I understand the whole steeping process but how is the liquid supposed to steep with the only opening in the bottle being a tiny hole? Am I missing a step or something?

Make sure you put your thumb over the top & shake once a day too.

It's the bottles from MBV. The cap is the only thing I can take off
I've heard of steeping and didn't really know the details. Do you really just open the bottle and leave it for awhile? I'm no germaphobe but I have cats around the house. And there's always dust to think about. I've noticed the juices I have will change flavors, usually for the better but not always, as I have them longer. I haven't left the caps off of any of them. I thought that might be steeping.
I have lots of bottles from MBV. The dropper top comes off, use a paper towel and grab the dropper top with it and slightly tilt while pulling on it. It will come off, that's how I steep all my bottles.
Just pry it off by pushing your thumb on the dropper tip. It comes right off with no hassle and goes right back on.

Popping the caps off for a week & shaking daily helps speed the steeping process.
I have a dedicated medicine cabinet in the kitchen, the highest shelf is my steeping shelf. 2 dogs & a cat & haven't had any problems doing it that way yet.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I have a couple of flavors I've been "waiting on" that could use a boost.
I take only the caps off for about a day, then put them back on and put to one side. Taking the caps off helps evaporate the perfumey taste from MBV flavorings (IMHO - yours may be different)
Then I put them in my vape chest and wait a few days / weeks depending on what juice it is and how much I want to vape it.
I don't think you need to have the caps off to steep - in fact I know this is true. I have two different juices exactly the same but one is 2 weeks younger - they are different colors and I haven't removed the cap on either since the first day I got them.

Thanks for the info. I'm on day 9 of steeping but with the drip tips on. Should I give them an extra few days?
At the very least you should open them once each day, squeeze the air out of them and suck fresh air in. The 3 enemies of juice are heat, air and light but they can be used to our advantage when steeping. You can generally expect the juices to slightly darken.
Thanks!!! I never knew why I liked my older liquids better. Gonna do this when I get home to the newest liquids and see if some I hated become favorites
I get all my juice from MBV and to be honest, I see absolutely NO difference in flavor if I steep or not...it taste the same from the first day I get em in the mail or if I steep em for 1-2 months....to me its NOT like marinating or a 2 day old spaghetti sauce mixing flavors and spices...
you don't have to take off the cap and nipple but it will steep much faster if you do
Well now that clears that up for me, and to think i was going to start a thread about why my juices are getting a little darker... Great info... Thanks..

You're welcome. Here's a vid to show how juices darken and although I don't steep this way it really illustrates this point.
Thats a very good question...
@Vapoor eyes, Thats a very informative video, i don't do it like that either, but i just might give that a try...
