As a rule of thumb How long shall i steep different types of juices.
Ie. Fruity Dessert Custards
Purely because im new and ive made an IVG blackcurrent lemonade from their concentrate which is great straight away and a h'berg type which is nice around 70 watts on a 0.13 duel
Ive just made a simple recipe i found of
Sweet strawberry and vanilla bean ice cream Smells amazing already and i dont know how long to steep it for
Really depends on the flavors used. You can search for specific flavors if you want. In general, fruits are shake and vapeable to a day. Creams 4-5 days. Custards (unless INW Custard) and tobaccos 2 weeks to months.
Agreed with this comment. To add, I typically just try flavors whenever after the above timeframe. Usually I keep a pile of fresh juice waiting so I don’t have to watch my steep times. I just grab the next flavor when I run out. If I try it and don’t like it I just put it at the back of the line. The next time it comes up if I still don’t like it I toss it. Not very scientific but after maintaining meticulous records for my first year of mixing I decided the low tech option was easier to manage.
Yep, I have a cardboard box that I keep my steeping juices in, the one furthest to the left is next at bat, the most recently mixed is to the right. I grab from the left and put new stuff on the right, keeps things dead simple. By the time I finish one bottle generally speaking the furthest left is ready to go.
Thanks mate, really helps. Any advice on my H berg its a little stronger than id like shall i add a couple more ml of vg?
I know that the vanilla bean Ice cream can work as a shake and vape, I think it's best after about a week. I mostly stick to custards, creams, desserts, cakes, cookies, etc. And I can tell you those usually take a week to come through, although they just get better and better with time.
Fruity Vapes can be shake and vape but it depends what you add because some recipes tend to come off as perfume-y. I'd say at least 5 days for fruit.
Tobacco's and any super strong chocolates or rich flavors such as will usually need to "streathe" which is steeping and breathing and some may not taste right until they sit for a month or so.
You only need to worry about breathing if it has alcohol (or a flavor you wanna dull) and even then only for a few hours.
If you want any way to speed up the process, you don't really need to get anything fancy if you just wanna give it a little boost, get creative! There's two main ways of steeping; heat, and shaking/vibration. For instance, I will set my bottles on my Xbox for a few hours and then leave them on the bubbler of my fish tank that vibrates for 1-3 days. It really takes a ton of waiting time away, I don't really worry about steeping when I do this, changes color in the first day tremendously.
Thats a really interesting way of doing it, i dont have a fishtank but ill think of something to test it for myself though, thanks for the advice! Really appreciated
