Nearly all eliquids benefit from steeping. It's always a good idea to buy eliquids at least 2 weeks before you think you'll need them. You can definitely vape some flavors fresh out of the mail, but if you can get a little bit ahead of what you need you'll enjoy vaping a bit more.
Honestly, it's really only hard to do when you're first starting out. Once you've been vaping for a few months you'll probably have a few flavors that you put aside because you didn't like them when you first tried them. I've had liquids that were terrible when they were fresh and nearly threw them out. After a couple weeks or months in the "time-out" pile they were so much better. It's a good idea to let your liquids pile up rather then let them start to run out before ordering new ones.
Just received the following:
Cantaloupe, Cranberry, Banana Nut Bread, French Vanilla, Spearmint, Peppermint, Cucumber Lime, Cheesecake, Peanut Butter cup, Cinnamon Red Hot, Almond Chocolate Coconut, Dominican Cigar, Cinnamon Roll, Butterscotch, Vanilla bean, Peach Ring & created my own, Bavarian Cream/Banana Nut Bread/Cinnamon Roll. So far:
Peanut butter cup: It's ok. Gonna let it sit. Probably should have got a flavor shot. Subtle flavors, but the flavor is spot on. Soft touches of peanut butter and chocolate is faint.
Dominican Cigar: Tastes like a puff from a cigar. Dominican... meh, probably. good taste.
Banana Nut Bread: Definite banana flavor. Almost like the banana candy. Bready undertones. Just like a slice of bread. you can almost taste the yeast fermentation.
My own creation, Bavarian Cream/Cinn Roll/Banana Nut Bread: Liking this! Good banana bread taste, creamy and nice spice hit on the tongue from the cinn roll.
These three were right out of the box. Hoping that time is kind to them. Will update other flavors as I go.

Made another order! I can not recommend Caribbean Breeze enough!!! I am almost out of the 12 ml bottle I bought the first time around and I rotate this flavor daily with two others that are my favorites. Lucky 7 Vapes definitely has a long time customer in me!

I got it with my order last week. Smells great out of the mail. Taste is a lil weak and not very smooth out of the mail though.
It's been steeping for a week, and it is coming together quite nicely. Vaping some right now actually. I imagine another week of steeping and it'll be fantastic!

Ok, the juices I got had some time to steep. I got one of the funky batches of the vanilla bean ice cream, a replacement is on the way.
Sweet watermelon: Good right out of the mail, not overly sweet or sugary like many watermelon juices tend to be. It has a great watermelon flavor, which is getting smoother with time steeping.
Strawberries and cream: Again, great out of the mail. My favorite so far. Not too sweet, good cream flavor, which is becoming more pronounced and complex as it steeps.
Kahlua and cream: A bit harsh out of the mail, very pronounced coffee flavor. This juice is dark! After steeping a couple of weeks, the cream component is starting to show up, and the coffee harshness is diminishing somewhat. It's good now, I am sure it will get better with more steeping. I'm going to order some sweetener with my next order, it would benefit this juice I think.
Vanilla bean ice cream: As I said, I got one of the "off" ones. It was quite peppery right out of the mail, but the components were there. The peppery flavor is mostly gone, but I am getting more cream taste than a pronounced vanilla flavor. Steeping definitely helped. I will report when I get the replacement, which I am looking forward to. I really like "creamy" type flavors.
All in all, great juice at a really good price. I will be placing a pretty large order around the middle of April to try some new flavors, and stock up on my favorites.

Trying the Cantaloupe this morning. It's a little sweet. Kind of like Cantaloupe candy. The flavor is good and it smells like fresh cut lope. Going to let this one sit a cple weeks and come back to it hoping the sweetness dies down a tad.
It's "aging" - like wine. "Steeping" is a term used to described what people read and repeat. "Steeping" requires a solid in a liquid and the process of the "solid" partially or fully dissolving; something you won't experience with any e-liquid from any vendor.
Don't get sucked in by "special seeping techniques" - no matter if you see the word on a vendors site or used by any in the endless string of "expert opinions".
When financially able - buy juice when you do NOT need it .... try it the day it is received and then let it sit in a cool place and "age" for a couple weeks. The flavor may change or it may stay the same as when originally 'tasted'. If it changes - it is thanks to "aging" and NOT the process of "seeping".
Yes I'm nit-picking - but as you progress through this site you will see "special seeping techniques", "the best seeping technique", "time to 'seep'" and so on; they are all based on letting the 'juice' SIT, INGREDIENTS MIX NATURALLY and "AGE". There is NO "seeping" involved.
If you are not in a rush for your juice give the already recommended Lucky 7 Vapes a try ( Lucky 7 Vapes ). They have had issues with delivery times due to "low prices" (now $2.09 per 12ml) and a massive influx of orders due to ............ LOW PRICES. They have been bashed and bad-mouthed by many - but in the end they deliver and they offer as good a product as any of the 'low price" guys OR the ones who charge ridiculously HIGH prices. Their juices are GOOD quality - every bit as good as the over-hyped vendors you'll see "recommended" by a multitude of folks and costing upwards of a ridiculous $32.00 for 10ml.
Low price and quality can go hand in hand. It can also mean a vendor repackages bulk juice and sells it as being "a special blend" - made by "Artisan Blenders", "Juice Experts" or other such names. It's bunk - don't get sucked in by hype. Buy the least expensive you can find and you will likely find it does the job for YOU.
Why all this rambling? Simply because I am so tired of seeing claims of "the BEST juice ever" or "YOU WILL love it!" thrown about by customers who are forum addicts claiming to be 'experts' in every aspect of 'vaping'. Blint? Yes. Will draw opposing opinions? Certainly. Can save YOU a lot of money in the long run? Without a doubt. Buy "inexpensive" - try multiple "cheap / inexpensive vendors" simply because only YOU will find the juice YOU really do see as being, "the BEST juice ever" AND the ones YOU love. No matter where you purchase - you WILL find some you love and some you hate - no matter the price. Yes - you will spend money on some you cannot stomach - it's unavoidable - at ANY price point.

