Tam, if you are using an eGo batt and a 306 or 510 atty you only need this drip shield and an XL drip tip for 306.

I have noticed if you continue to vape in the car with the windows up a film will build up on the windshield. It is very easy to clean though unlike analogs.
I could of sworn I read somewhere that a warm water bath helps steeping time. (placing the bottle in a warm bowl of water) Cant say I've ever tried this
I agree with Danpio, the silver tube that attaches to the base is the only way I see juice getting to that point of the batt. That part does come off the base I personally haven't taking it off but I know it does.
Got a chest X-Ray a couple weeks ago and the results came back unremarkable. It went on to say very good for a 55 year old. And I smoked for about 40 years
Most of the time the shipping should be long enough but some juice needs to be opened or if it's sealed in a way that no air has gotting in. Not saying to open it and keep the lid off that's a different process all together. I personally don't steep but I do buy multiple bottles so it has steeped for weeks in some cases. Can't say with the juices I like I notice much of a difference though? Hope this helps a bit
