Do juices get better if steeped? And how long? I've been reading about steeping...so far we are so anxious to get the order that we try it right away...is it better to wait?

It depends. Some need steeping ,others dont change at all some times.
If you try it and like it.............vape it!
If you try it and it tastes extra strong or chemically . Let it set for a few days and try again.
Theres really no set rules.

I know when i was getting juice from backwoodsbrew it needed to steep... That was months ago, just did a new order from there, but with the way don dose his juices I think it'll still need some steep time. I've also gotten juices from others that needed no steep time at all, I think its a personal judgement call

I asked a vendor once on how to steep. They replied with, out of sunlight, cool & dark. Shake it vigorously one time a day. Smell and taste every 4 days or so. It worked in about 2 weeks. This is a great time to get your drip skills perfected.
i got some Parkes Snickerdoodle and it needed a couple days to get right...
MsTs requires steeping...
Vapor Bomb Snickerdoodle does not need steeping imo.

By no means an expert, but I uncap/remove dropper tip on every new bottle of juice and let sit overnight in dark cabinet. After that recap and shake once a day then drip to taste. Some are good the next day, some have taken weeks. Unfortunately some never blossomed, but that's the risk of experimenting... On the plus side, I cleaned a couple of the 3.7ml sample bottles which work great for taking a couple flavors with me when I go out

Okay, if you want to steep a juice, put a tea bag in it or maybe a cinnamon stick. Aging a juice sometimes helps. Most do change a little over time and sometimes a miracle happens. Lousy juices usually stay lousy, good juices can get better. Great juices often get even better. Darn shame to get a new juice and hope it gets better so you can stand it.

i've heard that if it tastes "chemically" to take the cap off for about an hour a day for a week and that taste would go away.
What everyone else said! It depends not only on the vendor, but also on the juice! Some recipes are fantastic straight out of the mailman's hands, and others require a week or two (sometimes longer), to hit their sweet spot. My personal experience has been that single or double note fruits are usually good the day they arrive, sweet deserts generally need about a week, and coffee and caramel flavors can take as little as a week or as long as a month.
As said previously, drip them when they arrive - if you like them fill a carto or clearo, or method of your choice. If not, squirrel them away for a few days, then drip test again, lather, rinse, repeat as needed.
There will be flavors that you never like, and those can usually find a good home with someone who DOES like them in any number of ways:
1.) let your vaping friends try them & if they like them, instant gift!
2.) post them on the Pay it forward thread,
3.) sell them in the classifieds
4.) take them to a local vapers meet with you and offer them up to a good home with someone who will appreciate them - I did that last night & love it because everybody wins - I no longer have 2 juices that made me want to rinse my mouth out, and a fellow vaper found 2 new flavors he liked after vaping the same thing for 3 years! Win/Win
Taste in juice is subjective & only you will know when the flavor is ready for you.

Thank you...gonna check out the Pay if Forward thread... I LOVE vaping & ECF!!!!
Will have to try this as there are a few favors that I thought were pretty muted upon first impression.
I take back my last post about steeping everything I get. Just got some 18mg BWB Malty Toffee and it is absolutely delicious right out of the mailman's hands!!!!
In my experience most juices are best after a week or two and sometimes 3plus. Bakery types seem to benefit the most and fruits the least. I give everything at least a week before trying it.
