Kinda depends on how long you've been vaping and how well your taste buds have recovered. Tastes change. I've done it long enough to see and taste what steeping does. I have some juice that was toxic 4 months ago, and could still burn your nose hairs off just taking a whiff, went an ugly florescent green, no worries, it came from out of the country. I have some MBV that I got back in January, still hit it occasionally and it's better than what I remember, which was good anyway.
When you start vaping, go with flavors your taste buds KNOW. Don't get some strange named concoction that you have no clue as to what it's supposed to "taste" like....unless you've got bucks to burn and they come in sample sizes. Stick to what your tongue knows and go from there.
I have one "go to" vendor, some juice is fantastic right out of the bottle, others take at least a week, others a month. They're complex flavors and I wouldn't have appreciated them one bit, had I tried them almost a year ago. My nic level is lower, 24mg down to 11mg, my vape gear has changed dramatically from when I first started <-----that ALSO makes a huge difference, nic levels, VV, VW, top/ bottom, dual, coils, dripping, etc, etc.
I'd recommend anyone first starting to go to MBV. They are the company that is part of the standard, if not THE standard for vapers getting their feet wet, and many who just like a juice that is what it says it is, no detective work. And you don't have to steep if you don't want to, just order extra flavor shots. They also have varying nic, pg, vg, sweetener levels, so you can get a "custom order" without giving up an arm and a leg. In my opinion, they are part of the "learning curve" we all go through finding our juice ingredient levels.
I spent very little finding and adjusting my nic, pg, and vg levels with MBV. I also learned about steeping, just by cracking open a bottle of MBV that had been sitting for a few months, taking a vape and wondering why I had put it back on the shelf when I first got it.
If you have a funky bottle of juice, set it aside, shake it occasionally, get a blank cart, fill it up and try it every few weeks. You've got nothing to loose and very rarely does a crappy pre-made juice continue to be crap. And then you've got to ask yourself if you just don't like that particular flavor?
