Questions about steeping....SILLY NOOB QUESTIONS!!

[bunkindoodle]

Ok, so I bought an E-roll from LiteCigUSA and I also got some juices from AVE (Apple Jolly Rancher, Gummy Bear, Boba's Bounty, etc.) which came on the same day. Up until then, I was using disposable Logic e-cigarettes. I just have some questions about steeping. First, how it is done? How long should most e-juices steep for? I've been reading that you should leave them in a cool dark place like a closet. The only thing is I have like 30 sample juices and if I steep them all, then I will have nothing to vape. Got a couple of sample packs from Aqua Vapor Cigs that came today along with my eGo CE starter kit that came with 5 CE4 clearos.

I'm just kinda confused about steeping. I started vaping about a month ago with the Logics, so I'm really really a newbie when it comes to the upgraded equipment.

I apologize for all the silly questions but I want to have an enjoyable vaping experience and I'm just not familiar with steeping.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

It's actually a really good question. Subscribing for the variety of answers, in hopes there's a consensus.

Welcome , and some juices , don't need steeping . Some do . Usually the vendor will say if they do , or not . I usually put them on a shelf , in my closet , with the top cap removed , for a day . Then put the cap back on , and leave for a week , or more . Shake ( mix ) everyday , if you think of it . As far as no juice to vape , while the others are steeping . Try a few of them , and see how they taste . If they're good , they might be even better with steeping . If they stink , steeping might improve them a bit , but will still not be great . Boba's was one I hated , until it steeped for a few weeks . Another was from backwoods brew . I think , all of their juices improve with steeping . Well at least that's how I do it . Good Luck .

From what I understand juice only needs steeping if it was made fresh when you ordered it. I don't know about other sources by Mt Baker Vapor is a mix to order vendor so their stuff normally needs steeped at least a day or two. If it pre-packaged juice (meaning not made to order) then it is probably already steeped.

I personally just shake mine up open the top and leave a day or two, close it up and shake daily for a few more days. Some have said that dipping the closed bottles in warm water can speed up the process. I have not tried that. Juice tends to change color as the flavor becomes bonded with the PG/VG mixture.

I leave mine next to computer vent. Couple of hours should work.

All of my juices from Aqua Vapor Cig came with shrink wrapping around it (kinda like the top of contact lens solution), so am I wrong to assume that it was not made fresh?

I have an iMac so the vent is actually elevated off the back of my desk. LOL!!!

Any decently heated place would do. A hot water bath could also help.

Ok, I put them all in coffee cups with hot water from my water cooler.
