Because of some info I read on this fine site, I went ahead and gave steeping a try. I left a bottle of juice open and without the dropper in the closet for just one day and what a difference it has already made. It may just be in my head, but the flavor seems richer and the throat hit is a little more intense. I cant imagine what it will be like with some more time "seasoning". I say if you havent tried steeping then give it a go! You may just enjoy your vaping experiance all the more. Happy vaping!!
Give steeping a try.

It's amazing what a little steeping will do for some juices.
For a little quicker way to get the flavors to come out (some liquids can take up to two weeks to get their best flavor), try heating up some water in the microwave and letting your bottle of juice hang out in there for a bit. the sweeter flavors will really come out. fyi, i have also heard of people letting it sit in the dash of their car on a warm day.
just a quick tip from a dumb broad. do NOT heat up the juice in the microwave! i thought i'd save a step by heating up a new glass bottle of juice for just a few seconds. i swear i only left it in there less than 10 seconds, but half the juice bubbled out....wasted. and the bottle was so hot i couldn't touch it for quite a while. so as i suggested in another thread, and "mathmaticus" also did above, heat a bowl of water then let the bottles "bathe" in it for a few minutes.
i'm sure nobody else is dumb enough to do what i did, but just in case.....you have been warned! ♥

Once you find some flavors you like its best to try to get an order ahead. I order 7 30 ml bottles at the first of every month. That leaves a month to let it steep. Works out perfect.
Just not to generalize this, taste is subjective and such is reaction to juices after steeping.
I got 1 tobacco and 2 fruits that are unvapable to me after 2 weeks of steeping. Nothing special, just left them sitting in drawer whilst finishing something else.
Of course there is also opposite experience. 7 bottles from mbt that I thought will be thrown away or passed to somebody who liked them. After almost 2 month in drawer the soap flavor vanished and they are almost gone. 1 of them is just menthol now tho, instead of being fruits with lil menthol hit, it's like vaping menthos
But, at least, no motor oil or soap

LOL your not dumb I always call it learning.
As for steeping I let Mother Nature due her thing with my juice. But then I let it steep for 4 weeks also. (Lucky enough to have ordered in advance).
You'd be surprised some of the things I've put in the microwave. (CDs, lightbulb in a glass of milk, etc.) This one I'd probably have tried had I not seen a warning post here at one point.
As no one has mentioned it yet in this thread, ultrasonic cleaners rock for steeping. I have a couple of bottles in mine right now.
Ok but how do I know if I just hate a flavor or if I just need to let it steep? For instance I ordered jet apple medley. I HATED it because it tasted like real apples, I ordered a different apple blend from a different company and hated that as well, so I guess I just hate apple e juice and even after steeping them it didn't help. How can you taste something and just know that steeping it would make you like it?
Edit: By saying I hated it because it tasted real means it tasted like biting into one of those softer red apples and those are gross, to me, at least.

thank you for letting me feel just a little bit less dumb
After you hear some of the things I've pulled (especially when alcohol was involved) you'll feel like a freakin' genius!
We now return you all back to the topic.
I'd say if you still don't like it after 2-3 weeks, give it away. Personal opinion though.
Thanks for all the added info. I just gave it a try because I just wanted to see what happened. I liked the juice to begin with and wanted to see if I could make it better. Im going to try a couple different methods and see what happens!!!
My findings are: if you absolutely don't like a juice the first time you try it, give it away. If you're just kind of "meh" then let it steep and it'll probably get better.
Kelli, you crack me up, I was just about to warn.
Don't heat in microwave and if you put into very hot water make sure that the top is
not sealed.
Thank gosh that you didn't have it sealed, it could have burst or exploded.
Sounds like I'm closing the barnyard door after the horses have escaped.!
Hmm, this whole steeping thing is completely new to me but it seems everyone is talking about it. I recently started ordering a lot of different favors from different vendors to try and they all have a perfumery quality (except my Copper Creek "House Blend" which is fantastic, but seems to be diminishing in flavor for me, hence the new flavors). Does steeping help the perfumery flowery notes? Should I only leave the caps off for 1 day? Is shaking important? I've heard if flavors aren't good out of the box, they won't ever be, and I've heard the opposite that many come back to juices they disliked and later love them.
