Store in a cool dark place. Shake vigorously once a day. If it's not a tobacco, try it in a week or so, otherwise 2-3 weeks.

Also, when you find some flavors you're sure you'll use regularly... order some larger sizes right away. Try to have enough to vape while your next batch is aging.

And you're at 5 posts LS! Go to the juice forum now. :D

the best way to steep is to try your juice as soon as it arrives!!

if its good....great

if its ok...good

if it sucks....let it steep

if it still sucks...steeping sucks

one aspect of steeping which i find isnt mentioned nearly as often as it should be.....steeping is not always for the juice itself. sometimes leaving your juice alone for a few weeks will actually change your expectations of the juice and you will approach it with more of a "blank canvas" type of mentality. steeping allows the vaper a more objective view of the liquid in question. And that, my friend, is the real magic of steeping!

Kodiak is correct, thats probably the best way for properly aging, with an occasional opening of the bottle to let it breathe. For smaller quantities though - stick it in your pocket all day, the heat and motion works wonders. Setting the bottle on top of a cable box works too. I've found low consistent heat works the fastest with the least effort. Just aging alone doesn't do much, I have unopened bottles six months old that are still the same color as when they arrived, after a week of heat and agitation, they turn practically black.

you cant "steep" e-juice unless you put some kind of solid into it, like tea or tobacco. You can age your juice tho...
there are several methods of aging your juice.

one steeps tea, and wine is aged e-juice is like wine, depending on the juice, it will either get better or go bad ... just like wines

You don't steep juice. Atomizers don't turn things into atoms. Glassomizers don't turn stuff into glass. Our lingo isn't correct because we started out so fast. No giant companies using their PR departments to make our jargon correct. In all actuality our jargon is half built on china doing google translates for us :)
