Hi, I hear many people say that most newly mixed juices need to be steeped for a week or two (or longer) to reach full flavor. What exactly is the correct way to steep a juice?

Hi Voyaging,
Welcome. For me, i simply place my bottles in a dark, dry, cool area to steep. I leave the cap on so no bacteria floats into the bottles and place them into my nightstand drawer away from sunlight and heat. In a week, usually my sweeteners and certain strong flavours mellow out. Some on here place them in the refrigerator. Some give the bottles a warm bath: fill the sink or small basin with warm water halfway, open the bottle caps, then dip the bottles into the warm water for a while.
These are the methods i know of. I know there are more lucrative ways but feel free to search the forums on the top right search bar. Im sure you will find a method that will suit you or you can follow mine.

This is an excellent question. I am not the most patient person and want to accelerate the process as much as possible.
There is a post on the Vapor Chef's website about it that helps but seems there has to be a quicker way?
I will open the bottles up for a little bit when I first get them. Then they go in the steeping drawer for a couple weeks. If I get too anxious, I'll put the bottles in warm water and let them cool to room temp with the water, shaking them whenever I think about it.
Funny, I didn't even know about steeping until I had been vaping for 8 months! So glad you brought this up. Would love more guidance.

I leave mine on a warm, low light shelf as I vape them and they seem to improve as I go through them during the month. Good luck and have fun!
Three things will degrade juice- heat, light and air BUT they can be used to our advantage.
Quick steeping method
Shake bottle and place in bowl of hot tap water for 20-30 mins
Shake, open bottle to evacuate air- recap and place in dark cupboard
Next a.m. shake, open bottle and evacuate air- recap
Next a.m. shake, open bottle and evacuate air- recap
Next a.m. shake and vape
Slower method
Place in dark cupboard and every a.m. shake and evacuate air. Do this for about a week.
or
Place in dark cupboard for about 2-3 weeks.

You can also seal them in a ziplock bag and leave them in glove compartment in your car on a hot day. I wouldn't recommend letting them be exposed to sunlight. UV radiation can react with some of the chemicals in the juices (the nicotine mostly I believe).
