I find the longer I let a juice steep the deeper the flavor is, I've made up and used some DIY when I was out of pre-made, but I find if I let a juice sit a few days or even a week or two, it really brings out the flavor on mixed blends etc.

The more I vape, the more i find it universally true except for maybe 5% of the time, that more steeping is better. On average, most juices I used need a good 5-7 days minimum before they are vapeable. Thats just my opinion. One exception for me was Boba's Bounty, it was good right out of the mail.
If the juice flavor is improperly mixed then let it "steep". The flavors will loose strength after a while and have a weaker taste later on.
If I purchase a flavored juice I expect the flavor to be right when it arrives at my mail box, not after I let it "steep" for a while. Don't fall for the "steeping" excuse.

Steeping definitely let's a juice develop fully and is well worth doing. That's not to say you can't give your juices a try straight out of the mail box, sometimes you just can't wait. My general rule is minimum 7 days for PG dominant juices and minimum 14 days for VG dominant juices.
As a DIY'er who has limited experience with commercial juice, having only bought 3 bottles of the stuff, I have found that steeping beyond a matter of a day or two only serves to make the juice worse. As a matter of fact I try to vape only fresh juice and I find that I get the most flavor out of it. As time goes on, and it sits and bakes inside my tanks - that which is not vaped, and added fresh juice anew, gets relegated to my cartomizers, which I vape because I am not wasteful and it still has nicotine in it, even though it tastes like garbage.
Were the 3 bottles of commercial juice you purchased made to order or pre-mixed? I've never had a juice taste worse after steeping, some don't improve, but none have gotten worse.
i accidentally 30ml of gorilla juice behind my dresser for about a year will this kill me?

My experience is that some juice flavors improve with some age (steeping), others do not. In general my impression is that the "organic" and "real tobacco" juices tend to benefit from this most.
The suppliers of eliquid who have been in the industry the longest, do NOT require any "steeping" at all. IMO, those suppliers who require their elqiud to be steeped to be any good, are just getting the consumer to do their job for them.
Are you talking about suppliers who sell pre-mixed or made to order juice? Someone like Ms T's juices definitely benefit from steeping and they've been in the game a fair while.
I've heard Boba's has a dramatic change after steeping - I'm on my first bottle now, hopefully it lasts long enough for me to find out!
i try to wait but most of the time i start vapring right away and by the time i get to the last of it its so good i wish i had waited
i'm new to this, but i think you air yer bottle out for a period of time (a day or two?) in a dark place (cabinet) and then close it up and just let it sit in the dark for another extended period of time (a week or more?).
someone feel free to correct me, i'm sure i got some part of that wrong.
I don't want to have to wait on my juice for a couple of days or even weeks. 
I vape them as soon as i get them

I know I mixed some of my own, my first thought was that it was un-vapable, absolutely disgusting. Even though I had carefully read and understood what quantities to use and in my opinion was dealing with high quality ingredients. I thought there must be some secret techniques of the juice makers that allowed them to sell juice that actually tasted good. But that didn't really make sense. So I read some more,found out about steeping. I tossed my DIY juice into a cup of near boiling water, let it cool, then tossed it on a closet shelf for a cople of days. Result? Perfectly excellent juice,I'm vaping it right now. Was that the best technique? I don't know,it's just what I did. But the difference between this and what it was freshly made, there is no comparison. I also agree that if I pay retail for ready to go juice,it should be ready to go.
