Steeping refers to juices. You shake the juice, then pop out the dropper tip (grab with a tissue and tilt the tip and pull and the same time) and set the open bottle somewhere safe from kids. pets and spills for several hours to overnight. Then push the dropper tip back in, recap, shake and give it a try. If still flowery let it sit closed for a week and try again. I can't be bothered with that so I just avoid flavor with cream and cheesecake and any others I have bought that were flowery. One exception - that chocolate fudge bavarian cream from madvapes is flowery but somehow I feel compelled to vape it anyway.
And this is how I fill, cleanup, settle KR8 cartos, and then how I keep damp while vaping.

How I fill Vapor4Life KR8 cartos and Boge 510 cartos
With the carto off the battery... Pop out the soft cap with an unbent paperclip in the mouth hole, very careful not to catch stuffing or the wire loop.
Shake and open the eliquid
Fill
Hold a bit of tissue on the threaded end hole (or use the carto condom spike to block the hole),, tilt the carto, and add 18 drops per ml of capacity into the stuffing (Boges and most KR8 cartos are about 1ml).
Wait 15 seconds or so then see how many more drops the carto stuffing will soak in easily.
Cleanup
Clean up the threaded end, tilt open end down into tissue, puff into threaded end to clear air channel (Boges and the KR8 cartos I use have a defined center air channel and I want to see light through that) While the carto is still open end down, touch a soft bunch of tissue to the top of the stuffing to get the loose juice - this will help prevent leaks.
Settle (first fill only)
Cap and let it settle - I lay it on different sides and on the ends for 15-20 minutes to make sure every bit of stuffing gets damp so I won't singe the carto. if you use thicker juice than me (I use 20% Vg or less) then you may need to wait much longer.
While vaping
While vaping, if the vapor gets a bit light or a bit dry or the carto is getting hotter than normal, I take the carto off the battery and add eliquid. Also, I use such light sediment-free juices, I can look at the stuffing and see if it needs juice because the stuffing goes back to near-white.
I often use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece on Boge and KR8 cartos (not to drip into since the juice would head for the central air channel). Easy to pop out to add juice.
