Edit: I realized that I should put a disclaimer here. Not all juice will change color when it steeps. Especially dark juices like chocolate and apparently butterscotch. I've seen it happen with others, though.
Well, I think it's cool, anyway. So, I got an order in today. It had Spearmint in it, which I had ordered about a month ago so I already had some steeped. I've mentioned before to newbies that you can sometimes see steeping because it changes colors. Not always, but sometimes. Anyhoo, now I can actually show evidence that steeping happens. And I promise you that this new bottle of Spearmint will be unvapable since that was the case with the first bottle which looked exactly the same at first.
So! Pictures! This first picture shows that it's the same flavor, as if I'd lie about it. PG/VG mix is different, but not by much and I promise that it still looks the same as the other one did brand new:
Alright, you can't see a lot of the juice there since the label is in the way. Which is why I took a picture of it from behind! Sounds dirty, I know, but that's not how I roll.
Voila! The steeped spearmint reached that color after about a week and a half to two weeks. I kept it locked up in an old e-cig kit box that had one of those magnetic lids. Any dark spot would work fine. I might let this bottle steep out in the light and see if it does it at the same rate to see if the dark actually helps.
So, bookmark this thread so you can show it to newbies that ask if steeping is necessary or scoff at the idea

Yeah, I know. I usually do 80/20 but I decided to go with 100% this time to see if it wicks better in my ce2 cartos. I haven't tried any of them yet, because I'm trying to vape through what I have in my tester cart. Then I'll clean it and give my new flavors a go. I have Butterscotch and Arctic Ice, though I already know I like the latter. My husband got Caramel Candy as his trial bottle since we're always wanting to try something new. I'm thinking about getting into that, too. They both smell awesome, but that's not always a good indicator.
