Steep time chart
submitted over 6 years ago by ihsaaan

Does anyone know of a chart with all the concentrates and their suggested steep times or can I make one?

There are a lot of variables. The optimal steep time of a flavor can be much different depending on what you mix it with and how much of it you mix into a recipe. You can make a helpful chart of generalities, like which concentrates are generally shake and vapeable, which ones need a couple of days, a week, two weeks, a month, etc., but I’m concerned that people will take it too literally.... “I found this chart that said all these ingredients are shake-ready therefore this recipe that contains 6 of them is” or “That has a little bit of a two week ingredient in it so it’s gotta be steeped for two weeks” when that’s just not right.

I don't know of one, but that would definitely be something I'd be interested in! 👍

Flavorah has a pretty nice guide for steep times on their entire line. https://www.flavorah.com/resources-information/mixing-with-flavorah/

Ok I'll set it up.. if anyone is interested in contributing as I don't know the suggested steep time of every concentrate out there it would be appreciated. Reply if you would be willing to assist

In general:

citrus - SnV (or overnight)
other fruits - mostly SnV
creams/custards/baked goods - week or two
tobacco (OTF^) - one month
tobacco (NOTF^
) - overnight
most V2/DX flavors - 2 months * # of such flavors in recipe, minimum.

are you talking about flavours such as the various cap v2? What's the reason they need such a long steep?

Yes, any flavor that contains butyric acid (vomit flavor) needs a long steep.

Ah ic.. I've heard a simple solution is that if you have two flavours where the first only needs 1 day to steep and the second 14 days then you should steep for 14 days. Basically steep based in the concentrate that requires the most steep days

Bulk steep as a single flavor, then add in the 'day 1 flavs' and vape away.

I did try ( Custrad now Recipe ) + RY4 Double 4% + VC V2 CAP 1% for a week steep its real good but im sure as much as its age its better. So here can we say its A week steep or its 2-4 weeks because there is VC (Cap) and RY4 ?

Perhaps a capable steep and a recommended steep? Two separate columns

10/10 Would be useful.
