I heard from someone in a chat that I can put them in warm water, but they didn't tell me how long I responded late cause I got busy. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this to mature them faster? 
E liquids maturing faster?

Uh.. just something I heard and I'm seeing if anyone knows about it. I was never saying it was wine.
I use the warm bath method to speed up the blending when testing new DIY flavors. I place the bottle in warm water for about 15 minutes. If it is a bigger bottle, you might want to reheat the water and repeat 2 -3 times since the warm water will cool quickly.
NOTE: This is warm water, not boiling.

I find that about 2 weeks of setting in the bottle is enough to steep most of my juices. I have read that some people take the caps off - I don't. I do, though, shake the bottles once every day or so. I have also read somewhere on ECF about sitting the bottle in some warm water, but didn't pay much attention to it, so I can't help you there.
I have notice that smaller quantities steep faster in my experience. For example, it takes at least a good 2 weeks for a 30ml bottle of my favorite juice to steep but if it is in a 5ml bottle it seems to come together sooner.
I have been vaping for over a year and this is the first time I have heard about aging and maturing e-juice.
I often find flavors that I make that are just OK right after mixing are a lot better after a week or two.
I usually fill my wife's ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with hot water, and throw the fresh-mixed bottles in it. Seems to visibly blend everything better than a few minutes of shaking, haven't done a side by side comparison though.

Sweet thanks guys
I already tried this last night, no noticeable change in flavor, but hopefully in the next few days 
You really can't speed up the maturing proccess much. And I'm talking maybe a few hours faster. Most I would suggest ATLEAST a min of 4 - 5 days. But a week to 2 weeks is BEST. Lemme show you a pic of the steeping process I do.

As far as the speeding up. I've tried warm water baths, ice baths, the fridge, the freezer, heating to 70 deg and ice bathing, all the way up to blow drying and dry ice (no lie) but the ONLY for sure method is to just wait it out. Sure you can take fine wine and force it to steep in warm water in 1 day, but does it taste as good as letting it set months or years? Nope. All good things need steep time. Including Chili, Stews, Pot Roasts, etc, etc, etc.. this includes e-liquid. Just give it a lil time.

thank you Jerry.... that's what i was getting at. when i DIY, i shake and vape...
Yup sl, "shake and vape". I first heard of aging e-juice about a week ago and it baffled me, I had been told "the fresher the better". To each his/her own, I guess.

Understood! yeah her e liquids seem to need more maturing than that of Tasty Vapor, but i'm sure it'll be worth it
must be a maturity problem on our part.... i know that when i create a new flavor there's no way that i'm waiting a week to taste it.... damn, my mom was right
I agree, I sure as hell don't wait a week to taste my diy, but I do find that the flavor changes over time. Its not really noticeable unless you don't vape it for a period though.
If I make a flavor and vape right away for a week straight, I don't notice much of a change, because it is gradual. However, if I make a flavor, taste it, then return to it a few days later, there is usually a distinct difference when I compare it to my original tasting notes.
