I usually make my e-liquied in 30 ml but found one that My hubby and I both love. I have made us both a 50 ml batch. We use different Nic levels. I have notices his (higher nic level) had already changed colors whereas mine is still clear. Do I need to let the 50 ml steep longer than I would a 30 ml?
Steep Time for 50 ml

steep time should be the about the same ish for 30 or 50 ml . if you are making large batches one thing you could do is seed steep. thats where you leave a little in the bottle and mix on top of that. that already steeped juice mixed with the fresh will speed up the process a bit. example if you make 50 ml remix when you are down to 10ml and mix those together. or make 100ml and let 50 sit while you vape the other 50, when you get down to 10 ml mix 40 on top of it and vape your already steep 50 ml and around and around it goes
Originally I also used 30ml bottles, but now I use 50ml. I find no real difference is steeping time. I initially steep mine around one week to two before I use them, but the caps never go back on. So in a way, they're steeping up to a month.
I think there are a few misconceptions here. First off not all juices benefit from steeping. Color change can just be the Nic oxidizing. I always try my juice after mixing, if you don't how would you know how steeping affects that particular mix.
Steeping is done with the cap on imo. Leaving the cap off can evaporate off flavoring. I've never had to do this for my DIY mixes.
Airing out is with the cap off I've only had to do that once or twice on a store bought juice in hopes of evaporating off a strong chemical/alcohol smell.

I agree with steve also, my reply is under the assumption you know already your juice needs steeped for "X" amount of time. but it will work none the less 
I mix a little different consistency than some folks. 40/60 PG / VG and find that my steeping ranges from a couple hours to a few days depending on the complexity of the cocktail. Not much difference in time frames with larger batches.
