I also use WL for my nic although, Hoosier, I will check out Vapers Tek. I haven't been mixing for long, started in March of this year. I learned a lot over in another forum and continue to gather more knowledge here. I do not in the least consider myself to be an expert, but I do consider myself a good diy'er because mine vapes better than what I can purchase. That's good enough for my tastes and I'm not forcing them on others. I did, however, sell a bottle of my juice to one of the guys at my local B&M, because he shared my opinion of that particular flavor of juice....I presume.
My experience has been that some mixes taste great right off the bat and no matter how long they sit (cap on or off) the flavor doesn't change. Not better, not worse. If I'm not mistaken, nicotine loses on average approximately 3% potency over a year's time. I seriously doubt that leaving the cap off for a few days is going to seriously degrade your nic...storing it in a well lit area might, though.
Some flavors, though, do taste much better after they've sat around for awhile. My RY4, for instance, tastes really good right off the bat, but after 2 weeks, it tastes almost borderline divine. Has a lot to do with the chemical composition of what you're mixing, IMO. I like the spaghetti sauce analogy earlier...has a lot of truth to it when it comes to certain flavor combinations. I make a Smurfberry with Strawberry, Blueberry, Marshmallow, and Bavarian Creme....vapes great right off and never changes flavor or color. The current bottle I have of it has been around for about 3 weeks. Different flavors for different people and different styles.
If everything worked exactly the same for everybody, what's the point of doing it.
Edit: Forgot to mention what qualifies my statements; Majored in Meteorology and Psychology (the latter being irrelevant in this matter, Meteorology does have some basis), Minored in Chemistry in college, 3.9 GPA
The chemistry proved helpful in my apprenticeship to a sous chef at a major restaurant in the Clearwater, Fl area in the early 90's. That should help to qualify my statements about mixing of flavors somewhat.
