I agree with the others who steep with the cap on. The Pros say, for the best results, shake vigorously, breathe momentarily with the cap off, recap and shake again, store, and repeat a few times for a day or two, then store it for a week or so. The little air bubbles do the work for you, so shake it vigorously. Leaving the cap off for a day or two will reduce the nicotine mg strength. It should also be kept in a cool, dark place... at all times, really. Heat will also reduce the nicotine mg strength. You never want Sunlight to hit the juice. Both the Sun's heat and light rays can damage the juice. Amber glass bottles block damaging light rays, and Cobalt blue is even better at blocking damaging light.
Do I follow all of that steeping procedure all the time? Generally, No, but I DIY with noncomplex mixes. Most of my juices can be used quickly. However, I have found that steeping does help develop flavor, and subtle nuances. For example, a Banana Cream may taste like mostly (or only) Banana at first, but after steeping, the Cream flavor will develop. When a juice isn't good enough to vape, then I steep it. But I do use Amber and Cobalt glass bottles with glass droppers, and my tanks are always Pyrex. I have found that plastics (tanks and/or bottles) effect the taste of any juice.
