I let a bunch of my juices breathe for too long I think. The nicotine was too much for me so I let them breathe for about 10 hours. I also put them in hot water for a couple hours and it's been steeping for more than a week. Now I try the juices, the peppery/stinging nicotine sensation is down, but there is hardly any flavor. I'm not sure what I can do now. It's +$100 worth of premium juices.
I think I ruined my juices

Nothing to be done but shake 'n' vape, baby. Honestly, I can't imagine that 10 hours uncapped would let all the flavor escape. Some people uncap for days, though that's pretty excessive. Maybe your tongue took a little vape-vacation while you weren't looking. With any luck, they'll be tasting good in a day or two. I hope so!
You could always buy the same juice , order it either no nice or half the amount of nic and mix and hope the flavor enhances.
Or you can buy just some DIY flavors that correlate to what the flavor is supposed to be on the ones you have and add till the taste suits you.

Don't know what you bought........or expected, but the liquids should not have changed drastically from anything you did.
The only way to reduce high nic is dilute. Venting will only increase oxidation and cause quicker darkening.
Heat Steeping is a common practice, especially with complex or tobacco flavors as they take the most time to mature.

Could you tell us what brand or who made the juice and what nicotine level ?
They are a bunch of juices from The Standard Vape. Nicotine level 12 and 18.
Variable Wattage(Smok xpro M80) with RDA(Royal Hunter). Dual micro coils with about .4 ohms. I use 50-70 wattage. I'm currently making new bigger coils to covers more surface area. I'll report back when I tested it.
I also tried it on a mech with a kayfun lite. I taste more of the previous flavor than what I put in the tank.
Some of the creams will take another week to come around but try re wicking the RDA and adjust the wattage starting lower, not every flavor is going to taste good @ 70 watts and I will add 18 - 12 nic would be way to harsh for me to handle on an RDA with low ohm dual's.
At those wattages you need a maximum of 6 mg nic I would think. most seem to do about 3 mg vaping at high wattage.
I think I'm just going to let it steep for another week or two. It's really strange how there is barely any flavor. Maybe because the nicotine is so overpowering I can't take good hits?
Try building a 1.2 ohm single coil and wick it well, start out @ 25 watts and go up a little if you need to, when you order next time try 6 - 3 nic you can add a little of the other to play around with the nic levels but 6 should be plenty and go back to your lower dual ohm builds.
I have decided it's best For Me to steep Without any heat other than maybe letting the package sit in the hot car for a couple hrs. before I open it and start shaking. I would think that on the hottest day, the inside of the package might get to 120F inside the car, not That hot.
Nicotine starts to degrade around 150F.
We are Consistently Told to steep in COOL, dark places.
I can easily see flavorings being Especially heat sensitive. The only real reason to warm the juice is to raise the viscosity some so that the thicker juice will shake better. Just shake it Longer and more often.
I don't think any small positive from heating is worth the Extreme possible negative result of flavor/Nicotine degradation.
