First mix

Red Astaire doesn't really need steeping - you can vape from the off? a day or two steeping improves but its ok to just go for it

Jack The Ripple only needs a week or so,but bear in mind - most people say to not leave it steeping too long (ie dont make up buckets)  as flavour diminishes? (or can taste peppery with time) I've not picked up that, so no massive wait with those.

Colonel custard needs leaving, don't know about waffle, but as its a cake/pastry it probably needs a fortnight ?..

As Pepperty says, jack the ripple has a harsh edge to it after a short while. I quite like it, but it's not the sweet juice it is after a week. I've got a 30ml premixed bottle that I'm very slowly working through, and it's not as nice as it once was.

Leave the custard as long as you can - it's really underwhelming at first, but after a month it's very nice, and much much darker.

my colonel custard has evolved into a scary tar coloured eliquid but vapes fine!

How did you steep the colonel Pepperty ?

I've seem a range of options from room temperature - this could be anything from 8 to 30 degrees depending on which room and where you live lol
to a dark cool place, to a bright sunny window ledge.

Mine is ten days old now, and hasn't changed much at all.

was watching a tutorial on mixing by lordy on youtube & he uses an electric milk frother, he claims by frothing his liquids, allowing them to clear then repeating 3 times cut his steep times from weeks down to 3 days, has anyone tried this

[Pepperty]

I just mixed at 20% then shoved it in my wall cabinet and supped it after a month of steeping.

But 6 weeks on its coal tar? lid on. mixed on 20th December now I check so it's 8 weeks old. it was in a 50ml bottle do I wonder if it's had lots of air from almost empty bottle (I hammered it until I made own custard) I've decanted remainder into a smaller bottle

What's made you come to that conclusion Steve (VapeStorm)?

The jury's out for me on any of these ' forced ' methods of steeping aquila . . . personally I can't see where the difficulty is in allowing mixes to infuse in a cupboard for a week or two. That's good for most blends other than some of the dessert/custard flavours.

Erm, how much have you vaped today(well yesterday)? Maybe to much nicotine? How much do you normally vape in a day?

Ive got carried away after new flavour/mix/clearo/mod/dripper lol, each time resulting in me vaping far to much and feeling bit unwell with headache and well feeling rough.

Ps, after mixing red astaire few times I'd say its vapable within hours but better after few days, flavour just nicer.

Just read your other post.... Pretty extreme reaction! Fingers crossed its just a flavour, would make sense.
Or maybe the higher vg, that's pretty unusual though, but did read somewhere that one person with asthma reckoned they had to have low vg or none... Don't remember what it did to them though.
