Is there anyway to "speed steep" I just got 8 bottles of juice from two different companies and most of them smell da*n good but they don't taste the best. People keep saying to let them sit for a few weeks but I don't really have that much time. When I get a flavor I want it to taste like what it's supposed to taste like and it would really start to turn me off to vapeing if I wait say two weeks and they still suck.
Speed Steeping?

Some people say you can sit the uncapped bottle in a pot of hot water for a few minutes and that will speed up the steeping, but I've never tried it. Once you accumulate some juices, giving them time to steep is no big deal because you will have other juices to vape for a week or so while the new ones steep.
And, unfortunately, you will find some/many juices that you don't like even after they have steeped. It just seems to be a fact of life in the vaping world. On the average, out of 10 juices I probably like 2 or 3 to varying degrees. And if I find just 1 of 10 that I really love, I consider that to be a success. But when you find one or two that you really love, it's worth it.
Just remember to buy small sample sizes (3ml or 5ml). I learned that lesson the hard way. I've bought many juices that I thought I would love, but didn't like them at all. Some of those were 30ml bottles I bought when I first started.

When you are new to vaping you often don't have juices on hand to allow for lead time.
I've been thinking about taking some of my larger 30ml and 50ml bottles of eJuice and divy-ING them up into smaller bottles. Just to get the eJuice to steep faster.
Juices that are "perfumey" or have a chemical smell may benefit from being uncapped.
If i'm feeling impatient i'll toss them in a cup of hot water and give them a stir now and then until it's room temperature. Sometimes i'll tuck a bottle into my cleavage to "incubate" and/or to thin VG heavy juices a bit.
There's a thread on speed steeping in the tips and tricks subforum.

Hmmmmm. I don't have cleavage, but I suppose I could shove a couple of 50ml bottles down my pants. It might not help the steeping process, but it could help me at a nightclub.

You really want chicks that only want you for your juice??
My method for "speed steeping" involves removing the caps off the bottles, squeezing them a few times to get new air into them (and try to do this at least a few times a day if you can remember), shaking, and also leaving them on top of my monitor or router since it's slightly warm on top of those, but not too hot. The warmth I believe helps it steep faster. I don't know if this method is actually effective or not in reality, but it seems to work for me. So yea... shake and squeeze several times a day, leave on top of something warm with cap off.
My experience, if you don't like it after 3 days, your not gonna like it.
Steeping after 3 days can turn a good juice into a great juice but I haven't found it to turn a bad juice into a good juice. Thats just my opinion that few may agree with.
