Is it me???

Ok! I know it's me because I'm typing this,, Today I thought I'd pop into our newish Vaping shop, I tried two very nice ready made juices, Vanilla Custard, and Butterscotch, in the shop they tasted real good, but when I got them home they were totally different, in the shop the Vanilla Custard tasted like Vanilla Custard with a hint of Nutmeg, at home the taste was still there but it was very weak tasting and the Butterscotch I loved, had hardly any taste in fact if it was a blind taste you would never guess it was Butterscotch, I bought both of them in the 12mg the same as the tasters in the shop and the shop was using the same Clearomisers I use, I used two new tanks at home, so can anyone tell me why they should taste so different when I got them home???

It sounds to me like the testers in the shop were older, well steeped juices and the ones you've bought are too new to vape yet. I'd put them in a drawer for a couple of weeks and let them steep

How long had the juice been in the clearomisers?? Does the juice need steeping??

[mowjo]

OK! I never thought of that but I did wonder about steeping! but being fairly new to all this I thought that all ready made juice was ready to go, so do I take it the even ready made juices from say Hangsen will taste better after a week or two's steeping???

Yes its a bit like whisky or brandy the longer you leave it the better it would be (so ive heard dont like the stuff tbh) try leaving them for a week and then taste and see if there is a change. Have you tried it with a new coil??

[flavourtank]

Some ready mades are good to go from when you buy them but some like joosejuice require steeping as they are made as ordered

[mowjo]

Thanks folks! yes both juices were with new coils and tanks that had been washed in hot water and left to dry for a couple of days, I even did the dry burn and priming bit I read on here, I even wondered if the juice I bought was different to the ones they had in the testers! I think your right about the steeping though, I bought some Blueberry juice a couple of days ago and just now when I was putting the two new juices away to steep, I found a bottle of Blueberry I bought about three weeks ago and had forgotten about, I looked at them side by side and the older one is a lot darker and smells more Blueberry, I had a vape on it and it taste and smells great compared to the new one, from now on I think I'll steep all my juices anyway, the ready made juices may be ready to go, but the steeping certainly has a big difference to the smell and taste,,,,,

We all learn new stuff every day ... Hope your juices will steep well and be what you want them to be

I think you've discovered the answer yourself with your Blueberry, by yes, it sounds as though your juices which you bought today were a lot younger than the testers, and need a week or 2 to steep. Never mind, buy some more every week, and in two weeks you will always have new juices steeped and ready to vape!

Certainly sounds that way Andy! now I'll be digging out all those old juices I thought I didn't like and trying them now, I spend hours most days checking out Youtube for information but havn't seen anything about off the shelf juice, plenty on made to order stuff and DIY juice, and about a hundred different ways to steep it, but usually end up back here or on Soulvape, so I'm glad I found this site,,,,
