixing cupboard smell tasty if I do).

Yeh the mvp is cheap enough but I don't mind spending a bit more for something else if it's up to the task but looks.....well cooler really lol, you can get a discount at that shop too apparently, last guy bought the mvp for £35 after discount so I'd expect a few quid off the one I linked.
Cheers chykensa, once I've got the mixing sussed I'll get steeping, it's virginia fine cured and golden rollie.

Ah right so mix your liquid up and let it sit for a week or so before vaping? If it's tobacco...yes, probably. If it's complex, yes, also. Some homemade liquid can be vaped in a matter of hours.

I'd let tobacco flavours steep at least a couple of weeks before evaluating your mix, preferably more. If you're mixing fruit flavours with tobaccos, the fruit will dominate at first, but the tobacco will come through over time.

I'd get the SVD. Pictures don't do it justice. It's a gorgeous mod.

I've got to second @lairy there enjay, wait til you run out of your fav Flav (Cat knocks over your 10ml stash) and you find the random 5ml sample you stuck in the bottom Drawer in the kitchen cos you thought "No Way on Earth would I try...." and mix it up with some other bits you have left, you will decide you are the finest Mixologist in the History of Vaping!!! The week after you'll be cursing cos you cant remember the quantities of what were in each bottle you had stashed!!!
