Steeping e-juice is a great way for you to become more involved in your own vaping experience. When you steep your vape juice, you help the nicotine and flavorings to combine with the liquid, increasing the potency and flavor. It’s similar to aging wine. The older the wine, the more complex the taste. You don’t want to leave your vape juice sitting for years, though. Most vapers steep their juice for 2–3 weeks or maybe even a few months. But after about two years, vape juice will start to lose potency and flavor. When you purchase vape juice, check to see if it has an expiration date. Some might even give you a “born-on,” date so you know exactly how old it is. Use this information to ensure that it isn’t steeping for too long. If you make your own e-juice, you will find that it tastes better after steeping than when it’s freshly made. To get the best flavor possible out of your juice, place it in a cool, dark place, like a drawer, cabinet, or box, for a few weeks. Every few days, take your juice out and shake it vigorously. This helps the molecules interact within the liquid. If you notice that your liquid is turning brown or getting darker, your steeping is working.
