    So I just ordered new juice and they made them when I ordered them whats the best way to steep them? Thanks

    What sparkky1 said, espcially if buying from a third party like Giant Vapes.

    If I know the juice will be made fresh, like from Mt. Baker or Good Life, I usually take the caps and tips off overnight to let the liquid "breath" and expel any nuisance/built up aromas. The next morning, after I reassemble the tips and caps, I'll stick them in a drawer for up to 2 weeks.

    If the juice tastes good foob (fresh out of the box), then by all means enjoy it. Most folks here will say more complex juices will tastes better after a few weeks.

    A lot of people take it further with hot baths and sonic cleaners to speed the process, I tend to be more patient.

    I've ordered from different places and usually never had to steep .but a few I did have to. I just shook it up real good took top off about 30 mins let bubbles disapear let set. Close repeat a couple more times. If I'm not gonna use right yet I put in drawer (out of light) next day shake open then close back till I get ready to use it. Some do it a week or two I usually do a few days then see if its at my taste level. Hope this helps some.. So many different ways tho. I try to do the easiest :)

    That is EXACTLY what I did - and only when I didn't like it right away.
    I found that most often with tobaccos and vanillas. But anything that has a chemical or alcohol kind of smell or taste, this is worth trying.

    Some took a pretty long time to change, but they do change...

    I mix my own now, and it's good fresh, but definitely changes for the better in about 7-10 days (it changes color pretty dramatically, too).

    For myself, if juice needs steeping, I'll take the cap off maybe only 10 minutes or so daily , and give it a good shaking once or twice a day....I'll do this daily for a week about, then less often whenever I feel like it. I'd be afraid of losing some flavor if I left the cap off for extended periods.