What Tom said.
Just don't get enamored by the "free shipping over x dollars" and buy a quantity of juice that you know nothing about.
That can make cheap juice expensive real fast. Its disappointing to throw an entire order in the garbage.
Sometimes you can doctor up bad juice to make it vapable--sometimes not.
Speaking from some bad experiences here(NOT referring to Lucky 7 juices btw).

Hi Sooner! Weird question maybe but how long will items stay in my cart? Not done ordering yet and hoping I don't have to put things back in the cart.
Looks like I will be waiting awhile before I can even try

you can vape them as soon as you get them. some may not have reached peak(best) flavor until it sits for a while. most of the flavors i got were great when they got here. strawberries & cream, grape candy, orange cream and tigers blood were good from the start. you should try them when you get them.
Yeah hurry up and wait. My order has been awaiting shipment since Thursday. Doesn't seem to have gone out today either...
EDIT: Thursday not Friday.

Posted in another thread but wanted to share here because I'm so happy with Chris and Lucky 7 Vapes!!!
*The orange caps are Lucky 7 Vapes*
OK soo I had a chance to test some out (tested to many out because I'm nicotined out of my sock lol...taking a break for the next hour or 2)
Everything taste pretty amazing out of the box (30pg/70VG & max VG with 1 flavor shot....they are pretty much the same with the MAX VG having less throat hit). I firmly believe peoples' setups have a lot to do with the amount of flavor your tasting...I don't find these to be weak 1 bit! (yes I was a smoker before vaping for maybe...10-11 years of damage done to my taste buds. I still don't taste foods right but these I have no problem at all)
I really don't even know where to begin with flavors and reviews because I've tried so many now.
From Lucky 7 Vapes
*Berry Blast: great berry flavor..there is something dominant but I can't put my finger on it yet
*Green Apple: Taste just like the name. Taste just as good or better then my local stuff.
*Vanilla Ice Cream: mmmmm silky and smooth. This one does need to steep and sit a little longer to bring out the vanilla in my opion
*Strawberry Cream: Same as the Vanilla. silky,smooth, creamy. I need to let this one sit so the strawberry blends a little better
*MPS: I definitely taste the pineapple more then the other flavors but I believe it needs to blend and steep a little longer. still very good
*Lemonade: Not overwhelming, good lemon flavor...I'm on the fence if I want this one stronger. Currently is very refreshing. I've had stronger lemonade flavor...but I believe I like this one more. To much lemon flavor might not make it as enjoyable. I'm excited to try the strawberry lemonade next
*Menthol: This is icy and strong. I won't vape this by itself unless I use a weaker setup above 1.0-2ohm. I bought this mainly to add to some of the other juices (just a drop) if I'm looking for a menthol kick. Just as good as any other menthol you'll buy
*Banana Bread: Haven't tried yet but it smells more banana dominant. This one I prefer the vape mall's mix just by smell. The Vape Mall has set the bar incredibly high with the Banana Bread flavor I received in a past purchase. Their liquid is incredibly dark in color while Lucky 7's is pretty light in color.
There are so many I haven't tried yet...maybe another day lol. They all smell like they should. Don't seem like they will need to steep long or air out at all. The flavors I got from the vape mall are great as well. To be fair I won't list them on this post but I will say, they are stronger in flavor and seem like they will need to steep longer. For me this isn't all positive. I like the flavors just how they are from Lucky 7. For my* setup... the flavor is perfect. Some people might like the vape malls better because you probably won't need any flavor shots. When I did add a flavor shot to my vape mall purchase, well I'll be throwing those out tonight because I have a surplus amount of juice I love now. They did however fix my own mistake and hook it up.
Both vendors have my business from now on. Throw in some free shipping due to my larger purchases(lucky 7 vapes)..and I'll probably use them exclusively minus the banana bread flavor from the vape mall (its so damn good).
The processing time from the competitor killed lucky 7's...they are newer and have some bugs to work out...so in the long run, no biggie to me. Chris has been so responsive and that's just what everyone is asking for. Keep up the good work with open communication when problems arise and your solid!
I forgot to add...the bottles these come in are way better then the vape malls! Vape mall changed to a hard plastic type so they are protected during shipment more. That is great...but they are a pain in the ... to continuously use when dripping. Lucky 7 is using bottles I'm use to with the soft plastic and needle tip...these can't be beat in my opinion (besides using glass)
Very happy I discovered Lucky 7
