i assume its just letting the juice sit for a bit while the top is off to let some air in. am i missing something? i only get 10ml bottles, should i be steeping?
Do explain steeping.

If its made to order then probably,the flavor improves if you steep it ,some juices that I have purchased on my quest tasted just plain nasty when I first got them but became one of my favorites after sitting for a week or two.......I don't leave the top off for more than a day though...best of luck I hope this helps
...on sweet/fruit flavs, take the top off for an hour or two if they are perfumey smelling...leave the tops on otherwise or with tobacco flavs...also, steeping only helps with freshly blended juices and in my experience, after a week, further steeping is of limited use...my opinion and experience only...........

You are basically allowing an ejuice to sit for anywhere from a few hours to a
month or more. Steeping allows things to "settle in" so-to-speak. Many juices
can benefit from steeping, and their tastes will change over time. Some juices
that you may have thought tasted horrible when you first get them or create
them, may be the best thing ever after sitting for a few days or longer.
Never toss a juice you don't like without letting it steep at least a few days
and try it again. You never know, you may end up loving it in the end.
Hope this helps,

Many juice vendors that I have delt with will write a note on my invoice as to whether or not the juice I bought needs to sit for a while. I try to maintain 2 or 3 juices that I know are good to vape right out of the mailbox so I don't leave myself without anything to fill my tanks with.
My take is that juices are a mixture of different chemical substances and it takes a while at the molecular level for the combination to thoroughly combine. Juices tend to darken after a week or so. That, in itself, tells us that something is going on past just a mixing stage.
It's probably similar to spaghetti always being better the next day if you put the sauce on it and store it in the refrigerator. If you keep the sauce separate, it's about as unremarkable as the first day it was made.

It's like sleeping, only you replace the L with a T..... and the juice rests. lol. Or like letting tea steep.
You don't usually need to have the top off, IMO. Some juices may require it, if they have alcohols in them for example. Also a warm water bath and frequent shaking are both rumored to hasten the process.
Steeping is real. Flavors mingle and mellow. Duration is debatable and subjective, and there is as much variability in the process as there are juice recipes.

I DIY and I do not steep with the tops off .... I don't find it necessary. I find that a few days of steeping to be beneficial with some juice flavors, although I have mixed plenty that were good to go from the start.
Some vapers swear by it, and some can't be bothered.
