Steeping (allowing the juice to sit) can improve the taste of a lot of juices. People either let it sit unopened or opened for a week or so.
I have some juices that definitely improve if you let them steep. Particularly juices that are made to order.

When I DIY my liquids I generally just pop it into a glass container and microwave it for 10-15 seconds. This "cooks" the flavors together. Maybe try that. Be careful. My glass dish gets HOT! I use a clear glass votive candle holder.
For me, steeping does not work at all. Everyone is different I guess. It always tastes the same to me whether I got it yesterday or it's been sitting for a year. If that ends up being the case the only thing that will help is changing taste buds, an acquired taste, altering the liquid (DIY), mixing it with another flavor that overpowers it, or possibly different equipment (not very much difference to me).
The best thing to do is just try letting it sit around for a while and see if it starts tasting better!

Steeping will rarely improve a simple single flavoring juice. It can help a flowery juice (flowery from too much flavoring or cream flavors). It can improve a complex juice mixed from multiple flavorings or hand-extracted flavorings. I don't think it will do a darn thing for a simple single flavoring juice
If you want your cartomizers to work well longer then use thin juices (I use 20% or less VG) and avoid all juices that seem to drop flavoring sediment in the stuffing. I can get over 10 days use out of a Boge 510 carto. I already have 14 days use on this one and that is actually 28 days for me - I only use the Boge 510 carto 1/2 the time (and the other 1/2 I vape a KR808D-1). So I have been using the Boge carto 1/2 the time for 28 days as of today.
If you are using cartridge and atomizer, try restuffing the cartridge with blue foam and clean your atomizer. And buy spare atomizers. And try cartomizers. Goodprophets has some blank Rn4081 cartos as does Vaporkings.com.
If you want to try steeping, you pop out the dropper tip (grab with tissue and tilt/pull at the same time), and set the juice somewhere totally safe for several hours to overnight. Then push the dropper back in, recap, and try the juice. If you don't like it yet you just let it sit capped for a week and try again.

Thanks for the tip! Still like your photo. I only realized now it was an ecig. At first I thought it was a mini bayonnette! LOL
Ive had some freshly mixed juices and let them steep, its all about preference for some people. (some people like to steep and some like it fresh) Havent tried the microwave method, just the letting them sit in hot/warm water for 10 minutes (in glass not plastic) My rootbeer flavor got better with steeping but ive had juices that taste like perfume and those never got better, hard as hell to get that taste out of an atty once its in too lol.(the perfume taste)
Can you thin it out to make more liquid? I got 24mg that I think I don't care if I could make more to an equivalent of 18mg or something. Also, I am getting some 26mg next week from Eastmall and would be great for an easy cheap method of having more to vape?
