Steeping and Breathing

Maybe some sort of tupperware container. Just pop the lid open every so often to let it breath if your doing the lids open stage. If not seal it up and no worries from any critters.

 

I've found some juices improve with steeping while others don't seem to change. Moo Juice, for example, tastes better after steeping (or breathing or aging or whatever). Cinnamon Roll has always tasted good right away, and might (hard to know for sure) improve a bit after awhile.

Sometimes a juice will have some alcohol content that causes a bad flavour when the juice is fresh. But with steeping, it allows that alcohol to evaporate out of the juice and then you can taste the flavour as it's supposed to be. I just had an order arrive today, and one of the juices was MBV's Caramel Candy. Tastes absolutely shit - like burnt toast or burnt plastic - just disgusting - no caramel nor candy whatsoever. I strongly suspect (and hope) that's caused by un-evaporated alcohol - time will tell.

I like to keep my place bug free, so I don't leave open bottles around. What I do is just open the bottles for awhile when I'm sitting at the kitchen table wrapping coils or doing whatever. I'll shake them up really well, then squeeze the bottle repeatedly to help exchange the air at the top of the bottle. I'll repeat that process a few times for each bottle, and after a few days or a week they sometimes taste better.

I usually never wait to vape a juice when it arrives. If the flavour is a bit muted in the beginning so be it. I change flavours constantly, so a 30ml bottle lasts quite awhile and if steeping helps it, then it'll just get better as I go through the bottle. As for that Caramel Candy though - that came unvapeable - it's the only time I've had a juice that might truly need steeping. Either that or it's a bad batch.

 

I like to think of it as similar to camping, but the camper has no wheels.

The impression I'm getting is it has a lot to do with simple aging. I'm also starting to think the higher end juice is more costly, because the manufacturers do the steeping before shipping and that's at least one factor in why they cost so much. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's the impression I'm getting so far.

That is actually the direction I'm leaning toward. It may not be the best process, but in the conditions I'm in it my be the lesser of evils...so to speak.

 

Fill the container with a little bit of water and put the juices that you want to steep in it, the ants will not have the chance to reach your juices and you don't have to seal it of.
