Yes, e-liquid.

The sunshine? Morocco. (That was where I first noticed it - it has happened since in warmer climes).

My guess is that the color change it due to oxidation.
And the "maturing" is most likely just diffusion.

Where are the chemists at when you need them?
Paging Kurt or DVap.....

Right here!

I'm a chemist and I know about these things. For full and proper aging, place the e-liquid in a crystal bottle, wrap it in a silken rag, and bury it at midnight under the light of a full moon in a hole dug with a silver spade. Wait a fortnight (or two weeks, whichever comes first) and have a virgin dig up the bottle. If you don't know any virgins, find your least slutty friend. The ancient text wasn't really all that clear on the point.

You might find that you now have a perfectly aged e-liquid. You'll definitely be sorry you asked me.

You forgot the part about how you have to dance naked with the devil in the pale moonlight.

That is optional and only recommended for those with the body to pull it off. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, the e-liquid won't like it either. Do not offend the juice.

To the original point of the thread.

Steeping is a terribly inaccurate term to use for the reasons put forth by the OP.

Anything descriptive will suffice: Aging, maturation, mellowing, resting, ripening... it's all good.

I prefer the more technical term: Goodening.

I've seen some liquids that get worse with time. This is, of course, the undesirable outcome known as Baddening.
