I keep the caps on and store in the basement.
With fresh made juices it sometimes takes even more than a week to get the flavours to come through.

Very different experience with Gourmet Vapors.
Muted would be the LAST word I would use for the juices I got.
Mine are all on the -very- strong/almost bitter and dry side.
My descriptive term for the Gourmet Vapors juices I have would be more like
'very-bold-right-up-in-your-face-not-for-the-timid' juices.
I mean like hitting some of those juices is like getting a whiff of smelling salts, they will definitely get your attention and wake you up if you happened to be nodding off.
I have diluted several of them with some PG juice to tame them down.
Just sayin, very marked difference in uptake.
The most common method of steeping I've read/seen so far is to remove the caps for 24 hours, re-cap, and just let them sit in a dark cool place for a week or two, just depends on the juice.

My answer to any steeping question is Steep It. I have never had a juice get worse after steeping. Stronger? Yes, but never worse. Somewhere cool and dark, cap on. Good luck.
Cap on, Cap off. Is this a preference thing or is there a right way and a wrong way. I'm confused. I read somewhere in a post that exposure to air can do something bad (degrade maybe) the nicotine. I'd never be able to find that post again.

nicotine oxidizes from exposure to air...takes a long time to make a significant change in strength
