au contraire, mes amis! SOME fruits taste good from the start, but IMHO most fruit flavors and mixtures profit greatly from steeping for a few days. I never judge a new fruit recipe the first week. And tobaccos for the first month (sadly)

Steeping means leaving the capped bottle out of sun light for a period of time to allow time for the components time to reach an entropic state. If you think steeping is something else, or don't know what an entropic state is, please talk to someone else about your issues. I have a closed mind on steeping and have not taught basic physics since my freshman classes when the professor gave up trying to counter my arguements and left the class to me.

Steeping, the way I look at it is ya dont throw some tea in some water and drink it right away. Some element of time is absolutely necessary to let the molecules get married. My personal preference before vaping is at least one day in the ultrasonic, four days without. Even those juices that go through the ultrasonic still benefit from just plain ole time. Imo you really dont know what you have until actual, unavoidable time passes.

There are as many different opinions on steeping as there are flavors.. cap on, cap off, ultrasonic or not, sunlight no sunlight, heat, dont heat.. The one common theme is that time is involved.... how much or little will be your personal preference that can only be developed through time and experience.
