Cap on, or off, do you also remove the needle tip? Which do you find the best for steeping?

All the liquid is properly pre-steeped (for the most part, unless you catch us with our pants down).
We have a ritual...
24 hours with the cap off, shaking every 3-6 hours (generally 3-4 times). Then we cap and store in a cool, dark place until we need the liquid. As a general rule, we try to keep enough liquid steeping at all times so that no one gets a bottle with anything less than 2 weeks pre-steep time on it. That said... all of the liquid gets nothing but better with time. The only flavor I can think of that you might consider hitting fresh out of the box because it "falls off" (for some people) is GCD. That said, even GCD is flavored with the end state in mind, it's just that some people prefer "in your face cinnamon" (I'm one of those people).
With regard to a steep regimen after you receive the bottles - a good shake and an hour or two will suffice for "breathing time" since the liquid is pre-steeped." Generally the liquid is ready to vape when it arrives so no need to do any elaborate ritual to "make it ready." That said, the amount of additional steep time you personally prefer may differ from the next person - so - just do what works for you. As a general rule, I say "if it tastes good, vape it." I think you'll find that's the case with all of our liquid without exception.

I haven't had a NT liquid yet that "needed" a steep but some do get much better ( if that is possible 
) as they mature.

The liquid is very similar to Katy - she's awesome, but gets better with every passing moment. <3
On most of my liquids, I'll shake it up really good then I just leave the cap and dripper cap off for around 24 hours, give or take. I don't really bother shaking most of the time, but sometimes I do if I get around to thinking about it. Then, I button it back up, put it in my steep box for however long I can resist the urge. Usually not long, at least with NT juices anyway.
Working on the "honey points"?
Taki' and I will give you our reviews on the LP Grands shortly . . .
. . . there was a Copper Vein still up the last time I looked.
I. Will. Not. Buy. A. Copper. Vein.
Yes I will.
NO, I won't.
Maybe the above post will get me some slack! (doubtful)
HAHA
Ding!!! Brownie points earned
haha great minds think alike
She just said "awwwww, you're sweet" SCORE!
"Honey points" earned and then lost....
I have faith that Big Daddy' will redeem himself . .. .
I actually haven't tried this with my NT juices yet, but one thing I learned from another vendor is to heat some water on a stove (but not boiling), put a bottle in a ziploc bag and place it in the water while on the stove for about 20 minutes. I'm just too lazy to try it because I'm totally content with the way my NT juices taste now. Might be worth giving a shot, unless Clark says otherwise.
I found this around Christmas (not my pic. Mines blue)
As soon as I get an order it goes in the mailbox until I grab it. I have 15 ml bottles I refill from my 50 ml bottles. I always have an extra bottle of Frenilla in the box and try to have an extra bottle of Doodle. Sometimes (ok most times) I go through Doodle faster than I can back up. Placed an order Thursday and forgot it so another order will be needed soon.
Back to steeping, I don't shake the bottles until I'm refilling. Just being in the dark and time is all I do since most come from NT with a decent steep on it.

LOL - pulled Katy out of lurk mode. MUA HA HA. I love it when an plan comes together.
YMMV on heat steeping - I discourage it, but I am the guy that drives 45mph on the interstate so I can get good gas mileage in my Prius... I'm not in a rush to go anywhere. LOL
