Steeping E-Liquids SafelyThe process of “steeping” is when e-liquids are agitated, gently heated and allowed to “breathe” in order to help improve the flavor.There is?some disagreement?about the necessity of complex procedures, but effectively the goal is to allow any perfumey-tasting alcohol elements to evaporate off and to both protect the integrity of the flavorings and allow them to blend together or “mature.”There are?numerous different methods?you can use to steep your e-liquids, but generally they involve shaking the e-liquid regularly, leaving it in a dark place and – at least periodically – taking the cap off to allow evaporation and circulation of air.If you follow the general advice on e-liquid safety so far, you’ll be able to steep safely, but there are a couple of unique concerns that are worth addressing.Key PointsFind a cool, dark and dry place to steep e-liquid, following the same basic rules as when storing it.Cupboards and cabinets are ideal, but if you’re using a box, make sure it’s put somewhere out of reach of children and pets – especially if you steep with the cap off!Double-check that the cap is firmly screwed on before shaking, and if you squeeze air out of the bottle, don’t rush it.There is little to no risk of bacterial or fungal contamination when you’re steeping liquids, but keep open bottles away from obvious sources of contamination!All liquid steeps, changes color, and will slightly change flavor.?It’s like a big science experiment honestly. I will usually let liquids sit for about a week before I vape them. If you don’t like a liquid at first, come back to it a few weeks later and see if anything has changed.?–?Nick “GrimmGreen” Green?(GrimmG)[Steeping safety is] essentially the same as storage. If you steep with an open lid, do so?only while you can directly watch over the e-liquid.?–?Steve K?(Steve K’s Vaping World)Safe E-Liquid Steeping PracticesAs when storing e-liquids, it’s best to find a dark, dry and cool place if you’re leav
